If other Western countries go along with this action, they’re showing that they’re cowards and willing to sell international law down the river in the hope of currying favor with Trump in exchange for better trade and tariff terms. The hypocrisy of the West will be on full display.
It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be
ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too
US military now briefing troops that its strike on Iran "will likely result in counterstrikes on US bases and facilities" in the Middle East, and "likely activate Iran and other foreign terrorist organizations cells abroad including the US to conduct strikes against US persons and facilities"
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
Fair fucks to The Journal for their reporting here, feel like you never hear the human impact of immigration policies all you get is the statistics
gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.
We are so cooked. Our brains have been microwaved. Nothing is left but grey, stupid soup.
First slide of the Instagram post from Illustrators Ireland, on a green background. It reads "Generative AI is targeting already vulnerable artists working in the arts sector, with resources the individual artist does not have a chance to object against. This creates a very uneven balance of power. Swipe to see more." #art #arts
Statement from Illustrators Ireland on genAI. Any writer or musician worth their salt would care enough about their own work to avoid the use of genAI images. Damaging other workers in the arts for short-term gain is incredibly selfish and hugely disappointing.

Headline reading "UN report indicates that irish teenagers are among the least happy in high-income countries"
Headline reading "council drops plan for new playground in Clonsilla"
I've got my conspiracy board out again, desperately trying to find a link between "Irish young people are very unhappy" and "plans for playground cancelled due to fears they will attract anti-social behaviour"
Very firmly a fan of entering an era of telling hand-wringing political party members to stand up for something for once or fuck off
Piece ignores that Shamel didn't pay Geila Ibram for sex. He used the fact she was selling sex as cover to get into her flat & kill her. This isn't "evidence that the sex trade is violent", it's evidence that sex workers have insufficient protection under our laws

Absolutely bonkers that you're talking to TV execs instead of experts
Nothing really captures the risk of deadly levels of heat leading to thousands of excruciating fatalities quite like a nice snap of two people enjoying the lovely weather under an umbrella.
Using one of several sock-puppet accounts Harris sent tweets to Aoife-Grace Moore saying she was “turned on” by Mary Lou McDonald. He referred to her as “sniping from behind Derry hedges,” and “her SF backside is sticking up in the air”. His harassment was so bad she had to make a criminal complaint

This is who “gender-critical” activists are…
LGB Alliance Cymru @LGBAllies_Cymru For all those excited at the thought of women with short hair being excluded from the Ladies, yes, sometimes we're challenged. No, it's never an issue once we speak or the challenger has a proper look. They apologise, we laugh. All good. No-one dies: we are women, not snowflakes. 1:40 PM · Apr 19, 2025 · 3.6M Views
To remain safe in bathrooms all I have to do is simply show my vagina to anyone who questions my femininity. Thank you for keeping me safe from male predators LGB Alliance
Scratch a Gender Critical…
The brave “women’s rights” movement turns on migrants.
Remember, GCism is not Far Right .
Does Sinn féin want Ireland to aquiesce to the British supreme Court or the European Court of Human Rights because that's the conversation Sinn féin are having. I am fucking livid!
SINN FEIN: Ah the Brits now. Wouldn't be a fan of those fellas at all. Strongbow, Lizzie the First, 800 years, jellied eels, David Walliams.
BRITAIN: How about a bit of transphobia?
SINN FEIN: Oh now you're speaking the Queen's English to me. Tally ho!

It's been clear to see the direction of travel we're heading towards around trans people's ability to live free from prejudice and discrimination in the UK
Stormont parties must step up and outline what they are going to do to protect trans people right now.

Yeah, this means this summer the UK will introduce its equivalent of a bathroom bill (via EHRC Code of Practice).
It will be unworkable, cruel, and only the beginning.
Ye best believe if these lads get into government they will transform into perfect clones of Fine Gael to tell you better things aren't possible so damn quickly ye won't be able to finish your wee Wolfe Tones song.
You cannot reform this
Of course. The orders of the Catholic Church only care about their own survival and profits and not the harm they've caused people over the years. #Spéirgorm
