important article on the power of big tech on small countries like Ireland as a way of influenicing supranational politics - in whose interest is the current form of nationalism working ? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Ireland is big tech’s lapdog – and that compromises its EU presidency | Johnny Ryan
The country is dependent on the global giants that call Dublin home. Irish ministers can’t be trusted to chair vital European digital sovereignty talks, says Irish civil liberties campaigner Johnny Ry...

‘Populism’: we used to know what it meant. Now the defining word of our era has lost its meaning | Oliver Eagleton
In the 2010s it described an insurgent rhetorical style; in the 2020s it is inadequate to account for the wildly diverging fates of the left and right, says Oliver Eagleton, managing editor of Phenome...

You may not sympathise with the Elbit four’s methods. But you should be outraged by their treatment under the law | Geoffrey Robertson
The jurors who found the pro-Palestine activists guilty of criminal damage had no idea their verdict would be treated as a verdict on terrorism, says Geoffrey Robertson KC

This should be a national scandal & a day of shame for the UK. The government is using AI technology that they know is unreliable & which has “baked-in racial bias”. And why are they so determined to use this AI? To try and deport more asylum seeking children. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
Home Office knew AI age checks for migrants were flawed — but rolled it out anyway
Exclusive: Government advisors describe the tool as ‘hideously flawed’ amid concern facial age estimation has ‘baked-in racial bias’ — and can wrongly identify a 14-year-old as an adult

We are 91 years on from the 1935 Belfast pogroms. Brutality that echoes throughout our history. [1/7]

How the Dangerous Rise in Anti-Immigration Politics Went Mainstream
Violent unrest after a stabbing in Northern Ireland showed the extent to which the far right has taken hold in the U.K., as well as in Europe and the U.S.

Absolutely huge crowds in Belfast to reject the far-right, paramilitarism, racism and border violence. A loud message to the politicians who pandered to violent paramilitary groups this week
United Against Racism Belfast have called this very important rally in Belfast on Saturday 13 June. Keep your diary free. No to racist pogroms. All out.
Nakazibwe said: “I understand there are good people out there; the people who are actually rioting do not represent the whole community … just as the immigrant who really did that [attack], does not represent all of us.” However, today, she said: “I wouldn’t go out, for safety, it’s not safe.”
Luke Butterly@lukejbutterly.bsky.social · 2mo agoFor four hours, two Ugandan care workers, Sumayah Nakazibwe and Stella Ariokot, were barricaded into their house near Crumlin Road, north Belfast, as smoke leaked in, and flames licked the walls of neighbouring properties.
📆 This Tuesday! Join the launch of Detention & Deportation in Europe. Spanning carceral border regimes & interspersed with poetic reflections, the book is a radical critique of detention and deportation systems. @drtdegenhardt.bsky.social @bupjournals.bsky.social www.law.ox.ac.uk/content/even...
This should sound alarm bells. The far-right are pushing pogroms on multiple fronts including Coleraine and Rathcoole. PSNI have done nothing to enforce laws to protect minorities: It seems that the Telecommunications Act 1984, Public Order Act 1987 and Terrorism Act 2000 aren’t for everyone.
