To be clear. If you are Irish and you're out there spreading xenophobic bile, and shouting "go back to where you came from" to immigrants on the street, you've absolutely lost the run of yourself and should be ashamed. Remember where YOU came from, you pathetic gobshites. #dublin

Cop City Protesters Tried to Plant Trees. Atlanta Police Beat Them for It.

Organizers swore off violence, but the cops used their garden tools as an excuse to attack them anyway.

The Intercept
Trump is telling his followers that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the country. This is straight out of the Hitler playbook. It’s an open nod to white supremacy, and it has no place in our society. And he has threatened to round up 11 million undocumented immigrants. That means attacks upon whole communities. Raids in the night. No due process. We can’t let it happen again.

"We are already in uncharted territory. We are already experiencing a climate that we have never seen in our life or in our history."

Austrian Physicist Lise Meitner was born #OTD in 1878. She was the first to pinpoint the atomic phenomenon now known as the Auger effect, but it was credited to Pierre Auger who independently discovered it months after her. Years later when she made a breakthrough in identifying and understanding nuclear fission, her findings were published only under the name of her collaborator, Otto Hahn, who later also received the Nobel Prize for this discovery. via @IAEA
