The irony of a woman named Hernandez crying about Spanish while riding in an immigrant's car, using Uber, which was co-founded by an immigrant, on a phone that was developed mostly by immigrant software engineers to tweet on an app that was purchased by an immigrant.

In May 1945 an Irish newspaper reported Eamon de Valera expressed 'condolences on the death of Hitler'
It created a firestorm
How did Ireland's Jewish community react?
They planted the Éamon de Valera Forest near Nazareth, Israel in 1966
How do we explain this dichotomy? (1)

CBS: “Is there a ‘white genocide’ in South Africa?”
SOUTH AFRICAN ACADEMIC: “No. No sign of it. Never has been. If you’re white, SA is the land of milk & honey.”
@pietcroucamp says white wing fringe groups boast of access to Trump.

Here’s South African billionaire and the country’s richest man, Johann Peter Rupert, telling Donald Trump that there is no white genocide in South Africa- to his face in the Oval Office.
Enjoy.

When Senator Hassan (D-NH) asks Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem what habeas corpus - one of the most fundamental rights we have - is, Noem incorrectly describes it as a right that the President of the United States has to deport people.

Gript was founded by the anti-choice Life Institute / Youth Defense.
They donated (the max allowed) €18,000 to right-wing ECR parties.
They grift for donations, while refusing to release their finances.

If you want to live in Spain, you should speak Spanish. That’s common sense.
That's why we’re deporting all the Brits from Benidorm.

This is probably one of the best speeches in committee I have EVER heard.
We often hear passionate emotional speeches and I applaud that, but this is a forensic dismantling of a woman who arrogantly thinks she and the administration she belongs to are above the law. THEY ARE NOT.
Kristi Noem attended the hearing intent on being obstructive and dismissive and Chris Murphy gave her a masterclass in the constitutional responsibilities of government. I salute you sir.

Does Micheál Martin really think that being Belfast Irish (as I am) is of lesser value than being say Dublin Irish?
I think I deserve the same rights & respect as Martin enjoys.
My rights as an Irish person under British rule are less & the GFA was supposed to fix this.

Leaving MAGA was one of the most difficult decisions of my life. I allowed myself to believe, and act upon, Trump's and the GOP's lies. Furthermore, the prospects of walking away from a community and second family begot a personal tumult and turmoil; it took me a year to finally leave MAGA.
I implore everyone to show grace to any Trump voter who expresses remorse, and is willing to make amends for past actions and rhetoric that may have hurt others.

Dev was right. History has taught us that when it comes to Britain's national interest Ireland is to be courted or dispensed with on a whim. This was proved most recently with Brexit. We have only been truly independent since our entry to the EU.

This headline is a little misleading. Irish support for EU membership still stands at 82%. It is not surprising that it has dipped from the extraordinary level it reached during the EU-UK #Brexit negotiations which starkly highlighted the value of EU membership.
Support for Ireland's membership of the European Union has dropped to its lowest level in more than a decade, a new poll suggests rte.ie/news/2025/0508/151163…
