The activist in the Áras: How Michael D Higgins shaped the presidency

What some criticise as an outspokenness overstepping the bounds of his office, others see as the outgoing President’s knack of speaking to ‘the beating heart’ of Irish public opinion

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

MTV is axing five channels at the end of the year in a move which will end the days of 24-hour rolling music video broadcasts in every country except the US.

So, today we’re wondering: Did you watch MTV music videos growing up?

i’ve seen enough. and by that i mean lots of evidence. If you’re running an account that uses phrases like “antifascist,” or anything in the vicinity, the FBI, the NYPD, it doesn’t really matter, it’s all the same thing now, you’re on a watchlist.

Great article by Colin Sheridan in yesterday's Irish Examiner. There must be an end to all of apartheid Israel's crimes against Palestinians, including the Occupied West Bank and in Gaza. There must be self determination, freedom, justice and equality for all Palestinians. #FreePalestine
