FF & FG have had literally over 100 unbroken years of governance to do something. Yet they constantly act like they popped into existence five minutes ago and throw a strop if you suggest otherwise. Refuse to govern, refuse to take responsibility, refuse to do anything except say "DONT BLAME ME"

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

1. Don't snitch-tag. 2. Don't explain to people what they just said. 3. Don't "correct" people's jokes. 4. Don't respond seriously to silly little posts. 5. Don't respond trivially to obviously serious posts. 6. Don't "jocularly insult" people you don't know. The rest is commentary.

As the Irish Government signals support for Trump's Gaza 'Peace Plan', there should be no doubt that the removal of the Triple Lock is about breaking a 65 year long commitment to the UN and international law so we can more easily side with Western imperial blocs.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

So, one of the more immediate challenges for those of us in history right now is to thread the needle between showing all the continuities (over-policing, militarization of police, stop-and-frisk, other kidnappings of immigrant groups) while also expressing the peril of this precise moment.

The Occupied Territories Bill was promised, delayed, and now quietly abandoned. While Gaza faces ongoing devastation, Irelandâs response is hesitation and excuses. This Government must stop stalling and take a clear, principled stand.
