Numbers alone are not enough of course. Organisation is decisive. Keeping key organisations onside is something these lads understand very well.

"Of nearly 200 nations in the world, 125 have signed the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and are subject to its rulings. The United States never ratified the treaty establishing the institution, and both it and Israel are among those that are not bound by the statute" No surprise!

May 2025: The ICC specifically asked the EU to activate its Blocking statute, which would protect judges from the effects of US sanctions *within the EU*. The EU still refuses.

UPDATE: After hearing from friends in the DMs, we’re gonna make this a cohosted gathering. So after my censored remarks, we’ll hear about people actually doing the work that so many of our institutions pretend to. If your org wants to cohost, DM me.

You cannot leave prison without a documented place to stay, a job or rehabilitation program lined up, and someone to come and pick you up. There was one woman we met who was there for 2 EXTRA years at the state prison cause she had no living family and simply couldnt get a ride

A four-post thread from Kaja Kallas on US sanctions against the ICC. The United States is mentioned once. Trump is never named. No direct condemnation, no concrete countermeasures. A remarkable linguistic performance in avoiding confrontation. This is how low European diplomacy has sunk.

In July 2025, the cross-party Oireachtas Committee on Defence and Security recommended that the Govt explore ways Ireland could help defend the ICC. If the Govt has done anything to help the Court Irish people endorsed in a referendum 25 years ago, it hasn't publicised the fact. Unlike Norway.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1977: A millionaire Harvard lawyer spends eight hours shoveling horse manure in Ocala, Fla. He called it a campaign strategy. Floridians called him their next Governor. His name was Bob Graham, and he soon became one of the nation’s most respected politicians. /1
Florida State Senator Bob Graham works as a “pooper scooper” at Ocala Breeders’ Sales, Oct. 9, 1977. Graham worked for 100 days at different jobs around the state during his first campaign for Governor. The Workdays concept began by chance in 1974 while Graham was serving in the Florida State Senate. As Chairman of the Education Committee, he openly criticized the quality of civic education in Florida schools. A frustrated high school teacher, Sue Reilly, dared him to try teaching a class himself. Graham accepted the challenge and spent a semester teaching civics at Carol City High School. He later designated this experience as his official “Workday #1,” and used it to make funding for school construction a top legislative priority. He realized that immersion was the most effective way to understand the reality of his constituents’ lives and translate that into political action. The Workdays program became a signature strategy throughout Graham’s political career.

The ICC: “It is an attempt to obstruct the course of justice and to prevent the court from doing what it was created to do. “It is an assault on the rule of law and on the very foundations of the international legal order which strikes at the simple principle that no-one stands above the law.”

The language used is often that of European centre-right parties who frame their rightward drift as a response to electoral pressure, you'll hear Jim O'Callaghan or whoever saying "the voters want stricter immigration policy" and it's like...do you mean the voters in...France?

And tbh I think that's a lot of what's happening! FG and FF feel a strong compulsion to imitate political trends in Europe even when there is no significant constituency or policy need for them in Ireland. The justifications are always very vague. It's the same on abolishing the Triple Lock
