"The court ordered TotalEnergies to remove statements that said it placed sustainable development at the heart of its strategy and that it “contributed to the wellbeing of populations” in line with the UN’s sustainable development goals." The tas de merde in question:

Merci beaucoup to the French court for smacking down the greenwashing merde of TotalEnergies, the 7th biggest corporate fossil fuel polluter who just announced plans to expand gas production. It's the first time France's Greenwashing law has been used against a fossil fuel company.

🇮🇪 Presidential Election Day 1918 was the first time Irish women were permitted to vote, & even then only ~women over 30 who owned property~ Is é do vóta do ghuth 🗳️ #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

😤 And once again, food's off the table...Even if we quit fossil fuels, today’s food systems alone could push us past 1.5°C. The recent EAT-Lancet report couldn’t be clearer: no #FoodSystem transformation, no #climate future. #EUClimate #COP30 www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Delighted to be able to Vote 1 for Catherine Connolly today. She's a woman of dignity, integrity and warmth. She is the best of us. Bean uasal, iontach agus ionraic. #CatherineforPresident

Are you a little confused about how Ireland’s Presidential Election works? Fear not: I have once again picked up some 🔴 popular 🟠 coloured 🟡 chocolate-based 🟢 confectionary 🔵 treats 🟣 to show how the #aras25 votes are counted. @virginmedianews.bsky.social

They hate being ridiculed⤵️

A wife and mother, a barrister, a Gaeilgeoir, a rollerblader and a budding pianist, with a lifetime of public service. This Friday, vote Catherine Connolly #1

Get Your Vote Out, use it wisely. Bring a friend. Put a big number 1 beside Catherine Connolly’s name, and drop it in the box. Every #Vote counts. It’ll be 7 years before we can do this again, choose your President carefully. #KerryForConnolly #Áras25

No hands! 😲 bsky.app/profile/joen...

Last canvass of #aras25 done in Dublin Bay South for @catherinegalway.bsky.social Had been a brilliant and inspiring cross-party campaign. Long may it continue.

There’s only one woman to follow in his footsteps. #Vote 1 for #Connolly

Remembering with gratitude a wonderful invitation from President Michael D Higgins to us at Irish Seedsavers in 2012 to Áras an Uachtarán. Complete with guided tour from head gardeners of the organic vegetable gardens, orchards, poultry and beehives. A great legacy to pass on to a likeminded soul💚🌱

“Would I want Ireland on our side in a war with Russia? Yes. There is an immense amount of talent in the Republic that is not being exploited. They fight really well.”

“He told parliamentarians that Nato should counter the threat from Moscow and Beijing by holding naval exercises in Irish-controlled waters, whether Dublin agreed or not. He also urged the Republic of Ireland to back military co-operation with Nato. Puts the Examiner story in an urgent new light.

We are not radical. We just paid attention in History class.

Wonderful to see this and all the other canvass photos from around the country Clare. Beir bua.

A great last Canvas in Dundrum this evening. One of many across the constituency of Dublin-Rathdown today to get the vote out tomorrow for Catherine Connolly to be our next President of Ireland💚

There was no conceivable world in which the British justice system would find one of their own guilty of war crimes when they're enthusiastically supporting a genocide. But even still, the Bloody Sunday verdict is a slap in the face for all Irish people.

The ICJ found against the United States in a contentious case against Nicaragua in 1986, proceedings which lead to the US withdrawing from the Court's compulsory jurisdiction. Here was the reported reaction of the US administration at the time:

Ireland is mentioned three times by the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese in her latest report on the genocide in Gaza: ⚫ For the transfer of weapons from the United States to Israel through Shannon airport ⚫ For trade - importing over $3 billion of dual-use integrated circuits from Israel

Ireland is named on this list.

"Until now, the German government has enabled a medical evacuation for 0 people"

This is NOT a joke. If it was meant to be funny it would show her talking about her love of hang-gliding or something. Its intent is to keep her voters at home, it’s malevolent and deeply cynical, a direct interference in our elections. But by whom? www.bbc.com/news/article...

A post on on the Presidential Election - mainly going deeper into the poll numbers, but also some discussion about what each outcome might mean beyond just this election, and thoughts on the broader conversation about democracy. #Áras25 irishelectionprojections.com/2025/10/21/2...

And there has been zero discernable change in Israel’s ethnic cleansing policy of Gaza from Biden to Trump. In both cases they continue to do whatever they want.

Never did Dems say genocide is a deal breaker. They ignored it or shouted down those that did. And they lost because of it.

As Quelvin noted, in Guatemala when TNCs face sanctions for human rights or environmental abuses, they run to international arbitration “to coerce the state into allowing them to continue” their harmful activities. Instead, all commercial agreements must respect rights and the planet.
