On 10 July 1921 Bloody Sunday broke out in Belfast. The violence erupted one day before a truce began in the Irish War of Independence, which ended the war in most of Ireland. With the truce nearing, police launched a raid against republicans, but were ambushed by the IRA and a British officer was killed. 1/2

Charts!

BBB will gut the IRA and add substantially to the deficit and the debt without providing any meaningful impetus to economic growth. It will pile about $3 trillion onto the deficit over the next 10 years, and it lacks provisions that could significantly boost economic growth.

#finance #401k #IRA question, US:

I'm considering taking Substantially Equal Periodic Payments, if I rollover my 401k to an IRA do I lose that option?

I am no longer at the workplace it is attached to.

Also, while I see nothing specific against it, feels weird trying to set up SEPP for, um. It'd be about 30 years? I am unsure how that works, if I can stop, if adjustments are possible as my asset values rise (please)??

I just want my money tbh I am slightly tempted to take the 10% haircut.

O #FilipeFigueiredo, aquele do podcast #XadrezVerbal, às 20:30 de quarta-feira fará uma live no canal do #Pirulla falando da guerra entre #Israel e #Irã. A ideia é manter o canal do Pirulla ativo até que ele esteja recuperado, com o dinheiro ganho indo para ajudar a família dele neste período difícil. Recomendo a todos, não só pelo Pirulla, mas também porque esse cara manja MUITO de relações internacionais. Não consigo imaginar fonte melhor pra quem quiser entender bem o que está acontecendo no Oriente Médio e suas possíveis repercussões.

Why Rooftop #Solar Could Crash Under the Republican Tax-Cut Bill - The New York Times (gift link) https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/climate/rooftop-solar-republicans-congress.html?unlocked_article_code=1.OE8.reLQ.7Gxi6wZrYQzE&smid=url-share #IRA #ChromeTheEarthGang

"At its core, the Republican 'big, beautiful bill' is more than just an extension of tax breaks approved during President Donald Trump’s first term at the White House.

The package is an attempt by Republicans to undo, little by little, the signature domestic achievements of the past two Democratic presidents."

U.S. energy industry trade groups have launched a last-minute lobbying blitz to urge Congress members to spare a slew of former President Joe Biden's clean energy tax credits from the chopping block in the Republican budget plan.

Anti Imperialist Action #Ireland Proudly Remembers Commandant General James Connolly of the #Irish Citizen Army, the Commander in Chief of the Army of the Irish Republic (#IRA) #Dublin Division during the 1916 Rising who was executed on this day in 1916 by the forces of #British Imperialism in Ireland.

James Connolly is the father of Irish Socialist Republicanism, the guiding thought of the fight for National #Liberation and Socialism in Ireland.

In #Nordirland dauerte es fast 30 Jahre, bis die #IRA ihren bewaffneten Kampf aufgab und dafür war es nötig, mit Terroristen zu sprechen. Und im äußerst grausamen #Bosnienkrieg brauchte es eine internationale militärische Intervention, um Verhandlungen zustande zu bringen. Was uns diese und andere historische Beispiele lehren: https://www.3sat.de/gesellschaft/politik-und-gesellschaft/vom-krieg-zum-frieden-102.html?at_medium=Social%20Media&at_campaign=Mastodon&at_specific=3sat

Σαν σήμερα τo 1981, πεθαίνει ο Robert Gerard Sands. #IRA

C'etait il y a 44 ans. 66 jours de grève de la faim. On n'oublie pas ton combat camarade. #MemoireDeLuttes #IRA #BobbySands

Today in Labor History May 5, 1981: Bobby Sands (1954-1981) died, ending his 66-day hunger strike. Sands was an Irish political prisoner and member of Parliament who had been locked up in the notoriously brutal Maze Prison near Belfast. The strike was an attempt to get the British government to grant political prisoner status to Nationalist inmates, rather than treating them as common criminals.
