The story starts in 1920 on a day of murder in Dublin. A British spy is exposed and has to escape before she's caught. As the violence of the War of Independence peaks, one veteran rebel leader is asking himself how long he can go on.

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi once again violated the Constitution.
They’re wasting your tax dollars arresting journalists — while protecting pedophiles and the murderers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
That’s authoritarian bullshit.

Science and research are worth funding. This is cool!
GOOD NEWS! For the FIRST time ever, researchers have developed a targeted combination therapy that has successfully AND completely ELIMINATED KRAS-driven pancreatic tumors in experimental models. Tumors regressed COMPLETELY with NO recurrence OR major side effects. Let’s talk about that!

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.
