Agreed. And I would add that deportations to third countries where the individual has no connection is a pretty much a living death.

Here's the CDC report -- on how effective the Covid vaccines are -- that was censored by Jay Bhattacharya. Good for @jeremyfaust.bsky.social getting the leak: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

Are you a woman in Irish academia who has experienced online abuse or witnessed colleagues being subjected to it? A just launched survey at the University of Galway wants to capture your experiences: forms.office.com/e/1GgAfHeNtH @uniofgalway.bsky.social @researchireland.ie #SaferInternetDay

kids don’t get security details while libs of tiktok incites shootings at their schools. people see that and are fucking sick of it

'Merica where people are demanding change & safety after an event with no bodycount... These are also the people who claim nothing can be done after 30 school children are murdered... If doing nothing is good enough for children, doing nothing is good enough for politicians and reporters.

TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo: “weak on crime” “terrible for foreign policy” “catering to the Radical Left” “owes his position to me” “sit down and mind your own business” POPE LEO, unbothered: “We are called to love.”

This is a nightmare

It is very strange to me how many people think our troubles are the fault of some of the poorest people in the country, and that the answer is to make their lives even more miserable. Why are they falling for it?

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Some of the most successful political propaganda was convincing so many Christians that supporting policies that gut social safety nets, cut healthcare, defund SNAP, roll back environmental protections, and endlessly fund war is somehow the “pro life” and “family values” position.

During the Great Famine, John Milton Niles of Connecticut declared in the U.S. Senate that “Charity begins at home" as he argued against the U.S. Government sending direct aid to Ireland during the Great Famine. The ignorance and selfishness of this ‘protest’ is beyond belief.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

What’s perhaps most incredible about Nay Bhattacharya doing a government censorship is that he has whined about being “censored” for SIX DAMN YEARS, yet he was NEVER censored by the government himself. Now he’s actually done it. He’s used his governmental power to censor a scientific study.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

I'm pleased to launch a major new update of the Andersonville Irish Project database. It contains details on over 1060 Irish Americans who died. New datapoints include place of enlistment, capture, occupation, together with Irish origins. Access it here: irishamericancivilwar.com/2026/03/01/m...

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

US Rep. Brendan Boyle interviewed by RTÉ on the case of an Irish citizen interned in an ICE concentration camp for several months, a story first broken by @klillington.bsky.social www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

Wouldn’t do it to save grandma, will do it to deport her. We see where your priorities lie.

The US is shipping people across the Atlantic in chains through our country. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love” “Together, we are America”

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

Bad Bunny for Vanity Fair in 2023: “What I do, I do from my heart...I believe that every human being has the duty to have empathy for others, to help others, to respect them, to always try to contribute something to society, to bring a positive change.” www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/0...

This was so joyful. Fantastic show!

Tomorrow in Boston: A phone-bank to support extending TPS for Haitians.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

@motherjones.com had this one last week before it was top of the page @nytimes.com Those of us working on projects for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration have anticipated such a giant whitewash laden with grift. Everyone should read real history right now and support real historians.

People really don’t know their history on this. A friend told me how different her Irish ancestors were from today’s immigrants as “they loved America and assimilated as soon as they got here” - ignoring both how America didn’t love them and how much those immigrants changed America.

the two years of transformation:

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

Organ rejection is one of the worst ways to die naturally (for some values of "natural"). Look it up at your own risk, or take my word for it, accept that they're torturing a man to death, & act accordingly.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

Really looking forward to hearing this one!

One lesson MAHA disinformation doctors learned regarding COVID is they could make outrageous fake claims and except for a few people here, everyone else would forget. Things are no different today.

SHABOOZEY: “Immigrants built this country.”

From yesterday's Irish Times.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

Imagine the mindset of someone who would do this.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

This is horrific. Totally peaceful march with families gassed in Portland.

10/10 ICE protest sign

Reminder that this is an absolutely urgent need in the Minneapolis area and rent is due TOMORROW. Families in hiding aren’t working and can’t pay rent. Ashley Fairbanks is a locally trusted person and this fundraiser is real.

Hey powerlifters, what do we think about starting a campaign like "Deadlifts Against Detention and Deportation" and make a fundraiser for immigrant/refugee legal and community services?

Sign spotted after a student-organized protest in Nyack, NY today.

Scenes from Rockland Lake’s Knickerbocker Ice Festival in suburban NY today. Ice from this lake once supplied the world, with shipments going as far as India and South Africa. It was known for its purity and so popular that a lake in Sweden was renamed “Rockland Lake” to trade on the name.
