Apart from anything else, the "Lincoln bathroom" wasn't Lincoln's bathroom. It was Lincoln's office and cabinet room.
It wasn't renovated in the 1940s, it was installed in the 1940s.

Rubio nominated her.
Nobel Peace Prize goes to:
Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado — for her defense of democracy in the face of a repressive, authoritarian regime.
Amongst those who nominated her: Marco Rubio, the current US Secretary of State (letter sent in Aug 2024).

Ben Gvir, the fascist Israeli minister sanctioned by multiple western nations, mocking the abducted flotilla participants, calling them terrorists to their faces as they are forced to sit on the floor.

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

350,000 Irish people were forcibly deported from Britain to Ireland between 1819 and the early decades of the 20th century.
Many worked their entire lives to build Britain and ultimately when they needed workhouse support, they were deported to a place they hadn’t known for decades. [1/3]

A conversation with friends living in different European countries recently, reflecting on US politics
… a disbelief shared between us, that a country that has been a background in our entire lives has descended into chaos, fascism, and oppression, applauded by its many of its citizens

Goed gedocumenteerde analyse met conclusie: Fascism has come to America.
“The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed.”

Israel's engineered famine in Gaza is only the latest episode in a long and dark history, from Ireland to north America, of colonial regimes using enforced starvation as a weapon of war against Indigenous peoples, to drive them out and steal their lands.

Niall O'Hara the bigot behind the 'Real News Eire' account on Twitter shared a video claiming to be from a 'political analyst from UAE' speaking about the Muslim Brotherhood in Ireland. I asked Grok if it was AI generated. Guess what?!

In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million.
157 years later, Russia owns the White House, and they didn't fork out a single dime.

No words but then again having seen so many examples of KAT (kill all Taigs) effigies with nooses around their necks and effigies of the Virgin Mary on their bonfires we shouldn’t be surprised. Doesn’t make it any less shocking.
Models of migrants in a boat have been placed on a loyalist bonfire in Co Tyrone, prompting condemnation and calls for the display to be removed ahead of the pyre being lit
