Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

Luke O’Neill: US science is under attack – the rest of the world will suffer the consequences
Lately, when I meet scientists from the US, the main topic of conversation is how the Trump administration is attacking science. They fear for their jobs and the ability to fund their research.

NYT: “The White House did not comment on why the group had altered the contracts data or why it’s now harder for the public to scrutinize it.”

The *savings* have been changed and altered — and are nowhere near what @MarshaBlackburn claims they are.

Blown away by this erudite book by @valentimvicente.bsky.social 🤯 An exceptional combination of theoretical sophistication and empirical breadth and depth.

His theory of normalization not just helps explain recent rise of far right but also warns for overestimating strength of democracy.

Moscow has made clear that it doesn’t plan to negotiate in any meaningful sense.

Instead, Russia seeks approval for its occupation and ethnic cleansing.

Analysis: If Ukraine is sacrificed to the Russian dictatorship, no country in the region is safe
Donnacha Ó Beacháin says Russia’s main game is imperial dominance, and the problem with imperial appetites is, they tend to grow with the eating.

A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
