You may feel powerless to respond to hate but you are not. One small thing you can do, which will make a real difference, is donate to the Muslim Sisters of Éire. I just did it, and it only takes a moment. These incredible women show up day after day to feed unhoused people. msoe.ie/donate/

Very happy to donate to the Muslim Sisters of Éire who feed the unhoused week in week out. Only takes a minute msoe.ie/donate/

It can't be said often enough, so I'll say it again: Solar and batteries can power the world! It's cheaper than gas (esp. at today's prices) and a lot more reliable. By 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the world's population for < €80/MWh (including backup).

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The grace and kindness of this post from Muslim Sisters of Eire in the face of racist aggression is inspiring as is the support they got from the people they are supporting. #Solidarity #SpeirGorm

Notable as the Muslims Sisters went out of their way to be non-threatening to the protesters beforehand. It really does only take a handful of people to cause huge problems, but as long as the protesters tolerate that handful, that is entirely their fault and they shoulder responsibility.

When protesters tried to block Dublin Port at a march for Gaza they were arrested like five seconds later.

Has anyone seen an estimate of how many protestors are blockading the country? Watching RTÉ news reporting ‘large crowds’ i.e. ‘hundreds’. When tens of thousands march peacefully for Palestine or climate it hardly gets a mention… #SpeirGorm

At least 10 people killed in Zrariyeh and 7 more in Abbasiyyeh after an Israeli airstrike this morning Israel's massacres in Lebanon continue

Feena couldn’t run the Dublin City Half Marathon, so she donated her place (and covered the transfer fee!) 💛 Now Zandile is taking it on as her very first half-marathon 🏃‍♀️ A simple act of kindness, and maybe the start of a new friendship 🤝 #Solidarity #SpeirGorm #DublinHalfMarathon

🔵 So proud to unveil our Sanctuary Runners team for the #LondonMarathon on April 26th! Runners from 🇮🇪🏴🇨🇳🇺🇿🇸🇩🇾🇪🇬🇭🇿🇼🇦🇱🇳🇬 — united in #Solidarity #Friendship #Respect 💙 We can’t wait!

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

At some point Israel abandoned all pretenses and decided to lean hard into the cartoonish evil it has always embodied

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

The time between fossil fuel crises is just going to keep shrinking, until there's no discrete single "crisis" - just one unbroken prolonged state of global suffering due to fossil fuel unreliability The best time to ditch fossil fuels was 30 years ago. The second best time is now

Short version of letter sent to the Taoiseach urging him to retain the triple lock and defend international law and the UN. Signed by 400+ academics & university workers. The handful of academics we read and hear from all the time in the media are outliers. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

If climate protesters had blocked roads for as long as the fuel protesters did, there would be people on the radio demanding the army be called in to shoot them all

Give everyone bikes!! Instead of subsidising fossil fuels. Bikes will get past the tractor blockade of Dublin city centre today. #SpeirGorm

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

is it me or is this the most blatant propaganda ever written

Hey drivers, one way to save on expensive fuel is to drive slower. Another is to use public transportation or ride a bike. Any of those will lead to fewer people killed.

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...

Pretty persistently frustrating that enviro opposition to data centres get clumsily dismissed as "NIMBY" when, as you can see here, it's well-evidenced and packed to the brim with real-world examples of material harm. And GP goes further than most in pointing out the end-goals of the system:

What the hell, why not? Thanks for starting the thread. This is a story set during the Irish War of Independence, inspired by the fact that an Irish schoolteacher named John Philip Holland built the first effective submarine for an American-Irish rebel group. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/steel-plat...

Ireland's data centres nationally are already using energy at 4 times the PROJECTED European average for 2030. If we're serious about energy conservation the very first thing we have to do is reintroduce the moratorium on building any more of them. #spéirgorm

The West is appalled by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Couldn't care less about the blockade of Cuba, the invasion of Lebanon or the continuing Genocide in Gaza.

Great thread here, as always @liamhogan.bsky.social knows his history.

[Nothing surprising here. For profit corps doing what they do. The only "low emission" fossil gas is the gas left in the ground. Undisturbed. So what *governments* - inc EU - need to do is agressively eliminate gas and all other fossil fuels from their energy mix. Everthing else is a distraction.]

So Israel has now killed very nearly as many Lebanese as Israelis were killed on October 7, including 100 children and there’s hardly a word of condemnation other than from Carney and Macron. Why no international outcry at the ethnic cleansing that’s taking place.

Wow—the Pope is going with full-on liberation theology:

The increasing role that the data centre industry plays in the generation, transmission and distribution of energy in Ireland means that it is a de facto energy utility without any formalised responsibility or oversight. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

The US had bombed a 2nd school in Iran using missiles previously untested in battle What a monstrous state www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has denounced what he calls Israel's "illegal invasion" of Lebanon. Speaking in Quebec, he tells reporters: "It’s an illegal invasion, it’s an invasion of Lebanon, it’s a violation of their territorial sovereignty."

With only the slightest apology for my language: Who the fuck actually wants these damned data centres?

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

Keep Ireland LNG free! @nhna.bsky.social @foeireland.bsky.social

Irish bluesky responding to a question about Cromwell... this made me laugh...

Not even in apartheid South Africa, were executions for one race codified into law. Genocidal.

NEW: Israel becomes the first state in history to write INTO LAW the death sentence for one, specific ethnic group. This is Cabinet member Ben Gvir celebrating with champagne after the vote. This is not a government, it is a death cult. They won’t serve champagne in The Hague. (🎥 Cradle Media)

The severe systemic risk here is obvious, so I'll confine myself to one aspect of it. The possibility of medication and medical supplies shortages in the near future is very real, so staying as healthy as you can is more important than ever. Wear FFP2 / FFP3 as often as possible.

So much for the "narrow interests" which the government says use judicial review. When they went out and asked people what they thought 1,470 asked for Access to Justice to be upheld, only 30 sided with the government So which interest is the "narrow interest"?

I might just repost every one of these headlines (I know I know it’s only the league…)

not often we see this headline in this order… Donegal HAMMER Kerry 🥳 #JimmysWinningMatches

PM Sanchez: "PM Netanyahu is trying to create a new reality in Middle East and there are chances that the US administration is unware of what he is trying to do. We are aware about destruction and instability the war brings, so we can't remain silent on this issue"

This is so heartbreaking to read. A rare example of showing us the humanity of US/Israel bomb victims. I grieve for these children and the thousands of similar children killed by bombs in Gaza, who weren't given names and stories by western media.
