If you're willing to discuss your involvement with the anti-immigrant movement in Ireland my DMs are open @desilva_frank. Or email me: aoh at salon dot com.
You know, I can take or leave Gaelic, I enjoy it, it's fine. But virtually nothing in any sport can match the All-Ireland hurling final. #gaa#CorkvClare
I say this from a (moderately) compromised position, but very few media outlets have the freedom to ignore issues like page views & "monetization" -- and the last few years have seen numerous independent outlets collapse or contract.
@moorehn Of course I should not be completely cynical about this! It's historic. But as I'm sure you know, Macron is desperately trying to stop the bleeding on his left, which has already undermined his government

@tomwatson Don't see a difference, but I'm aware we have divergent perspectives. I'll simply say that there's no demonstrable connection between primary votes and general election votes, and that attempts to enforce unanimity and punish dissent have consistently backfired on Democrats

When Republicans argue they just want to be “left alone” what they mean is they want all the people who offend them to go away. The ‘offense’ is existing.
“So, if you don't control education, you cannot control the future. And Stalin knew that, Mao knew that, Hitler knew that. We have to get that back for conservative values."
Putin has outdone himself: He dared compare Prigozhin to Lenin, making the absurd comparison of Wagner's mutiny to the Bolsheviks' principled stance against the inhuman WW1. A reminder to leftists who erred into tolerating Putin: He always hated the Left!
