If you ever wondered what you'd have done if you were alive during the 1940s and you'd known about the death camps, you're doing it right now.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.
Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

Incredible weak simpering fuckery from FFG as they cringe at the thought of standing up to infamous fascist provocateur and world's richest ket fiend, Elon Musk, in spite of laws against what XAi is doing. Welcome to Ireland, where people caught with a ten spot get in more trouble than CP peddlers.
This minister seems to believe that the State has no responsibility with regards to preventing a company, based here in Ireland, from providing the tools by which child sexual abuse material has been generated by its own paid subscribers. A truly bizarre thing to say.

I know an Austrian guy who looks *exactly* like that.
These are apparently facial reconstructions of a 2,300-year-old Pazyryk Scythian male and female from the same kurgan in Berel, Kazakhstan and not - as I first thought - that couple I met at a Spiral Tribe soundsystem in 1992 who sold me E that turned out to be paracetamol.

If there was a child porn factory down the road, it’d be closed immediately.
The Govt’s response wouldn’t be “hang on, they let us print flyers there too”.

ICE aren't police. They have no authority to other US citizens to comply with them. This is just heavily armed former high-school bullies and current fascists on a power trip assaulting people at gunpoint.
ICE ILLEGALLY assaulting MORE US citizens in North Carolina.

So despite all denial we're now openly facing up to failure on emissions targets and massive fines. The industry of spin through last year on denial on impact of data centres, nitrates etc and lack of media challenge on Government has failed our future #climate www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

I'm old enough to remember the helenlovejoyish screeching when GTA IV came out, decrying the damage it would do to decent society. I remember songs being banned from broadcast because of their lyrics. Where are those same harridans and poindexters to wail about Musk's free child-porn generator?
Just saw this in LinkedIn for anyone interested in looking into Grok's production of CSAM and non-consensual sexualised imagery.

I think we all know it would lead to no such thing.
I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.
But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

They sold themselves Sinclair's line for two generations. We're telling ourselves the same lie by not taking our homegrown (but foreign-funded) wannafascists and Bannon's syphilitic boating about "Irish Trump" seriously enough. The next high-profile one won't be as outwardly muppetish as McGregor.

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇
