Mr Zelensky said Ireland chose to do the 'right thing' and has been on the side of supporting Ukrainians.
'We are grateful for that. The way I was brought up was that I can't criticise for help whether you're getting more or less, we should be grateful,' he said

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility.
So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned.
This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.

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

“Centrism” on any civil rights issue is merely a path to fascism.
Fascism isn’t possible without an army of Centrists telling 2nd class citizens to be content with 2nd class citizenry.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.
If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.
It's just a question of political will.

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms.
It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.
