An IPAS centre burnt out with fireworks thrown into it - women and children lucky to get out alive - when are we going to start taking the far right violence in Ireland seriously?
It's been like watching the world's slowest train crash. For 5 years.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

That type of Irish-American who'll tell you their 'people fled the potato famine" - then add 'but they came legally!'
Thanks, Erin and Shawn. But the first federal controls? The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 (sounds kinda specific)
So, no - they didn't.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

One of the astonishing aspects of our times is that once-progressive parties are rushing us towards dystopia almost as fast as the far right is. This week's column is about what we might now face and how to contest it.

Palestine Action isn’t a danger to British democracy – but this repressive government is | George Monbiot
With their illiberal attitudes and ever more draconian use of technology to crack down on protest, it is ministers who now imperil our rights, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Just dropped in to say that the BBC choosing not to broadcast @kneecapceol.bsky.social live from #Glastonbury is very much NOT an indicator of their impartiality - in fact, it's the exact opposite. They're telling you which side they've picked.

Ok, I get the message about why Iran should never have nuclear weapons but I have to say, I'm remarkably uncomfortable with all the rest of the f**kers out there that do have them - most of whom have not proved themselves trustworthy either!!

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Sickened to see the amount of people the far right rounded out today. I don't know the exact figure but they filled the street completely all the way across from the Hugh Lane to the lower side of the Gresham hotel. Please do not ignore this, it's their biggest showing yet.Push back however you can.
