Many are drawing attention to how the brutal, thuggish attack by a soldier on Natasha O Brien in Limerick is part of a wider pattern of impunity for men's violence, especially when carried out by police or soldiers.

@sahouraxo @Fintaann Obama was a champion of imperialism from head-to-toe. The commander-in-chief of the most aggressive imperialist monstrosity on this planet. The neoliberal politics of Obama and the Wall-Street presidents before him paved the way for the rise of Trump & Trumpism. This is a fact.
