As you can see, Arab Israelis enjoy full equalities, they even serve as public prosecutors

Well done that CS. www.independent.ie/irish-news/y...

Rubbish, these "managers" could hardly command entry level salaries in private industry. Utterly incompetent as we can see from the state of our public services.

He means white people.

Yes, please...

This is absolutely true. Another reason NATO is on life support

NEW. Phillips O’Brien is I think excellent here—on where the Russia-Ukraine war stands, on what might happen next, on broader geopolitical implications, and on how drones are transforming warfare. conversationswithbillkristol.org/conversation...

This administration ended work from home policies that caused many federal employees who can't afford DC price to leave government. In the meantime, Cabinet Secretaries treat their jobs like a side hustle to their brand building.

It's impossible to imagine two more morally polar human beings than Donald Trump and Pope Leo.

MAGA Colin Robinson: Americans are going deeper and deeper into debt just to keep their heads above water! This is so awesome! We're the hottest country in the world!

This thread is an excellent demonstration of the shortcomings of US Air Warfare Theory and Doctrine We can all mark our own homework and give ourselves 10/10

Fuck these people. Conservatives are shitty human beings.

Almost 90% of comics creators who earn income from traditional publishing do not earn the national living wage from their work, with 13% relying on state benefits 👇 #BookSky

All these policies for Ireland too.

And I am proud to announce I've been awarded the Guinness Peace Prize in Belfast. More may follow......

I’m just gonna get FIFA to do mine

Brilliant, wish I'd thought of that!!!😂 www.bbc.com/news/article...

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

If you are interested in the recent US-German rift, after Trump was infuriated by Merz‘s recent remarks about the Iran war, and threatened to withdraw US troops and equipment from Germany, this is a very good article by @joerglau.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every new Trump communication on the Straits of Hormuz reveals how at the mercy of Iran the United States now is. Trump is reduced to combining threats with pleas because he has zero way out of a needless war which he started because he thought it would be an easy ‘win’.

Tomorrow morning, we will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.

Don't you live in Florida??? www.dailymail.com/debate/artic...

KELLOGG: Ukrainians fought brilliantly, lost only 1% of land since 2014. You’ve got to give them full credit for what they’ve done. Russians not winning this war, they’re losing. Putin faces huge economic problems, suffered 1.2 to 1.4 million casualties, not going to get Donbas.

If you want to escalate, escalate. Don’t give the Iranians the choice of whether to do so, by sending USN into harm’s way. Especially when it is evident that IRI C2 is weak at best. The idea of painting the Iranians as the Bad Guys is a good one; but it’s too late for that now.

Yes, we should, in fact we should be working on making this happen ASAP. www.thejournal.ie/taoiseach-nu...
