So easy to forget America is full of caring communities and courageous people. I just hope they can stay the course.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

This week I wrote about vigilance, and how I'm less interested in litigating whether Garron Noone is a racist, than in whether what he said was true or not. It wasn't. And people are right to be alarmed that he said it, and to wonder why he did. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Always amazed at the 'no one knew' crowd. Everyone knew, and everyone was complicit.... except for the rare few who had a conscious. RIP #speirgorm Https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-41577724.html

Elon Musk has changed his X profile. His avatar is now Pepe the Frog, a mascot adopted by white supremacists. His name is a Latinisation of “Kek”, a phrase used by neo-Nazis. Musk has also backed AfD in Germany, the political home for racists. The man is telling us explicitly what he’s about.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

If you don’t collect the data then you don’t know whether a problem exists. And if there’s no evidence of a problem, then there’s no need for a policy solution. It’s not an accident that so many OECD countries don’t collate race or ethnicity data. Pandemic highlighted how data can save lives.

podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/b... For all my new Irish friends, because of the strangest case of mistaken identity in the history of Irish-American relations, I've been invited to be interviewed by Katie Hannon. The taping is tomorrow and I'll let you know when it's scheduled to be aired
