Dec 8, 2025: 10 FOIA requests about abandoned Army vet closed in one day
Nov 11, 2025: Embassy Lomé assaulted him
2017-2025: Systematic abandonment documented
Blinken let it happen. Will you let it continue?
TSM investigation, full documentation: https://zurl.co/oWKyr
The officials are named. The pattern is exposed. The accountability is pending.
Your move, Secretary.
What does government obstruction look like?
10 FOIA requests about an abandoned veteran
Closed in one day
By one person
With zero documentation produced
And one month before that mass closure, the embassy physically assaulted him.
TSM's ABANDONED Part 1 documents everything: the requests, the closures, the assault, the officials.
This is why they fight transparency so hard.

Also you better all believe I’ll be filing more #FOIA than you can wave a stick at in 2026, and hopefully be getting back a lot of documents I’ve been waiting years for now.
Welcome to the amazing world of reaction abuse. #FOIA

The Department of Justice anticipated it would need a €15 million war chest to fight legal challenges next year from failed asylum seekers and those facing deportation.
In internal discussions, the International Protection Office (IPO) said “exceptionally high levels of litigation” could be expected as they dramatically speed up the time it takes to deal with applications for refugee status.

On a site that it calls a “full Epstein library,” [but is far less that the full amount of materials they have] #DOJ sorted files into multiple categories: court records; disclosures it said it made because of the law passed by #Congress & signed by #Trump in Nov under pressure; material it has released in response to #FOIA requests; & the batch of files it released in Sept to the #House #Oversight Cmte, much of which was already public.
This is the reality of Freedom of Information in Ireland.
Records redacted on the basis they contained 'personal information'.
Clearly they don't and could never be used to identify an individual.
So why would the Department of Justice redact them?
2/7 For many years, TRAC Requested this data so often that it's now available every month on the DOJ website.
Thanks to @austinkocher.com@bsky.brid.gy and other #FOIA friends who made this happen.

The National Gallery warned the OPW that diesel fumes from Leinster House’s emergency generator were billowing into its building, leading to health and safety complaints from staff.
The monthly generator tests are needed to make sure the parliament’s back-up electricity supply is fully functioning.
However, the tests have alarmed the gallery which has been forced to shut rooms filled with valuable artworks and close off public access.

at the #NexaCenter conf. I said:when the #WarOnTerror had produced atrocities, #JA did NOT waste his time in reforming #FOIA to get #CollateralMurder,he pioneered the #WikiLeaks revolution based on #courage and #technology
We must do the same, because we live in even darker times
a #NexaCenter oggi ho detto:quando #WarOnTerror aveva prodotto feroci atrocità,Julian #Assange non ha perso tempo a riformare #FOIA, ha usato il #coraggio e la #tecnologia per inventare la rivoluzione di #WikiLeaks.
Dobbiamo fare lo stesso, perché situazione oggi ANCORA PIU' GRAVE
In our #FOIA lawsuit against the FCC, the Reporters Committee has obtained a tranche of communications between the agency and outside individuals/groups related to the Paramount-Skydance merger. They start on page 171 of the second production available here: www.rcfp.org/litigation/r...

There were more than three times as many gardaí as deportees on a half-full flight to Pakistan even though it included just one person with a serious criminal conviction.
Internal notes from the Department of Justice show that the deportation operation in September cost €474,000 and involved only 24 failed asylum seekers.
Just backed up a few more directories full of responsive documents to notable #FOIA s I've filed here: https://github.com/RooneyMcNibNug/FOIA/tree/master/Responsive%20Docs
Most of them were retrieved in the past 4-5 years.
Next steps are:
1. start adding small descriptions for them with links
2. OCR the PDFs
3. mirroring repo to Codeberg
4. would love to migrate completely away from GIthub, even..
