Agree wholeheartedly with this assessment of the US But also standing in Dublin this is a familiar feeling *side eye east
The whole world is having to deal with the terrifying and expensive chaos caused by this country's temper tantrum, and then we have to hear them mytholigise themselves on top of it all. Just can't be fucking dealing with it.

The Department of Housing’s recently appointed housing tsar met with a lobbyist from the Collison brothers-backed Progress Ireland – but didn’t keep any records of the engagement. www.ontheditch.com/no-departmen...

This idea has not sprung forth from nowhere. I heard it from my mam and my sister years and years ago, long before you heard of such things as a social media pile-on. It’s my understanding that anyone educated in caring for others, by profession or practice, is familiar with the concept.

Let's all be clear on this. Jim OC was catapulted into a senior cabinet position with almost no political record or utterance behind him outside of internal FF fluff. He has proceeded to reveal.himself to be incapable as well as malicious in office, and it is about time Fianna Fáil pulled him out.
It makes me deeply uncomfortable that the Minister for Justice has used his Twitter account to create an online pile on of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre. It also appears to me a dangerous precedent that this minister, and his dept. have instructed the DRCC to remove content that he disapproved of.
Sean Canney told everyone in the country today that unless you are in a car, any time you leave your house you should be wearing a hi-vis vest. Think about that - every person on the street should be wearing the same item of clothing as directed by a govt minister www.thejournal.ie/driving-phon...

Hegseth’s staff broke Eisenhower’s globe. The symbolism is too much to bear. (And of course, they ignored the TRAINED EXPERTS WHO HANDLE HISTORICAL ITEMS. Because EDUCATION? EXPERTISE? WHO NEEDS IT?….im going to get some coffee…)
"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by curators. Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They dropped it...The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide." wapo.st/3WF2YQo

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.
The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

Drumcree was not just a ‘march’ it was an annual extended period of fear that threatened to destabilize the entire province and resulted in a significant number of deaths. No one should forget that the catalyst for the march being halted was the deaths of the Quinn boys in their firebombed home.
