The mandate from the citizens of Limerick was clear. The mandate John Moran got from the citizens of Limerick for his mayoral programme was clear. The councillors have no mandate to frustrate the mayoral programme or undermine the office of mayor. www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Which would be least bad? That he knows he’s bulshitting but doesn’t care or that he doesn’t know this is bulshit.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on tariffs: "It's not regressive. Most consumption in America is done by the wealthiest people. So the idea it's somehow regressive is just wrong."

Rev. Jesse Jackson has died at 84.
No social media post could do justice to such a large and consequential life.
His 1988 speech to the Democratic National Convention is easily one of the most remarkable — and personal — political addresses you’ll ever hear.

Sesame Street was a great force for good. We didn’t even realise. Rest in power Jesse Jackson.
Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

She is supposed to be the intellectual of the institute. I think it’s fairly obvious in this quote that she never practised law. Something that could be written but never operate in the world in practice.
Maria Steen, she of the Holy Handbag, argues in the Times that we should introduce a form of marriage with "no possibility of divorce." Maybe she is too young to remember that we already tried this. It ended very badly for some - that's why we introduced divorce.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.
