If the Second Amendment does not apply to this exact kind of moment, what do people think it is for?
A citizen can lawfully carry, see masked federal agents beating someone in public, move toward the scene to help, and then get erased with a hail of bullets because “he had a gun.”
That excuse is an insult in a country where possession is legal by design, where the whole point is that the public never becomes a disarmed audience watching state power operate with impunity.
I’m not interested in arguing frame-by-frame footage. I’m interested in the principle that a free people cannot accept a standard where lawful carry becomes a death sentence the second authority feels threatened.
If that is the standard, then the 2nd Amendment has been reduced to a vibe. The founders did not write it so Republicans could do militia cosplay on weekends.
A bit concerning that I can clearly make out what the old Kerry man is saying!
Authorities in Kerry say the disposal of a 75 foot whale that has washed up on a beach near Baile an Sceilg is a major challenge. The fin whale - which is the second largest mammal on the planet – washed ashore yesterday morning | rte.ie/b/1393847

Right what critics demand - greatly reduced sheep. Left managing holistically using greatly increased sheep numbers to address climate change. Science vs emotional beliefs.
I have been trying to communicate with @Meta support for the last few weeks over a billing error. I'm pretty sure the 'support team' is automated. "Linda" or "Laura" have zero ability to actually address concerns, and send back templated replies regardless of what I reply with.
. @ESBNetworks Any update on the fault in Aughacasla Co Kerry? This is a routine occurrence over winter with trees coming down in a privately owned forestry. Surely there’s some action that you and the forestry owner can agree on to limit disturbance to 60+ rural families?
Long but worthwhile read
On my (@IrishRainforest) second last day on this account, I want to talk about the big lie that is Irish 'forests'.
One of these is a forest, one of them most definitely is not.
One covers around 1% of Ireland, the other 10%.

Russia’s exports are largely fossil fuels. A good graphic that shows which European countries import gas from Russia.
I would have made the arrows go the other way, to highlight not the flow of gas but the flow of money — and show which countries are financing Putin’s war.

A typical website visit in 2022
1. Figure out how to decline all but essential cookies
2. Close the support widget asking if I need help
3. Stop the auto-playing video
4. Close the “subscribe to our newsletter” pop-up
5. Try and remember why I came here in the first place
A bit unsettling that I had to notify @AerLingus about my cancelled connecting @UnitedAirlines flight. With Covid cancellations and a winter storm brewing, this could be a difficult journey back to Ireland.
