We are living in a timeline that is so upside down that this witch is now joining sides with the Pope and the Vatican. Let that sink in.
This is wild.

So the #NationalGuard has been deployed in #Minneapolis & all my historian brain can think is this.

Ask the people in the #NorthofIreland how it worked out for them when the #soldiers were called in to protect them from a corrupt police force.

Go on. Ask.

Many years ago this photo was supposed to be a farewell post to a pub I worked at but I stayed on until now. All things end eventually tho, so now’s the time for it. Related: looking for an Irish culture/music/history social media witch? It’s niche but I’m your huckleberry & I’m good at it too!

Still buzzing from pulling off the best bday surprise w/our Irish sisters! Genuinely thrilled for us all to have a minute together but I really don’t recommend traveling to the US right now. Glad they did but gladder still they’re safely home now.

They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.

Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria. 

Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.

We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action. 

This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.

All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.

At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.

Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.

This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards. 

To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.

Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.

No smear campaign will change that. 

Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain. 

The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power. 

Shame on them.

can’t say anything about #SinnersMovie except that you must go see it in the theater & you must go immediately.

We’re going back tomorrow to see it again & that won’t be the last time either. Holy moly, the film is incredible.

Y’all, tix for #FyreFestival 2, (electric boogaloo?) are apparently on sale. Who are the people willing to fall for this twice? At least this time they’re offering “survival training”.

Are you taking American refugees yet? I know your history, love your culture, & have been trying to learn your language for years. Pick me!

Mackers and Boston College should have destroyed those tapes as soon as Voices From the Grave was released. They knew the subpoenas would come in & it was the only ethical thing to do.
