CSS text-box is newly baseline, and it's solves a common text layout issue. Here's how it works:

Witnesses of Ulm 5 trial in Germany speak out. Irish citizen Daniel Tatlow-Devally is subject to a show trial for taking action for Palestine. He is locked up 23 hours a day and only allowed to talk to family for an hour a month. Irish government must send observers.
So much to love about Pico waving the Irish flag, not least that he, a proud Irishman of African heritage and as Dublin as can be, embodies the kind of Irishness that the far right can't abide but is a thriving feature in communities across the island.
10 years ago, days before the Brexit referendum. There was a deadly terrorist attack in Britain. Afterwards, nothing happened and very few people today will refer to what happened by its name. 1/

Sick of "legitimate concerns". "I'm scared of black people" isn't a "legitimate," it's just racism. "LGBT people make me irrationally angry" isn't "legitimate," you just fear difference. It's not legitimate to wish you lived in a country with only people who are exactly like you.

You can probably support the working class and demand support for people who are struggling because of capitalist inequality and also not pretend massively bigoted rhetoric and action isn't happening or being Trojan-horsed in under the guise of taking down those in power, by the way. Just a thought.

I vote we send the taoiseach to visit the Choctaw Nation every St Patrick's Day instead of the White House
[sad beep] acerbic otter@acerbicotter.bsky.social · 6mo agothe Choctaw Nation here is doing a St. Paddy's Day thing because they have links/friendship with Ireland (they sent help during the Famine). I think that's cool. I just like that those two nations have a friendship bond over that that's lasted almost 200 years at this point.
That match did more for Anglo-Irish relations than the Good Friday Agreement.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
