Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve.
I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

The people in the US who are taking on ICE in their neighbourhoods and physically defending other people....
I just love them.
Chicago, New York, everywhere. I think they're amazing and what everyone should be doing.

Funny how the rioting crowds in CityWest haven’t staged any protests of any kind over, say, the Irish guy just sentenced to 24 years for stabbing his girlfriend 50 times and causing life altering injuries including blindness in one eye with piece of knife still stuck in her skull

All eyes on Gaza, and tonight on the Global Sumud Flotilla. They will no doubt be attacked soon.
Israel's genocide has destroyed more than we can ever understand, but the hope and solidarity that the boats to Gaza represent are extraordinary. And so too are the survivors in Gaza waiting for them.

The #GlobalSumudFlotilla was attacked by Israel in international waters. Multiple boats reported attacks by drones.
Contact the Irish government. Demand they send an observer to the flotilla.
While the flotilla continues, Israel continues to bomb Gaza around the clock.

But anyone who can even pose *or* publish such a question while there is a current excavation of the bodies of babies dumped by nuns in a septic tank has a huge issue with accepting historical truth.
