Mary Robinson condemns US β€˜attacks on truth’ during women’s day rally Addressing an International Women’s Day rally in Belfast, she claimed the current United States administration is β€œflooding the atmosphere with lies”

β€œWe have an administration in the United States which is flooding the atmosphere with lies, not to be believed, but to confuse, that there is no truth.

β€œTruth is our relations with each other… we must flourish together. We must know there is strength in our solidarity through that solidarity.”

So this mystery cargo plane with no destination or departure listed, left Ramstein airbase a couple of hours ago and is brazenly breezing over Dublin….

But of course we are still neutral, even when it breezes back, fully laden with bombs to blow up more schools…

While Trump monetises war, Iran women’s team deliver great act of sporting heroism | Barney Ronay In refusing to sing the national anthem these athletes have placed themselves in grave danger while Gianni Infantio sides with the American war machine

"It is hard to overstate the bravery of this act of non-compliance. These women are in effect prisoners. They have no escape hatch, nowhere to hide from potential consequences."

πŸ—£οΈ "Cuba is in its last moments of life,"

Donald Trump has suggested the U.S. will focus on Cuba once the conflict with Iran ends.

Did we burn Bog Bodies to create electricity?

The gruesome answer seems to be, we did. Albeit not on purpose. #RTECountrywide

Targeting "groups of people" for death is generally frowned upon, but an obsession with ethnic cleansing is nothing new to Fascist America.

The Age of Kleptocracy Geopolitical Power, Private Gain

It’s kleptocracy.
Cooley & Nexon call it in @foreignaffairs.com. β€œUS foreign policy is now largely subordinate to the private interests of the president and his retainers.”
So? β€œStop … calling it realism, great-power competition, or mere transactionalism.”

Corporations base themselves here for the stability, predictability and favourable tax and legal regimes.

The rule of law underpins all that.

The same rule of law that is undermined by big powers who see themselves as answerable to no authority.

We enforce rules for a reason.

No, no, you see there is no greater arbiter of truth than the emigrant willing to criticise the country they come from, especially if that country is being bombed by the Americans. That’s in journalism 1.02.

This war's main mudflap is Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, a man who achieves the rare feat of being both eager to show off his hard muscles and yet somehow also personifying erectile dysfunction.

β€œEvery child killed is the greatest war crime in the world. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it, and no policy can force me to selectively condemn war crimes against children.

That children are killed by bombs in the 21st century is humanity's greatest defeat.”

Two years ago a previous Taoiseach jointly wrote with SΓ‘nchez to vdL trying to get EU action on Israel.
The letter was ignored.
