Omar El Akkad, winner of the 2025 National Book Award for non-fiction for his book “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” about the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza, speaking tonight at the awards gala in New York City where he accepted the award. #NationalBookAwards

What the Irish Green Party forgot when they put the two big conservative, right-of-centre, business-as-usual parties back into power in the last government. Let's hope no leftist, progressive party *ever* again makes the same mistake in this country.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

No words.

🗣️ "Are we going to have a conversation, on the level that you are about deportations here, about the crisis of male violence against women in this country?” - News Correspondent, The Journal Eimer McAuley #TonightVMTV

Tonight people are going to push a narrative of "why are immigrants taking our homes/healthcare/stuff" instead of the actual narrative which should be "why don't we have what we need, why have our governments failed us?". And it's convenient for the govt to have this be the message. #citywest

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

The only qualification for being president of the United States, no matter the party, is an unquenchable thirst for Middle Eastern blood.

watching the people too young to remember "wmds" and the invasion of iraq as they watch the consent-manufacturing machine go brrrr for doing iran

Millions of Palestinians are starving. Now a humanitarian ship en route to Gaza is being targeted by Israel. On board: food, medicine & 12 activists. The EU must act now to stop the aid blockade on Gaza! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-6-...

'...there are no “insurmountable legal obstacles” in either Irish, European or international law preventing the adoption of legislation prohibiting the import of goods and services produced in the unlawful Israeli settlements in the West Bank, it states.'

She went back to work. 💔

It's a small thing to do but a huge thing that should be done

This says it all really

So Israel has announced their plan for a further attack on Gaza and included is the fact that they intend to force everyone out of the North and no aid will enter until everyone complies. International law is a joke.

Government defending the indefensible - well after their deal with Lowry, they are used to doing so! #speirgorm www.rte.ie/news/politic...

I never thought of it like this

"Parents can't find food for their children... [as] Israeli Forces continue bombardment." No humanitarian aid has entered Gaza for more than three weeks, says UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini, the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/2brjf3

This 👇 There was no human element to the victim at all.

This series of films that is supposed to be a warning shot to parents about incel ideology embeds some of the mythic tropes of violent incel terrorist martyrdom deeply in its fabric in a way that I'm still finding really incensing a day later.

Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free." - For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza. 23 and he knew to leave a death note.

Recent Oscar-winning filmmaker lynched & abducted by illegal Israeli settlers, backed by the army. Breathtaking levels of brazen impunity on display from the colonial regime. www.middleeasteye.net/news/palesti...

This. Everyone who pushed back on anti immigrant rhetoric did the correct thing. You give it an inch and you get what we are seeing right now in America. Being polite and trying to compromise with fascism Does Not Fucking Work

Leaflet drop - Israel to people of Gaza: No one will feel for you, and no one will ask about you. You are left alone to face your inevitable fate.

As mass murder and genocide escalate in #Gaza, the UK government should denounce them, cut off all support to Netanyahu's government and assist in its prosecution. Instead, Starmer silences his ministers. In doing so, he facilitates the crimes.

Western press going "why the ceasefire broke down is complex and multifaceted' you disgraces to journalism and humanity the ceasefire broke down because Israel kept murdering, starved the concentration camp, didn't keep to any agreement, and then straight-up started massacring Gaza again

Finally a headline stating what just happened. BBC please copy. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Hello, I’m a disruptor, very smart, here to create efficiency. I’m just going to drill holes in the bottom of this boat to see which parts of the hull are mission-critical.

I will never forgive them. They made me a beggar after I had a beautiful home—then even begging was denied. Platforms call us “terrorists,” blocking aid while Israel steals our land and lives. I am a mother, a graduate, a human. Why this hatred? Why must we suffer for existing?

Israel has resumed its genocide in Gaza. But the Western media has overwhelmingly suppressed the truth. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-res...

While all of our attention is turned to dramatic press conferences in the Oval Office, Israel indefinitely suspends deliveries of food and aid supplies into Gaza. #Gaza #Palestine #SpéirGorm jrnl.ie/6637446
