Once again, any US politician whose policy platform wouldn't send this man fleeing to Israel or putting a gun in his mouth is simply not worth voting for
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Eight times more prosecutions of republican paramilitary displays than loyalist

The figures have emerged amid renewed debate over how laws on paramilitary symbols are enforced, as the PSNI said it cannot be seen to police “more for one side than the other”

We need to shut this airport down until the Irish government stops this shit and it is well within our collective ability to do so.
BREAKING: An ICE flight just refueled in Ireland again. A local activist pressed police to investigate for human trafficking; the plane took off 30 minutes ago.

Plus, that MAGA billionaire's jet did another ICE flight, this time to Sierra Leone.

Each week that Palestine Action remains proscribed, a few dozen (of the more than 2700 people arrested) are summoned to plea hearings.

Some don’t attend, some refuse to plea, and some make speeches.

None have pleaded guilty.

Does anyone know when Turning Point's event in NI will be so I can put my drawing lessons to work on a big Charlie Kirk placard with a very specifically placed hole cut out of it
Failed and disgraced ex-MP Ian Paisley Jr wants a N. Ireland branch of Turning Point USA. Turning Point UK have embraced 'unapologetic street fascism'. This article shows exactly who an NI Turning Point would target and by what means. Erica Kirk, TP USA and their far-right ideology are not welcome.

watching hundreds of democrats on here SUDDENLY shocked by the thermobaric bombs dropped in Gaza, things that Palestinians have told us were happening for 2 YEARS,
