Even after we deal with Trump, we'll be cleaning up the mess he created for decades. Once you mainstream bigotry, it takes a long time and a lot of work to make it shameful again.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

More Irish activists have now been taken by the IDF from international waters including author Naoise Dolan, TD Barry Heneghan and psychiatrist Veronica O’Keane.

They are part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like β€œ10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).”

Israel has dropped 200,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 20 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey.

Nothing about this emergency motion or the Irish citizens detained by Israeli forces on @news.rte.ie website.
Yet, plenty about Taylor Swift's new album and an upcoming documentary on Tony Cascarino.

ILLEGALLY seized in international waters.
This language is factually accurate and not in the least controversial.
Stop giving Israel a pass.

"Israel illegally detains humanitarians in international waters" is how this headline should start. "Stopped 13 boats" makes it sound like an innocuous garda checkpoint for road tax and insurance, particularly as 9 Irish citizens are among those detained. #speirgorm

Kieran Cuddihy cutting across the candidates is most annoying and unhelpful.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
