British journalists failing to understand that Ireland won't fire unprovoked on a "suspicious ship" because that would be a criminal act and our military doesn't make a name for itself by shooting people who pose no threat to them in the back.
Despite these high stakes, Ireland has no dedicated intelligence agency, just four working navy vessels and the smallest defence budget in the EU. In fact, the only thing the Irish navy can do when it spots a suspicious ship lurking is say “hello”.

Christmas has come early for dozens of military families as Irish troops returned home from their peacekeeping tour of duty in Lebanon.
There were emotional scenes at Dublin Airport this morning as soldiers emerged into the arrivals hall after six months away.

Nina Cresswell reported a sexual assault, but the police basically ignored her. She spoke out, and her attacker sued her for defamation. Three years later, with our support, she won.

Just a heads up, but if you are at the point of authoritarian consolidation where the fascist paramilitary troops are destroying security cameras and evidence of their crimes, not just publicly, but in court as well, you are far past the point where this ends peacefully
If ICE has nothing to hide from its raid in San Antonio, why did they smash security cameras?
If authorities are so sure they arrested 51 members of Tren de Aragua, why can’t they offer proof? www.kens5.com/article/news...

The latest: 51 of 143 detained in major San Antonio raid are Tren de Aragua members, FBI says
The Nov. 16 raid in the area of San Pedro and Basse was the result of an investigation into a drug dealer, according to records.

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.
