Entirely predictable too. But also given the lack of identification, justification, etc, guaranteed that ICE agents commit crimes and abuses all the time too.

She’s Ireland’s third woman president. But I will say President of Ireland is a vastly different position than president of the US. The real head of the executive power here is the Taoiseach and we’ve not yet had a woman Taoiseach.

They’re gonna have to start doing these in front of Congress if we’re ever to believe any of it again.

It’s not a fantasy anymore. He’s making it real.

Yep. Everyone saying don’t give him advice but I just think the analysis is wrong. Speed is helping them. Everyone is just too stunned to move. The frog has been sitting in hot water for decades now and they’ve just tossed it right into the frying pan. It’s well and truly cooked.

lol. Is that a serious question?

Are the US still pretending they’re not a dictatorship?

The world needs to stop rewarding hate and bigotry. That’s actually not debatable.

2/ And you don’t play mind games with candidates, you don’t put them through 20 layers of bullshit, you don’t get them to do work for you for free supposedly as part of the interview process, then ghost them. And you don’t take shortcuts in judging people because that’s inherently discriminatory.

Or… let’s go back to normal hiring processes where you search CVs for those with the experience and/or education to do the job, then you interview them to find out if they fit your vision of what someone’s outlook and competency should be, then you hire the best one and they go through probation. 1/

They need to regulate this.

Yep. American democracy is dead. There has been opportunity after opportunity to save it. The last one was November 2024 and they fucked it up.

My understanding is the phrase may not be in the game but players on 4chan may be using it in memes or streamers may say it on Twitch. Or something. Frankly I just learnt what a “groyper” is yesterday and I do not want to make a deep dive into any of that. I’d like journalists to investigate.

You’re preaching to the choir here.

3/ I’ll note that’s actually also an issue with the Trump admin. Environmental and Health issues not only aren’t a priority for this regime, it’s like they’re hell bent on unleashing catastrophes of apocalyptic proportions on the planet and humanity as a species.

2/ But while we need massive coverage on the fascist takeover in the US, there are actually other crises in the world that need coverage and this is one of them. This microplastics issue is a matter of survival. You can’t act like that’s not important or urgent even if it is less immediately urgent.

Like I said in my comment: when do we worry about it then? Because there is always a more immediately pressing issue. I would understand you getting mad at them covering another celebrity breakup or doing yet another story on Biden’s health like he’s still in office. 1/
