Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was โ€œbeneath the men and women of ICE.โ€

This week, itโ€™s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Hi everyone! I'm currently looking for participants for interviews for my PhD research. I'm working on the history of the LGBT+ community in rural Ireland, the way being in rural Ireland impacted the community and how the community impacted rural Ireland, 1970-2000.

If you're interested, please email e.gallogly1@universityofgalway.ie or DM me and we can arrange an interview!

Also obviously fuck him for being transphobic, but can we stop rewarding literally incorrect historians peddling misinformation and then taking it away for a reason TOTALLY UNRELATED to the history and misinformation?

And I'm so sick of him almost getting historical awards and his transphobia being the reason he doesn't get them.

He threw a fit when multiple Holocaust museums requested schools not teach the Boy in Striped Pyjamas as fact. HE SHOULDN'T GET A HISTORICAL AWARD BECAUSE HE'S A SHIT HISTORIAN.

For the sake of my own peace of mind:

Stop considering John Boyne for historical awards. He's not a historian. He's a (relatively conservative) fiction writer with an interest in history who occasionally writes decent historical fiction. Stop considering him as more than an author.

A Democrat lawmaker, her husband and her dog were shot to death like a month ago by a right wing extremist and none of these people clutching pearls gave a fuck.

I'm not living in fear of racist white men who would shit themselves if they were alone in a room full of Black people.

Irish identity is, and always has been, multifaceted, and the struggle for Irish freedom was specifically placed in the context of broader human rights and freedom for all as far back as Daniel O'Connell.

Also, while I'm at it, the IFP and Aontรบ have the same delulu view of Irishness and what it means to be Irish as the "plastic Paddies" they revile - white, cishet, able bodied, neurotypical, red-haired, lilting voiced caricatures.

This is your reminder that no-fault divorces were legislated for to protect the lives of abusive men, not victims of abuse.

But also the young SW Community especially in 80s Dublin was TERRIBLE so????

Ireland is exposed as Maga right attempts to take on Big Tech regulation Concerns are growing that EU officials regulating Big Tech could face US visa bans

Hey, remember when American lobby organisations had to be restricted on socials in Ireland because they were spreading so much misinformation about the 2015 Marriage Referendum and 2018 Repeal the 8th? Cause I do, and it's something I teach my students in history
