Irish folks, this problem isn't just "over there" - w/ the 45% of Republican voters who were OK with this, a president and elected reps who called for it, police who facilitated it and media who are busy spinning it.
The far right is here too.
And Co. Clare holds a particular place in Trump's heart (and US military transport).
We are this.
They have convictions for violence, they work w/ loyalists, UK and Euro fascists, they assault ppl and call for violence.
But you don't listen.
Anything rather than listen to ppl who actually know about it.
It's also true the far right and racists have won power in Poland, Hungary, India, Brazil, the US...
Irish MEPs voted to let ppl drown in the Mediterranean.
Co Councils consistently fail to live up to their legal obligations on Traveller housing.
And George Nkencho is dead.
Can you notice any of this?
... and more attention to ppl who actually know about challenging racism and resisting fascism?
These are the times in which you discover what you would *actually* have done in the 1930s and 1940s.
It is whatever you are doing and saying today.
What are you doing today?

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.
Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.
I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.
But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.
Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.
I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

The strange thing about the fight to displace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House is that no one seems willing to run against her. https://t.co/VhBqf4KJom

Ruben Verastigui is (allegedly) a horrifying pedo monster and has been on the digital teams for the @SenateGOP, National @GOP and the Trump campaign. I didn't want to talk about him, but I think it's important.
The allegations against RV are among the most horrifying I have read. It involves possessing and sharing images of rape of infants and plans to take action in the real world of that nature. I don't really recommend reading the details, but they are here.
These allegations were first brought to light by @jaredlholt who has an excellent thread. He warns people that they may want to avoid the end of the thread because it includes shots of the specific allegations. I make the same warning.
RV was a main stage speaker at the 2013 March For Life.
RV did a headshot for Ronna McDaniel, GOP Chairwoman

NEW: D.C. Police arrested Ruben Verastigui -- a former "senior digital strategist" for the Senate Republican Conference -- on charges of distribution of child pornography resulting from a time span that allegedly included his time at the SRC.
