It occurs me that there is a well known acronym for the Great Lakes, and Trump is attempting to make a HAMES of it

Usually I share some kind of snarky, pithy quote from my column here in the hopes that people will read it and share it or whatever but this week there really isn't one that does that kind of job. It's a column about the cruelty in our midst.

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Séamas O’Reilly: Ballymena violence is the result of politics based on scapegoating any ‘other’
"The central perversity of treating these people as anything other than racist thugs is only more transparent in Ballymena because they have so few migrants that any other excuse is patently absurd."

What N. Ireland is experiencing right now is a form of state media censorhip to cover up the overwhelming level of paramilitary involvement in the far-right, white supremacist riots that have swept the North. While cameras and narratives focus on the 'youths' - the men in the shadows .. [1/n]

New Gist: Trans rights are Data rights An unusually long Gist on the data protection implications of the UK Supreme Court's decision to define what is the meaning of the word 'woman' in a single UK Act. (Also: the CJEU, colonialism, Joyce's Ulysses and Sinn Féin) www.thegist.ie/the-gist-tra...

The Gist: Trans rights are Data rights
A UK court has made a decision defining genders which has put it at odds with a less noticed, more important, decision from the CJEU. This is the Gist.
