Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of London to oppose the US-Israeli war against Iran and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The protest followed the UK government decision to ban the Al-Quds Day march, an annual pro-Palestinian procession.

What a spineless human being

US soldiers, inexorably shipping out to the Persian Gulf to die in the AIPAC vs Iran War while invading Kharg Island, have been greeting each other with extra crisp salutes and a deadpan, "FOR EPSTEIN!"🫡 🙃

Why the USA can't afford anything.

“Mohammed, five, Othman, seven, who was blind and had special needs, their mother Waad Bani Odeh, 35, and father Ali Bani Odeh, 37, were driving through their hometown of Tamoun late on Saturday when Israeli forces opened fire.” Shot in the head and face. Executed with their parents. No words.

From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.

Dogs have become demi-gods. We need to re-equilibrate our relationship with dogs. Dogs are destructive to wildlife through disturbance to breeding birds and coastal waders, tick treatments impact water quality. The list goes on…..

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment. Take a look at my wares and please repost. gailmyerscough.co.uk Thanks!

An evening push. Me and my wife have our own business, Cut From The Land. We make linocut prints inspired by nature, folklore and the countryside. Things are very slow, just now, while we wait for market season to start. Any sales/likes/shares would be massively appreciated.

If anybody fancies buying something/anything we’d be over the moon. Loads of interest, but not a single sale, this month. If there was ever a time for having something beautiful in your life, it’s definitely now. Treat yourself and help a small business. www.cutfromtheland.co.uk/products

UK government loses appeal over Kneecap terror charge www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My favorite moment from today. Kyiv. I hope that after the war ends, millions of people from all over the world will come to this city. And maybe hundreds of them will do so because of my posts 😉

The shameful cowardice & hypocrisy of the Irish government is hard to stomach. They can't even condemn the murder of children, as a consequence to their subordination to US imperialism. The Taoiseach should not be handing over a bowl of shamrocks to Epstein-Island warmonger Trump. #USOutOfShannon

Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?

They blew up an elementary school Tom www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

It’s Kyiv today. I just love sharing glimpses of this city with you.

Many indie bookstores from which to preorder signed copies! I’ll be in Brooklyn, Philly, Boston, Baltimore, and D.C. on my tour. www.hachettebookgroup.com/articles/on-...

Here Manchán tells us about the Abbeyleix Bog Project, a community-based initiative that restored and rejuvenated a swathe of bogland in the Irish midlands. / A Red Hare Media production. Fascinating stuff. #SpéirGhorm www.rte.ie/radio/radio1... Reminds me to suggest @tinaclaffey.bsky.social

A reminder that there are young people in the UK who have been held in prison for up to two years without conviction for allegedly dismantling weapons of genocide. The government has been proven wrong on all accusations against them so far. Meanwhile: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Does this explain why a primary school was lethally obliterated twice?

BREAKING: Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say what millions of Americans are thinking: We don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel. Security dragged him out and broke his arm. Veterans are speaking out. The American people don’t want this war.

The USA blowing up Tehran. Please tell me about how much they care about those protestors again.

Before you cut everything back to make the garden look “neat” — pause. Right now in Ireland and the UK, many insects are still overwintering inside last year’s hollow stems. Most don’t emerge until temps are regularly above ~10–12°C (often late March–April). “Tidy” can mean destroying shelter. 🌱🦋

As a thread it's a bit messy as it branched and I tried to bring it back together but from a just war/military planning/AI/dystopian nightmare perspective this is the most long-term disturbing aspect of the war so far.

🚨 But the Greens put out two 'foreign' campaign videos! Yes they did. They put out many, many English ones too... 🚨But they shouldn't 'target' specific nationalities or ethnicities! Oh really? So what was this all about then?👇

Sadly disused boathouse near Castleward. Had previously stored a long boat. Don't think the National Trust owns it. #StrangfordLough #Lecale #LeathCathail #CountyDown #SpéirGhorm

for the moronic politicians in Ireland who can't get their brains around lower speed limits and what they achieve

the bombings will continue until peace improves

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing. "It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

Lots of people saying Gorton and Denton represents this and that in ideological, policy terms. But, really, I don't think I can stress enough how much of a draw "a normal person who lives round here and has a normal job" is compared to "careerist toady bussed in from the Westminster circle-jerk".

They shot a 14 year old child. Then blocked the ambulance reaching him. Then laughed as they watched him die. This is what the IOF does every day - murder children with impunity and laugh as they do it. tinyurl.com/3chsh2rc

TFW you're having morning call/coffee and realise there's one Reform and one Labour on the call with you.

This is massive, and disgraceful. No organisation called “Tactical Choice” appears to exist.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform? I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

Writer Alan O'Gorman, accepting the IFTA for best film for Christy, talked about the importance recognising and destigmatising the experience of being in the care system, said "Free Palestine, Free Palestine, Saoirse don Phalaistín, get the US army out of Shannon." RTÉ cut this part of his speech..

We reiterate our demands, we uphold the Palestinian boycott call, UEFA must expel Israel for its crimes against Palestinians, until then the FAI should refuse to play these fixtures. No-one should play the apartheid state, anywhere. #BanIsrael #FreePalestine

Senator Alice Mary Higgins asked the CnaM Chairman why his organisation didn’t take action under the Irish Online Safety Code against Grok generating CSAM. Apparently, it didn’t appear to them to be a breach of the code. What , then, is it good for?

Fantastic interview. Everyone should read it:

Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) is responsible for protecting people across the EU because tech firms put their HQ offices in Ireland. DPC admitted today that it hasn't finished a single Google investigation since the GDPR was introduced. Kudos @sineadgibney.bsky.social for asking

President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked international partners for supporting Ukraine during his address on Feb. 24, marking the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Zelensky said he hopes to one day welcome the U.S. president to Ukraine.
