If you wanted to "clean up" social media, you could start by enforcing laws and regulations governing tech platforms. That would be messy, awkward, and might achieve something.
No, instead, this government is introducing new laws to monitor what citizens say and do online.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Your reminder that racism and fascism are inherently anti-democratic ideologies, and thus are owed nothing by democrats or democratic systems.
Under no circumstances do you have to "hear them out", nor should anything be changed to suit them. Ever.

A lot of the spoiled ballots I saw while tallying were very explicitly and forcibly racist. When the talking heads from Iona and Aontú say that FF and FG need to court their votes, that is who they are talking about.
The girls at the count centre were laughing at all your pathetic spoiled ballots, btw.

Mikeno is on Gaza waters and 20 or so ships are following, but Mikeno apparently sent a distress signal about 10 hours ago, so no one knows if it's actually boarded by IOF
there's no confirmation from anyone on board or on the flotilla yet, as rest of the boats are small
