This is happening in the middle of Tel Aviv 👏🏼👏🏼👇🏼💙

One of the biggest things our 21st-century democracies have to address is lobbying, and how easily they have (not can be - have) been bought lock, stock and barrel by vested interests. From housing and health to the impendjng climate catastrophe, nothing will change until that changes.

The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo. It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families.

Bull f*cking shit Only thing Ireland is full of is empty homes We have over 160,000 vacant homes & around 20,000 derelict homes State sponsored vandalism & violence #DerelictIreland

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question: When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

‘Online abuse of politicians is a profitable business-Monetisation and algorithmic amplification has turned peddling disinformation, hate speech, and harassment into a for-profit industry’.The far right Irish blue ‘thicks’ who went after Eileen cash in on hate. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Imagine being this disconnected from the cost of living that the average young person is enduring right now. Build affordable homes. Introduce rent caps, ban evictions, cap fuel prices, introduce a living wage. Nope. A pyramid scheme. Their mates in finance-land must be frothing at the mouth.

Saw this last week at the AXIS in Ballymun - it was brilliant. Heartfelt, clever & funny. It was in the Fringe last year but keep an eye out for it around the city If you missed it!

The slow but slippery erosion of our #neutrality, one chink at a time. The people of #Ireland voted 2x for neutrality and the Triple Lock. This Government is disrespecting and circumventing the People of Ireland. Call a #referendum now #triplelock #speirgorm @thejournal.ie

I've just signed the open letter, calling on Jim O'Callaghan to stand up for a fair immigration process that keeps people safe and keeps our families and communities whole. Will you add your name? action.uplift.ie/campaigns/in...

It's time to make #SNAs permanent in every school and give them a liveable wage. #speirgorm

Focus & Anger should be at the BBC which CHOSE not to edit/beep out the offensive slur but instead CENSORED a call to end a genocide. #BAFTA

So, Roisin Murphy makes the statement that 'no one used the term "queer" unless it was to hurt someone who was gay'. I'm unable to ignore this. The following isn't about making personal comments about Roisin and it's not about the merits of the word, it's about challenging a lie.

All of this in less than a week. I am so, so tired. #spéirghorm #FFGOUT

Scrapping the Triple Lock would remove the guardrails on where Irish troops can be sent. It weakens our neutrality and sidelines the UN. If the Government thinks it has a mandate, let the people decide.

Meanwhile in Ireland, where the company is based, nothing. Head shaking, tut-tutting, and ah-sure-it’ll be grand. I suppose you can’t wave a magic wand to fix this either 🤨. The Harris & Martin Laughin’ has got to go. #speirghorm

Sharing yet again, and will keep sharing. Only 8,397 Irish residents have signed this petition. Shockingly low for a country that says it stands in solidarity with Palestine. Please sign, this petition will make a difference. #JusticeForPalestine #Speirgorm eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

We’ve said it repeatedly: Europe’s border policies don’t stop people from moving. They just push them onto even more dangerous and distant routes to safety.

The proprietor of The Other Place has been cozying up to white supremacism. I want to make sure we’re clear on that as he tries to get back in Trump’s favor and his companies become even more closely meshed with the Pentagon.

I've signed this petition calling for the government to shut down X for producing sexual abuse images. Will you do the same? my.uplift.ie/petitions/sh... @uplift.ie

My column in the Irish Times on the dangers of corporate capture. Corporate interests dominate public policy while community needs go unmet. Greta Thunberg & BohsFC show us how to reclaim the public good @thunberggreta.bsky.social @bfcdublin.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Have been contacted by some victims of deepfaking / non-consensual manipulation of their images by AI - about their experiences. If anyone else in Ireland has a story they'd like to share on the issue, please feel free to contact me.

action.uplift.ie/campaigns/ho... Help keep the pressure on making Musk accountable. The fact that safeguarding & putting the protection of kids/women is even up for discussion is mind-blowing.

It's infuriating!! A general election can't come soon enough!!!

Telling the government my new home is going to be a data centre so they'll build it for me

But my constituents are on X The constituents on X:

The X situation is an excellent example of the perils of neoliberalism. The state has become so beholden to a private service provider for public service announcements, they're resorting to equivocation on responsibility for CSAM and violent misogyny on that platform rather than risk losing it.

#Venezuela protest at the US embassy in Dublin. Lack of nuance from people is so saddening. 2 things can be true at once. We can stand against a dictator & oppressor AND stand against Imperialism under the guise of liberation! Why are some people unable to grasp this? #speirgorm

BREAKING: Trump plan for Venezuela released: 1. Raid Venezuela 2. Kidnap Venezuelan leader 3. ???? 4. PROFIT!

The Slovenian magazine, “Objektiv”, is getting accolades for this brilliant cover design.

The idea that journalists, politicians, groups or - you know, women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people - should "stay on the pitch" doesn't really hold up. Foreign Minister's account has 60k followers - 40 likes, 13k views? Blue ticks straight to the top of the queue with misogyny, bile.

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

It's monstrous that we have to even push our Government in this. They are spineless always putting corporates over people. Until we can vote them out - let's keep the pressure up Please sign! my.uplift.ie/petitions/sh... @uplift.ie #speorgorm

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

A corrupt or ineffectual political class can exhaust you through inaction. They are counting on the public to become too tired or overwhelmed to persist with seeking accountability. They're not even waiting for the problem to go away, only your reaction to it. Thank you to everyone who stays mad.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.
