On November 16, 1688, before the Salem Witch Trials, Ann Glover, an Irish speaker, was hanged for witchcraft in Boston. Asked to recite the Lord's Prayer, she only knew it in Irish and Latin. Tonight, please light a candle in your window and post it with the hashtag #AnnGlover .

"Her 1990 'I Am Stretched on Your Grave' is a Gaelic folk hip-hop mash-up; strange as it sounds, it's a reworking of 17th century Irish poem 'Táim Sínte Ar Do Thuama' set to the James Brown 'Funky Drummer' loop ..."

Y si Irlanda hubiera seguido una política lingüística “a la catalana”: imponer el gaélico para todo y marginar al máximo el inglés? Hoy seguirían atados a las patatas, sumisos a los curas y emigrando en masa. Han elegido bien: olvidar las tonterías sobre “la lengua propia”.

"Taig" is a slur against Catholics. A corruption of the name "Tadhg", it's also a slur on the Irish language.    This graffiti is a call to genocide. @duponline 's & @tuvonline 's rhetoric against the language is really a sectarian dog whistle. 🦮
