Julia Hartley-Brewer: Why is colonialism bad?

Me: “When Britain arrived in 1700s, India had 27% of global GDP. After 200 years of theft and millions starved to death, by 1947 India had 3% of global GDP, 90% living below the poverty line, a literacy rate of 17% and life expectancy of 27”

Flight ban for these arseholes. Why should they be allowed to go to other countries if they abuse people from other countries who are here?
Leaving Dublin now.
In the departure terminal in one of the shops, I heard a man verbally and xenophobically abusing airport young worker at the till. I told him to stop, he came at me asking what my problem was, backed down, and left.
If you can and you think it's safe, speak up.
No pasarán.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

America will have SO much mortifying shit to live down when this wanton stupidity is finally over.
SCOOP: The Trump administration may revoke the visas of critics of Elon Musk's Twitter.

The move would mark one of the admin's first attempts to revoke the visas of people they deem to be engaging in the “censorship” of Americans.

Holy moly, the scam callers must have some kind of pre-Christmas quota to meet. An absolute shit-ton of rando UK and France numbers over the last two days.

MAGAts whose livelihoods depend on tourism should probably reconsider where their loyalties lie. Senile Satan won't give you food stamps.
This is an insane account of the experience of trying to enter the US.
This is almost exactly what my friend said! "I'm here because I have no choice; nobody else I work with wanted to come here."

We were quizzed on our jobs and incomes, our status as self-employed people, our families back home, and asked to show evidence of how we'd support ourselves for 5 weeks.

If you're on Insta or YouTube, give @IrishMammyCooks a follow. Her recipe for Orange & Cranberry relish is simplicity itself, and incredibly delicious and fragrant.

It's #BandcampFriday, meaning that if you buy a download there, the artist gets 100% of the price. In this case, The Stephen Moylan Foundation gets the much needed moolah.

I tell ya, these fellas are lucky they didn't ever travel by small boat. Otherwise the intrepid Secretary of Fog-of-War woulda blown them to smithereens (and made Admiral Bradley follow up with one-more-for-luck shots).
Trump has pardoned:
(1) A former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking
(2) Ross Ulbricht, who operated Silk Road, the dark web marketplace where illegal drugs were sold
(3) Binance founder Zhao who failed to stop criminals from using Binance to move money tied to drug trafficking. 1/

It's officially December now, so I'm shamelessly pushing my #Christmas single, "What You Wanted (For Christmas)"

All proceeds go to #TheStephenMoylanFoundation.

I hijacked this ad for Norway's Post Office as a video - which, luckily, supports the narrative. 🌲🎅

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.
