It’s really annoying that Democracy for Sale a has hardly been credited anywhere in last 24 hours for breaking story of Labour Together paying to spy on journalists *almost two weeks* ago

Hadn’t expected Tory press office to be the exception!

DHS Shooting Victim in Minneapolis Was a ‘Sweet’ and ‘Principled Person’ Zeteo spoke with two doctors who worked with Alex Pretti, a nurse who is the latest victim of Trump’s violent invasion of Minnesota.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.

Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.

And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

We are horrified and saddened by the death of our colleague Hussein Alnajjar who died yesterday in #Gaza.

His death was due to shrapnel injuries caused by an Israeli airstrike near his tent five days earlier.

President suggests Israel should be excluded from the UN President Michael D Higgins has suggested Israel and countries that supply it with weapons should be excluded from the United Nations.

He didn't just call for the exclusion of Israel, but those that arm Israel too.

"We must look at their exclusion from the United Nations itself, and we should have no hesitation any longer in relation to ending trade with people who are inflicting this at our fellow human beings."

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, UN Commission says “The responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies with Israeli authorities at the highest echelons,” says group’s chair.

The new IRB: a band of conspiracy theorists who have set up a parallel Irish ‘government’ This fringe group, drawn from the ranks of anti-lockdown protesters and business people laid low by the crash, have a cabinet, local co-ops and even a network of ‘courts’

This version of the IRB is now in the process of establishing a shadow government to run in parallel with what it calls the “corporate government” in Leinster House. It has a cabinet of ministers (which it calls secretaries), a nascent court system and a network of local government bodies. It has also adopted a new time zone, called Irish Rising Time, which is 25 minutes slower and based on the time zone used in Dublin until the 1916 rising.

Piece in the Times today about the how Freeman of the Land types have taken over the IRB, and it's full of delicious nuggets like them operating under their own timezone: Irish Rising Time
