welcome to a very rough 1st draft of my dissertation. i want to scream and i want to cry. these are all GENUINE quotes from barristers (given anonymously)

An interview with an Irishman in 1962. Absolutely brilliant. "Irish people have gone all over the world, it'd be bad if they were discriminated against in the countries they went to, why should we discriminate anyone coming in here then?"

BREAKING: Back in March Trump claimed that the US blew up a "drug trafficking training camp," in Ecuador and released this video of the attack. Today we just found out, thanks to the New York Times, that it was actually a dairy farm. The US Government stated at the time: "At the request of Ecuador, the Department of War executed targeted action to advance our shared objective of dismantling narco-terrorist networks. This operation demonstrates the power of coordinated action and sends a clear message: narco-terrorist networks will not find refuge in our hemisphere." I am so f-cking embarrassed to be an American right now.

did i just find an ad inside a book 😭

🚨HOLY SH*T: Mark Kelly just showed Tulsi Gabbard a Trump email to donors promising he’d let them in national security briefings for cash. "Do you think (his) supporters should be able to pay and receive private national security briefings?" Gabbard: …

This is stark evidence of how normalised far-right rhetoric has become in our mainstream media. A @Independent_ie columnist calling the rainbow and trans pride flag “paedophile flag[s]”, and framing LGBT people as legitimate targets for “local paedophile hunters”. Repulsive.

This story is HORRIFIC. This DACA recipient was brought here by his parents in 1999 when he was 8 years old. He is a laboratory scientist who's had DACA since 2012. Now he's languishing in an ICE detention center because the Trump admin failed to process his renewal in time!

New: Dolores Huerta writes lengthy statement following @nytimes investigation into Cesar Chavez. Huerta says she had sexual encounters with Chavez resulting in 2 children. “I have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farm worker movement…”

BREAKING: Étienne Davignon, 93 year old coloniser and former EU supremo, has been charged with complicity in the murder of Patrice Lumumba. This is genuinely huge news. Great news. "Every day for the thief, one day for the owner" - African proverb.

Belgium is actively considering bringing criminal charges against the coloniser and former EU big cheese, Étienne Davignon (91), for his role in the murder of Patrice Lumumba. A decision is due to be announced shortly.

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

In #Galway in 1920 alone, the Black and Tans took a priest out of his house and shot him on a rural road, shot a pregnant woman holding a child at her front door, and dragged two brothers on the back of a truck through the streets of Gort until they died. "He saved Ireland"

How meningitis rash looks on Black skin 👇🏾 Take note because there is no mention of how it presents itself on Black people.

Seamus Culleton is an Irish national being held by ICE in Texas for nearly 6 months. He's lived in the U.S. for 20 years, is married to a U.S. citizen, has no criminal record, and was detained despite holding a valid work permit according to CBS News.

Why are people wishing Ireland happy birthday? It’s not?????

For those who would downplay our reputation internationally in relation to neutrality, contributions in the UN, our position on Gaza etc The mayor of the most important city in the West just gave a specific nod to Dunnes workers and their role in ending South African apartheid

This is Cherise Doyley. She was 12 hours into labor when a nurse told her to cover up with a bedsheet. Then a tablet appeared at her bedside. On the screen: a judge. Lawyers. Hospital staff. She hadn’t asked for a hearing. The hospital had. Doyley is a professional birthing doula. She refused a C-section — she’d had three before, and one left her hemorrhaging. She knew the risks. It didn’t matter. And here’s the part people should pay attention to. The state filed an emergency petition. She had minutes to prepare. No lawyer. No advocate. A three-hour hearing. In the middle of active labor. A judge decided how she would give birth. This is the fetal personhood movement, fully realized. And it’s already happening. To Black women. In Florida. Read the full @ProPublica investigation. “A judge decided how she would give birth. That’s legal right now. Should it be? #ReproductiveRights #DemsUnited

🚨HELLL YEAHH!! 💪🇺🇸Thomas Massie just revealed his nuclear option. If Pam Bondi’s DOJ refuses to unredact the Epstein client names — Massie will walk onto the House floor and read them publicly himself. Under congressional immunity. No prosecution. No injunction. No seal that can hold. The names would be in the Congressional Record forever. This is the same Massie that Trump is trying to primary “violently and miserably.” The same Massie who said from the House floor that the Speaker, AG, FBI Director, President and VP could have spared the party humiliation on Epstein months ago. The same Massie who has been the loudest voice demanding full release since day one. The Deputy AG admitted withholding footage of “death, physical abuse, and injury.” Half of 6 million documents remain sealed. Trump started a war the same week the names were supposed to drop. Bondi said “DOJ is done.” Massie said: then I’ll finish it. A prison guard who was there the night Epstein died testifies before Congress this month. The nuclear option is on the table. Never stop connecting the dots.

🚨 THIS IS AN ATROCITY: CNN: Cuba’s electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse. The first nationwide blackout since the US effectively CUT OFF Cuba’s oil supply. 11 million people. No power. No hospitals running on grid electricity. No refrigeration for medicine or food. No pumps for clean water. This is not a sanction. This is not a diplomatic pressure campaign. This is a siege. While Trump launches a war in the Middle East and announces plans to “take Cuba” — his administration has already been quietly strangling the island for months. Expelled Cuban doctors from the Caribbean. Cut off the oil. Now the lights are out for 11 million people. Lindsey Graham said Cuba is next. Trump said “I think I can do anything I want with it.” They didn’t need bombs. They turned off the lights. Never stop connecting the dots.

I hate when someone states their wrong opinion and everyone hates them and they’re held the tiniest bit accountable

.@FranceskAlbs: "precisely because this darkness is now so visible, the genocide sheds light on something essential. Who are those supporting this system, in govts, in the financial system, in universities, in media?"
