"You're an internationalist?" asked McConnell incredulously, like he completely missed the last 150 years of the history of Irish republicanism... #SpeirGorm

Like father, like son: The Shah hid away in a hotel in Paris while the CIA coordinated the Iranian coup on behalf of Britain. He didn't return until he knew it was 100% safe. Neither he nor his son had/have the popular support www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

ICE now kidnapping Native Americans.

One difference between fascism and garden-variety authoritarianism is that fascism requires *public* violence. The spectacle of gratuitous violence must be public, because fascism is built on the mythos that evil schemers are a threat to the true volk.

Using your eyes and ears to come to an obvious conclusion is 'left-wing' now

The last thing Iran needs is another US Israel-backed coup. Regime change is obviously badly needed but not for Iranians to end up with another Shah puppet

Elements of 1953 American/British coup on Iran: • Propaganda Campaign: CIA MI6 conduct media disinformation • Bribery: Large sums used to bribe politicians, army officers, mullahs, newspaper editors, mob leaders • Mobilisation of Protesters: CIA agents organise, fund massive street protests

Needless to say, McDowell couldn't pass up the opportunity too equate the far-right and far-left and to attack the Shinners in his puff-piece. History has shown that it's turgid neoliberals like him that lay the ground for the fascists by never taking them seriously until it's too late #SpeirGorm

Another hour. Another attack on a US institution by Trump and his lackeys.

The threat to shut X in the UK is a threat to the whole far right ecosystem. They're going to throw everything at stopping it because they know it would cause them almost irreparable damage. That's not the case for more moderate voices on left and right who have choices..

Some common sense at last. I have family in Philadelphia a travel there regularly. I look forward to returning when the current criminal is out of the White House.

Its pretty sad that there are millions of people in the US who actually want to live in a country where it's OK to kill someone in the manner Renee Good was murdered. Hilariously these people are the same ones who are totally opposed to 'Gig Government Overreach'.

Nothing new here. Israel was using this tactic to manufacture consent when I left Twitter X two years ago towards the start of the Gaza genocide.

One of multiple key takeaways from the murder of Renee Good is how much of a fucking sociopathic liar JD Vance is. Way better than Trump. That fake indignation in the face of all the evidence is not easy to pull off. Anyone who thinks the problems end if Trump were to die are dangerously deluded

Jonathan Ross was obviously a sick, sadistic loon who was looking for an excuse to execute someone. This just proves it

The irony of JD Vance and Trump lecturing Europe about civilisational erasure while the US literally tears itself apart by the day.

I'm guessing Denmark will end up making some kind of deal to hand Greenland over to the US. Breaking up NATO will be too high a price for Europe.

Good on @garygannontd.bsky.social for doing what everyone should do. Remaining on Twitter X is complicity at this stage.

I enjoyed X for live GAA scores for matches either happening simultaneously that I couldn't watch or ones I was missing. The GAA org should stop, and push all affiliated clubs to stop using X as a platform, if they care about the welfare of kids at all. Can't be on a high horse with blinkers on.

Trump simply lifted the sanctions on Venezuelan oil which he or his predecessors could have done at any time without having to kidnap Maduro. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Anyone remember when Britain was tough as nails with the unarmed population of the North of Ireland? #speirgorm

I'm not sure indiscriminate bombing of civilians because of their ethnicity and religion would go down as well in Australia as it does in Israel

Ben Shapiro's reputation is already going down the toilet with MAGA. This attempt to frame everyone against the Gaza genocide as antisemites will help speed that up
