C’mere to me, if Mothers Against Genocide had actually wanted the Govt to enact the Occupied Territories Bill then they should’ve stuck to the democratic process and gotten Stephen Graham to star in a Netflix drama about the Bill. Amirite.

All of these articles should be seen as a kind of misinformation, a symptom of elite insularity, fragility and class anxiety. Every time they warned us about the 'new McCarthyism,' they missed an opportunity to point out how the same old McCarthyism was growing and radicalizing under our noses.

By 2030, DCs will account for 30% of electricity on the grid. No other country comes close to that.
This kind of media commentary just normalises the fact that Ireland is a pollution sink/cheap energy source for big tech.

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps.
This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]
