In light of the DoJ's temporary offer of 10K to families if they agree to leave after an initial asylum refusal: “Voluntary” return schemes might be good for state – but not for asylum seekers, activists and academics say. Read more here: www.dublininquirer.com/voluntary-re...

“Voluntary” return schemes might be good for state – but not for asylum seekers, activists and academics say

They’re pressure campaigns and can lead people to make bad decisions, they say. But a Department of Justice spokesperson says they’re purely voluntary.

Legal help needed! Ugly Mugs Ireland is seeing an affordable legal professional who we can speak to about defamation. Just a chat. Not bringing a case. We have sought some quotes and the prices coming back are pretty unaffordable. Could you help? If maybe, please email us at [email protected]. TIA

Currently more bothered about some journalism award thing than someone whose paper doesn't qualify because it's not national. Possibly thinks his hate-filled X account should win all awards.

What depresses me about this reporting is that it will lead to no introspection and very little accountability. We have just moved past any sort of world in which shame matters, or decency matters.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

I'm sorry, but putting a non-white person to face Enoch Burke, knowing the whole thing would be filmed and posted on X, was grossly irresponsible.

Far-right X users who like saying "Orwelian" and "kafkaesque" should be forced to read ALL the books by the two authors and pass an exam on them.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

I'm not exactly sure Elon is the guy I'd want to take advice from regarding "the war on drugs" in San Francisco.

On the Campaign Trail, Elon Musk Juggled Drugs and Family Drama
As Mr. Musk entered President Trump’s orbit, his private life grew increasingly tumultuous and his drug use was more intense than previously known.

Here, while being mad at Wikipedia, he falsely claims Laura's name (a dead woman who can't defend herself) was "Ellen Hyland"; in reality, Hyland was an alias surname she'd used at 22, with the name Samantha, not Ellen. Is there any post on his page that's not false in one way or another
