I have difficulty following what she is saying and when her and Phil talk over each other it’s really hard. Women’s cycling coverage deserves so much better than two people watching from overseas.

Sickening. The government must legislate to tackle the ongoing holding, display and collection of human remains acquired through enslavement and colonisation.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh… Part of my journey to the Murphy side of the family tree in County Kilkenny just outside of Waterford. My 4th great-grand-father Patrick Murphy married Catherine Ivery in 1791, and they would go on to have 4 children baptized in the same parish in Slieverue. 🇮🇪☘️

Yes, a lot of it has to do with messaging, demographics, voter suppression tactics and the age-old Republican long-game of ginning up social issues to get folks voting against their own broader interests.

My feeling here in Port Láirge is everyone sort of collectively holding their breath. I’m being peppered by questions of what’s wrong with the people who voted for Trump while I’m here. Working on my Irish citizenship…

“Fhalla na cathrach mean aoisigh”- the Irish for medieval city wall. And the walls do talk if you are an archaeologist. Waterford, also the “birthplace”of the Irish flag?? Or is this mythology? 🤔 🇮🇪

I’m here in Kansas and have known the story. I have worked with Choctaw citizens here, and I have Irish heritage. One side of my family comes from near Waterford. Guess where I’m headed next week?? Expect pictures from the “Kindred Spirits” sculpture near Cork!

Today - the news that Haskell Indian Nations University here in Kansas has been impacted by Trump’s cuts. Isn’t this a treaty violation? Tonight - I am struck by Joy Harjo’s poem in a new way … “by the authority of a piece of paper” theindianleader.com/2025/02/14/h...

It’s that time of year again, where normalized synchronized racism on our Sunday’s takes to the global stage for another Super Bowl. I encourage you to read this statement and reflect: notinourhonor.com/2025/02/08/s... #StopTheChop

Never settlersplain to me about #stopthechop when every settler can afford to pay $13,000 a seat to attend the superbowl. When that 13k could be going to landback, reparations, mutual aid.

Every sports game with Native names/mascots is a genocide reenactment, because no matter who wins or loses you are wearing our identity and cultures for entertainment on stolen land. #SuperBowl #SuperBowl2024 #Chiefs #StopTheChop #ChangeTheName
