The homeless university lecturer: ‘There’s a sense of shame around it’

True. If this sort of thing happens in your so-called “first world” country, you should feel a profound sense of shame about it. It shows that your society is failing.

Travelling to the US
Irish passengers travelling to the US are being warned to delete social media apps from their devices if they have been openly critical of President Trump online.
I would suggest that anything published that is not viruently pro MAGA is likely to be of cobncern. Much better just to not bother travelling to the US at all, you know it makes sense.
