This is one of the most haunting pieces of Troubles media Ive seen. Its not well known
Its the morning after a famous pogrom in Belfast. People responding to the violence when it was still fresh and shocking. No one is sure how to process it. Unaware how bad it would get and how long it would last.

i mean part of it is that labour got a huge landslide in terms of seats with like 34% of the vote but could get almost completely wiped out with 30% of the vote
properly nuts that Labour won a huge landslide 18 months ago and they’re already so desperate they’ve running with ‘the Greens want to sell your children heroin’

This may be the most brazen coverup in the history of the Troubles, and that’s a HIGH bar
Its so well known and well confirmed who this was that the newspaper can use his image for the article, he died years ago, but the 7 year £40M govt report on it can’t name him

Fun fact, the IRA had standardized bomb timing mechanisms which were devised by a Catholic priest turned IRA courier name Fr Patrick Ryan
He was also the Provisionals main representative to the Libyan government

The Irish should stop outsourcing their national defense to the UK
Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

In 1936 Forverts published a reader's letter about a trans man from his Ukrainian shtetl
Beyle was a gender nonconforming woman who left home, transitioned, and returned years later, now a "handsome, healthy, redheaded man" named Berel who soon "learned to daven and was in synagogue every day"

It does drive me insane how people say American food has corn syrup instead sugar due to subsidies. It’s still way more expensive than Brazilian cane sugar, which we protect our own sugar growers from lol

Wait how many of my followers already knew about this
AFAIK the IRAs biggest arms supplier (in raw tons of munitions) was Libya, not the US, but that seems less well known among online Americans
That’s how they got Semtex, which was nearly as much of a strategic game changer for them as the armalites

Idt Martin McGuinness was an informant in the usual sense, for money or to avoid prosecution. However he was without a doubt in secret contact with British intelligence that the IRA would have killed him for
The question of collusion between the IRA leadership and HMG remains an open one
