Do you know what would be really great to see? All those tractors driving down to Doonbeg and occupying the golf course of the man who got everyone into this mess...

The best of America and the worst on the same day is really hard to take.

Makes me wanna holler

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Vance’s presence is telegraphing what’s next for the United States. Like Hungary he wants:

👉 Closer alignment with Russia
👉 Capture of state institutions
👉 Rigging the system to stay in power

HEADLINE OF THE DAY:

I just don’t think you need to love war crimes to be a real man.

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

This be the verse

Sending ICE agents who are being paid handsomely to the airport to stand around not helping TSA agents who aren’t being paid at all because of a dispute over paying ICE agents …it’s pretty diabolical.

This makes me want to storm the GPO myself.

We are being governed by manosphere shitposters.

Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2026 The big picture on how many people are locked up in the United States and why

The number of people detained by ICE rose by an astonishing 58% (25,200) between 2025 and 2026; expanded immigration detention accounts for virtually all of the growth in mass incarceration since our last report. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2...

Like clockwork.

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

Last summer in Positano, the skies opened and a biblical downpour turned the streets into rushing rivers, drenching the hordes of summer-dress wearing Instagram influencers and ruining their Limoncellos. Absolute scenes. I could not stop laughing. I think I might be a chaos demon.

This is Inishtrahull, a small island above my home county of Donegal. The last inhabitants left in 1929; the lighthouse keepers moved away in 1987. Its rocks are the oldest in Ireland, at 1.8 billion years old. That’s the age I feel when I read the current news cycle.

Seamus Heaney was right, poetry is strong enough to help in moments of crisis.

The Terrifying Revelation About Trump’s Strike on Iran Girls’ School Was the strike based on outdated information?

If you want to clear the ground for a generational upheaval, perhaps don’t start it with a Bloody Sunday of their school children. newrepublic.com/post/207199/...

The circular earthworks of an early medieval ringfort, set high on a ridge looking over green countryside towards distant mountains.

The King's Fort • Derry

This is one of the best preserved ringforts in Ulster. It likely dates to some time between the 6th—12th century.

It is situated on the southern slopes of Benbradagh, commanding spectacular views over Drumsurn in County Derry.

We’re at the cosplaying colonists of yore section of the MAGA extinction burst.

But there’s no second Troy to sack or burn.

The Great Hunger was the biggest social disaster of the 19 century in Europe. It killed as many people as a low level nuclear strike. It was the cause of unprecedented mass migration. Stay and starve - or leave and hope to survive. British imperialism/exploitation was to blame.

Take Irelands name out of your mouth when you want to rationalize white supremacy. The Irish didn’t come to America to share their culture. They came fleeing destitution and starvation in their homeland, courtesy of the kind of imperial power you now fetishize. We don’t forget.

When I was a boy I wanted a pink Rolls Royce that could fly but The New York Times didn’t write a story about it.

‘No Reason He Should Have Died’: Alex Pretti’s Parents Open Up

Alex Pretti's parents keep a box crammed with 200 letters and cards that have poured into their Denver home since their son was shot and killed by immigration agents.

"He's my first born," Susan Pretti said. "He's the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day."

It’s unusual to see the apotheosis of someone’s life in a picture, but this may well be Pam Bondi’s. I have a feeling this image will come to haunt and define her (and the second Trump presidency) in American history.

Can you still call it a culture war if one sides unarmed?

Lots of non-Black people #onhere today saying that "everyone" will move on from the fascist in chief's anti-Black post in a couple of days. I am wondering if Black people are included in the "everyone" or if you just mean yourselves.
