Iran hits back on social media.

One of the most obvious examples is the M50. It was planned as a bypass of Dublin, just as the existing N6 ring road was built to bypass Galway. It led to induced traffic on a massive scale, and enabled vast sprawl. TII now says there is no engineering solution. www.irishtimes.com/video/video/...

Is there a single major Ring Road or Bypass project in the country that has led to modal switch from cars to public transport and active travel? Just one will do.

Did Pam Bondi tell Trump that she couldn’t block release of the full Epstein Files anymore? Or couldn’t purger herself even more to protect him? Is that why he fired her? It sure wasn’t incompetence or corruption, since she always had those—in fact, they’re job requirements for Trump’s inner circle.

Worth remembering that Trump is the poodle of these Zionist killers. They tug the lead, the simpleton jumps.

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General. Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist. Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens. Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth. Do you think Marco will now self-deport?

That’s one hell of a cover…..

The true tragedy lies in the fact that he was elected and permitted to serve as President, leading to the current challenges the world is facing.

A really pertinent question …

We should all be concerned at latest proposals: "Phoebe Duvall of An Taisce correctly calls out the serious inequalities that will be created by this Government's ongoing efforts to restrict access to judicial review in the name of accelerating infrastructure" www.irishtimes.com/opinion/lett...?

The Democrats need to be loudly proclaiming that it's their intention to see that Trump's war crime prone military officers be held accountable for their crimes. Trump replaced numerous qualified & patriotic military officers with MAGA cultists. Round them all up and turn them over to The Hague.

So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-bb...

Terrified of repercussions… you know, like innocent people are.

In its own words, confirmation from Israel that it does in fact understand that its army is committing war crimes and is engaged in “pure terrorism” in murdering Lebanese kids, journalists, paramedics, just like its terrorism in Gaza, Iran & right across the entire region.

This is a real photo of the president of the United States.

12 extraordinary years of transformation in Paris with Anne Hidalgo. Thank you, Anne 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Seven years ahead with Emmanuel Grégoire to take things even further. Well done, Emmanuel. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Long live Paris 💫

The Alberta politicians that want a referendum on separation from Canada are either separatists, or are willing to play chicken with Canada’s future like the train wrecks in the UK did with the Brexit vote, just to get a “negotiation advantage.” Either way, I literally couldn’t think less of them.

Think about that..

Believe the women. Jail the perverts.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

Corruption in plain sight.

@galwaycity.ie This is how it is done!

Because the president of the United States is the dumbest motherfucker on the planet. It's just that simple.

A single propagandist for tye establishment.

Release all the Epstein files 😠

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Most of the 10 measures focus on road transport fuels, given the large consumption by cars & trucks, although air travel & even cooking methods are also addressed" But not walking/cycling? Those health & env benefits ignored b/c #CarBrain is a pernicious disease www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Quel surprise!

As I put it a few years ago in my blunt advice to Irish cities, “Your goal SHOULDN’T be to replace a million fossil fuel vehicles with a million electric vehicles. It should be to replace a million fossil fuel vehicles with 250,000 electric vehicles. The main answer MUST be FEWER cars driven LESS."

You don't need to create extra space for active infrastructure, you simply need to reallocate the space you already have.

Just makes me smile …

Four guests on @rte.ie Brendan O'Connor show. All accepted, even celebrated, the US-Israeli illegal bombing of Iran. No mention of the hundreds killed. Discussion moved straight to potential for regime change. This is how US violence and erosion of international law is normalised.

Those who engage in online abuse are cowards.

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere. It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

And it turns out that backing a genocide and jailing thousands of people who are peacefully protesting against that genocide is not a winning political strategy either.

Hooray! This is a great result in every way …

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Open letter to IE govt: protesting the continuing delays in issuing the 2026 update to the Climate Action Plan (CAP26), and the spurious grounds being offered for that. www.postcarbonireland.org/etc/2026/Let...

Shameful to see the Irish government being a "collaborator".

But it is indeed broken! Good news though: it can be corrected in November. Vote en masse; take back our government with a solid veto-proof majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. End Trump's destruction of our democracy and filling his pockets with our tax dollars.

On today’s live blog…

Has there ever been a more inept government?

“A worrying narrative was developing in Government and business circles in which environmental defenders were “stigmatised”. UN special rapporteur slams Ireland’s eco backsliding on airport expansion, nitrates derogation & demonising of environmental defenders. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

High vis all the things.
