Getting that Irish citizenship is looking better and better!

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Ahhhh... free speech zones are back.

Too slow. Only one side is playing by the norms.
It's been 8 years of this.

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

Words are good but they do not stop laws from being actively broken every day.
Arrests are better.

Panels from the Killing Joke. Gordon-- an actual institutionalist who really does believe in the norms-- insists the Batman follow the law. Regardless of whether justice is done or not.

Best case scenario for the feckless dems--

... but I am finding that pathetic excuse harder and harder to believe. The institutions have not held, we are in a crisis and it is time for @govpritzker.illinois.gov to stand up for us. Otherwise he is just another empty suit not ready for the times we live in. I'm disappointed--

We all knew this was coming-- why do the Dems not have legal strategies planned out well in advance? While Raoul is investigating options for prosecuting all the crimes of the last week, ICE will be committing dozens more.
The best case for Dems is that they are cowards who respect the norms...

@govpritzker.illinois.gov has been a horrible disappointment. When JB said ‘You come for my people, you come through me’ those were empty words. His office says he has the Ill AG looking into legal options that will hold up in court while every day more laws are broken and more people are hurt

Democratic Governors Have the Legal Authority to Arrest ICE Agents. They Should Use It. Even failed prosecutions would force federal agents to think twice before breaking down doors.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov --We know our rights, but you have to defend your state's rights. Start arresting these masked thugs-

"Federal agents are committing state felonies every day. Breaking and entering. Kidnapping. Assault."
"Democratic governors have the power to prosecute those crimes. …"

“Just wait and vote out the fascists”

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

The history teacher is going to be stuck on “why didn’t the Biden admin punish sedition and why was a seditionist even allowed to run for president again” for a long, long time…Americans stopped believing they had a functional government long before they started believing they had a fascist one

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.

is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

And what did ICE ever do to deserve violence? Nothin to no one

“I never thought federal officers could behave this way. I really didn’t,” she said. “I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong.”

Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reportedly Finds Trey Reed Didn’t Die by Suicide — Family Attorney Ben Crump Hasn’t Confirmed According to a source who isn't authorized to comment publicly, the autopsy of Trey Reed reveals that his death was not caused by a suicide.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Man I wish gerry conway was on here

@govpritzker.illinois.gov you said "You come for my people, you come through me"
They are coming for us. You need to stand up and break a few norms and get these bastards out of our state.

I know it can be a difficult decision for a good Democrat to break norms, but, governor, we need you to stand up with actual action.
Republicans are clearly NOT worried about breaking norms.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov @ltgovstratton.illinois.gov @ilattygeneral.bsky.social @housedemsil.bsky.social @ilsendems.bsky.social Please act! Under the TRUST Act, how are IL State Police allowed to assist federal agents and to arrest peaceful protesters?

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

This is just brutal. Oscar winners out of work for a year and a half. So many of my friends who have been constantly employed by the film industry for more than a decade are completely out of work - and resources. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Stephen Colbert - JD Vance Sombrero Meme

It's the best thing about the show. And I really like the show!

WTF is wrong with you?!?

The last 3 government shutdowns have been under Trump.

Trump caused this.

Every American should be outraged
Yesterday this traitorous POS called We the People "The Enemy Within"
then called on our military to VIOLATE #PosseComitatus & to wage war in our cities against US.
Join US & pledge to
STAND UP
SPEAK OUT
PEACEFULLY RESIST

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear
