irishfabian.wordpress.com/2026/04/22/e... I decided to share a post on 2 issues that informed my book, economics and faith.

🚨Good news Women trade union leaders KESK (Turkish public service unions) have been acquitted Thanks to many unions and comrades that continued #solidarity over the nearly 15 years of this trial The prosecutor appealed ⬅️We stand by our comrades @epsu.bsky.social @labourstart.bsky.social

The underwhelming Posie Parker roadshow Comment, Apr 25th Notes on an Ipswich Saturday, in which a widely disliked political activist tried, and largely failed, to play her usual game of “look look I’m being repressed” ~ A Suffolk Anarchists member ~ freedomnews.org.uk/2026/04/25/t...

It is the Gospel which inspires the Church to help those in need and to speak out on behalf of their just demands —St Oscar Romero, 4th Sunday of Easter (A), 1978 #StOscarRomero

What led to the Syrian uprising and civil war? workersliberty.org/story/2026-0...

JFC.. “…But this [suicides] data only includes trans people who are in contact with mental health services *when* they die, so it is far from being a complete picture of trans deaths…”

The BBC's campaign against trans people is conspicuous and a disgrace. But it also pushes Reform's agenda on small boats; weaponises sexual assaults by Brown people; constantly pushed pro Brexit messaging. It's a major cause of Britain's economic and moral decline.

Both believers and non-believers are human and if you can't love others then you are inhumane. Trans people are oppressed in this inhumane system. Weekend show solidarity.

'Better for more young trans people to die than us admit our policy choices are killing them": this now seems to be Labour's position. I'm sorry we have to write about this stuff. But unless we do, nothing will change. CW: suicide.

Italy: 18 anarchists sentenced for Alfredo Cospito solidarity demo News, Apr 23rd Sentences ranged from 18 months to 5.5 years with substantial fines and damages ~ La Zarzamora ~ freedomnews.org.uk/2026/04/23/i...

I will try and write a weekly blog on irishfabian.wordpress.com

Reading books, writing books, selling books the life of an author I suppose

An Irish-language science fiction book sounds quite modern, doesn’t it? Check out this one from 1939 #Spéirghorm

White/able/male/"heritage" ancestry is strength. BIPOC/disabled/fem/immigrant background is weak. In the fascist narrative these are distinctions Nature itself makes, and without malign* interference, the strong automatically prevail. *Jewish/foreign

It’s funny that every school is convinced that dumping area studies and student organizations for Black students is the path to “regaining trust”

Since I was in university I have always founds the anarchists to be the nicest most humane people.

Also, there literally already is a "Palestinian Mandela", and Western liberals aren't pining for him.

Paywall lifted because @saoirsemc.bsky.social is great. But youse are all still losers. Especially you, Donal. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t...

Bonkers: The USA belongs to the First Nations & yet the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation has been banned from the Oklahoma House floor! The sheer colonialism of such arrogance is breathtaking. Perhaps Oklahoma could make America great again, by listening to its original people?

"Trump’s manner of reading speeches for the first time, struggling to understand or even pronounce the words, is also concerning for the oldest person to be elected president. Trump, who grew up in New York City, can’t possibly claim to not know what a corner store is — unless he actually forgot."

the storm of hate directed at Eileen Ní Fhloinn has come not only from the Irish far right, but the massive international networks of far right influencers on social media. even Libs of TikTok got involved. this is what people risk every time they dare to criticise the far right anywhere

Bigotry against Travellers is where many Irish racists cut their teeth.

On my way to a vetting.

The brother of the Pope John had a bomb threat against him. Looks like reactionary regimes has added Catholics to others they hate.

Cork's first Radical #Bookfair is happening next month. Lots of lefty booksellers, independent radical press publishers and distributors. Topical talks and workshops! Mark the date! See you there. More info here corkradicalbookfair.ie #cork #corkradicalbookfair #rebelreads #booksforchange

Is Trump mad? Attacking the Pope and 1.4 billion Catholics. From James Martin SJ is defending the Pope.

Dorothy Day of Catholic Worker had an FBI file.

There is nothing you will read today that is more important than this. Maith thú @louthforever.bsky.social. #spéirghorm #ireland

New issue of Solidarity out now! www.workersliberty.org/publications...

Oh my God 🫢

something that’s really been wild to me, as someone raised in the ‘freedom of religion’ usa, is how my other nation, the U.K., quite literally has a state religion and is somehow a hundred times less religious functionally than the USA

It's Pope Leo v Donald Trump.

Trump wants to take on the Pope and over 1.4 billion Catholics good luck with that.

NEW: The FBI was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone, even after the app was deleted, because copies of the content were saved in the device’s push notification database, multiple people present for FBI testimony in a trial told 404 Media.

Signal gives you a way to stop this in Settings > Notifications > Notification Content

#cork! Part two of our book launch happens this Thursday at 6.30pm at Dubray on Pana! We'll have a panel with book-interviewee and scientist Joel Olympio and more TBC - plus we'll be signing copies, and refreshments will be provided. Free admission - come one, come all! #spéirghorm #ireland #adhd

Amazon has long exploited subcontracting to avoid taking responsibility for its delivery drivers. A bill introduced by socialist New York City Councilor Tiffany Cabán would force the e-commerce giant to directly employ its drivers.

an EU with its house in order would have arrested this guy off the plane

Today's Sci-Fi-I Sunday Funday is a shameless plug for our launch at @norncon.bsky.social, a picture of Mark's new strawberry plants and a fancy wee whiskey his granda shared for Easter. Information and tickets for NORNCON available at: norncon.org #sciencefiction #ireland #sundayfunday #whiskey

Pope Leo quoting St Oscar Romero.
