General Emmet Dalton leads the amphibious assault on Cork himself. He thinks he can sail up the river Lee all the way to Cork. However, the anti-treaty IRA control the river and have prepared a warm welcome for Dalton and his forces. open.spotify.com/episode/5T2M...

Cork is a vital economic center for both the Provisional Government and the anti-treaty IRA. Right now it is in the IRA’s hands, but they’re quickly learning that it’s horrible being in charge of an entire city AND fighting a civil war. open.spotify.com/episode/5T2M...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Pretty clear that America's richest people got together in a room some time over the last 5 years & decided that Americans have gotten uppity -- demanding better wages & working conditions, asking for humane corporate policy & an end to racism -- and that they needed to be put in their place.

Gentle reminder that the European Union was established because the first four decades of our 20th century were mostly internecine war and genocide.

I had an awkward conversation with someone today about the cuts to Medicare and how the current administration is a death cult but also fuck those immigrants and foreigners and trans people. We should be investigating Russian immigrants who are laundering money and Patel

The Free State Army was able to take the city of Kerry through an amphibious landing. Can they repeated their success by taking the city of Cork? Not if the anti-treaty IRA Cork No. 1 Brigade has anything to say about it.

You’re a member of the Harbour Commissioner Staff in Kerry & you notice that the anti-treaty IRA have planted a mine at one of the causeways. If that causeway explodes, it’s going to affect Kerry’s economy. So what if some of you just…disarm it? open.spotify.com/episode/1806...

We are just about at the point where a court orders the government do something & the government refuses to do it, which is practically what this amounts to. Either the courts find an effective mechanism to force compliance, or Trump steamrolls right over them.

Instead of risking a land assault, Free State Army General, Emmet Dalton, launches an amphibious campaign to take both Kerry and Cork. As Dalton sails to Cork, he entrusts the capture of Kerry to Paddy O’Daly, who would certainly make a name for himself in Kerry. open.spotify.com/episode/1806...

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action. Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:

This is an excellent legal analysis by Katherine Yon Ebright and @lizagoitein.bsky.social of Trump's unlawful border "invasion" declaration. Turns out Abraham Lincoln once led a campaign to censure James Polk for falsely invoking the Invasion Clause, which sparked the Mexican-American War.

What’s also upsetting a lot of these ✋🏻 people is the fact that they are also ignoring historical & global context. Do you know HOW many countries & governments Uncle Sam is responsible for stealing? Collapsing? Preventing? Steam-rolling? Did you really think none of that would boomerang “home”?

"Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go... What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?" Eighty two years ago today Sophie Scholl was executed, aged 21, for her part in the non-violent, anti-Nazi group the White Rose.

What’s really getting me is the people arguing and going “trust me I’m neurodivergent 🤪” okay, but are you autistic? Because the autistic community has been firm that any “cure” is eugenics & genocide. That to “cure” us of our neurotype is to kill us ND allistics joining in is really disheartening

First off autism, ADHD, and neurodivergence are NOT diseases. Second, Erin is right. This is the language of eugenics. If that truth makes you uncomfortable ask yourself why.

None of these conditions are threats. You know what are dire threats: fascism and eugenics.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...
