One thing all Democrats running in 2026 and 2028 should be explicit about is a promise that regardless of pardons, the crimes committed by everyone in this administration will be investigated and published.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

Sorry but we literally debunked this like last month when he did this dog whistle. Fintan O'Toole literally did the maths, in the Times no less, that showed that this isn't true.
Why are we bothering to publish such an obvious lie when we know it's a lie?

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

often when i listen to the irish times politics podcast (masochism) i hear them frame the housing crisis as somehow linked to immigration, too
the housing crisis is one of ff&fg for *decades* treating houses as investments for the rich to squeeze money from, not homes for people to comfortably live

Once again, if you believe that FF&FG would only love to give us a well-resourced, world beating welfare state but it’s just those pesky immigrants won’t let them, you are a gobshite. You have a loyalty card with your local bridge salesman. You were, in fact, born yesterday.

I'm seeing a lot of "Luigi Mangione might be innocent" takes and I just want to remind you that legally, he IS innocent. Literally every person charged with a crime is legally innocent until and unless a judge or jury finds them guilty. It's not that they MIGHT be innocent. They simply are.

people who have been criminalised in the uk for their action for palestine are in hunger strike week number 5+ and at high risk for their health. The UK government is pretending not to know about them and refusing to talk to them. Please share to increase visibility and pressure.
The hunger strikes have been hospitalised. The UK government continues to even deny their existence.
A reminder that these people protested Elbit system, whose drones killed 3 British aid workers in Gaza.

In Lebanon. Can hear the Israeli drone constantly now. I’ve only been back for a day but folks here deal with it 24/7, for months. It’s psychological torture. You can even see it, just flying around. The Israelis want to let everyone know that they can kill whoever they want whenever they want.
