We really should let Steve Bannon know that Ireland is so woke, that we have an entire year in school devoted to transitioning.

Can we not send the Taoiseach to Canada for St Patrick's day to this son of Mayo instead of the orange one in Washington? #Speirgorm #Speirghorm
For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the ‘rules-based international order.’

That order is not coming back, but from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just.

This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Gleninagh Castle • The Burren • County Clare

This towerhouse was built by the O’Loughlins who called themselves the ‘Princes of the Burren’.

When it was originally rendered and whitewashed, it would have made a distinctive landmark on the grey rocky shore of the Burren.

Yesterday @mayocountycouncil.bsky.social passed a motion demanding that the government of #Ireland pass the #OTB without delay, including both goods AND SERVICES.

This is the bare minimum our government can do to uphold international law.

We commend Mayo Co. Co. for standing with humanity.

Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?
