“A different world is possible” Reposted with alt text. No stopping, keep telling. Together we can birth a different world.

Ireland’s road deaths are not inevitable, but a result of policy decisions (or a lack thereof). The data is stark!

Landlords with more 100+ tenancies now own 26% of rental properties in Dublin. The narrative is that they are more 'professional' and have the capital to invest in improving & retrofitting their properties. The evidence suggests otherwise: mu.ie/justhousing

Every believer and nonbeliever, every sane and mad soul, every noble and vile person living on this same planet must ask themselves one question: How will this filthy world pay for all this blood, for all these crimes? Where and when will the reckoning come?

This resonates deeply. How we remake the work is in true community, investing in those around us. Ubuntu at work

I've watched a lot of people find their courage. They usually believed in something, but they also believed in each other. As co-strugglers, they depended on each other. They comforted and encouraged each other. They helped each other. That investment made them stronger, bolder, and more capable.

In my experience, courage is usually the product of love and/or solidarity. When we are deeply invested in each other, we are more likely to take risks that we wouldn't take out of mere principle, or for the sake of people we feel disconnected from. Our alienation mass produces cowardice.

MSF urges countries to receive patients trapped in Gaza so they can access the specialized treatment they need. We also call on the Israeli authorities to lift the siege on Gaza, allow life-saving aid in, and facilitate medical evacuations with guarantees of a voluntary return.

I have an op-ed out today in @resprofnews.bsky.social introducing my new book on the commercialisation of open access publishing.

The largest professional organization of scholars studying genocide said Monday that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

#Speirgorm There is a call to action for Irish folks as well. I will post that next www.irishlegal.com/articles/leg...

A group of legal experts have written to the Central Bank confirming there are ample powers under existing EU law to refuse to authorise the Israel Bonds programme and that authorisation is incompatible with Ireland’s obligations under international law. academicsforpalestine.org/2025/08/28/l...

Such an important piece as we return to classrooms: “We are treading new grounds where ethical educational leadership is not about the mastery of knowing what to do. Rather, it is about the ethical commitment to try without fully knowing”

“The Gaza Famine is the world's famine. It is a famine that asks 'but what did you do?' A famine that will and must haunt us all. […] It is a famine that therefore also asks'.... and what now will you do?' Re-posted with Alt-text

“The loneliness of awaiting death” Another poem from @khawlabadwan.bsky.social that excavates words to put to this unfathomable collective grief. Reposted with alt-text

Tomorrow,God willing,for the sake of doing something, for the sake of a faint whisper through which we reclaim hope that we are still alive & want to influence our destiny, for the sake of pressuring to stop the systematic extermination against a people who are the last bastion of truth among us...

"To generate knowledge in the context of hunger is to think through pain. To teach students who have not eaten and still tell them their voices matter. To insist, against all odds, that Gaza still thinks, still questions, still creates." "That, in itself, is an act of resistance."

Let Ruaa’s words compel us to speak louder, do more, act faster “How many times must a city be stolen before you call it theft?”

Life expectancy over time in Gaza, along with four other countries that experienced wars in recent decades. For those who "it can't be genocide as the Palestinian population is growing". Gaza has had the largest drop in life expectancy of any places on earth in modern history:

“Be a bridge with a voice” Beautiful and sobering poem from @khawlabadwan.bsky.social, reposted with alt-text 💔

Sham pleaded with the world months ago to stop the war, saying, "I'm afraid for my dad because of the bombing"... Today, her fears turned into a tragic reality as she lost her father, journalist Anas Al-Sharif, in a cowardly airstrike.

Today, journalist Anas Sharif was killed by Israel after months of incitement. His final will, a heartfelt message urging protection for Palestine’s children and a call to keep fighting for freedom. His voice now echoes louder than ever. qudsnen.co/if-you-recei...

Journalist Anas Al-Sharif reporting from Gaza, shortly before Israel killed him tonight: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

I am undone. The scale of losses is ever more unfathomable. The best minds and reporters assassinated one after another with utter impunity Rest in the peace you were never granted on earth Ana’s. Your reporting was courage beyond courage

The son of my very dear friend remains trapped in the north of Gaza. Hungry, terrified. If you are able to help, even with a small donation, please please do. gofund.me/ae792fa2

Marah is hungry and exhausted and baby Miela is very unwell. Please help if you can.

Remember the story of the boy and the starfish? If the need reels overwhelming, that is not a reason to step back. It is a reason to step up knowing you can make a difference to one person while we work on the systemic injustice. Please help if you can. I make a difference to this beautiful family.

Hope

An astonishing fifty-eight (58) expert diplomats, career EU Ambassadors, know enough to say it is the right thing to do. They put it at number 3 of their nine recommendations. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Shameful beyond words. "Life expectancy at birth reportedly declined by approximately 35 years in 2024.2 This represents a greater collapse in longevity than that recorded during the genocide in Rwanda." Break the selective silence on the genocide in Gaza www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

"Time has run out." "The moral obligation is palpable. The legal obligation is also clear." These are our two leading experts on famine and starvation in war (in my opinion).

Another strong, beautiful truth amid a genocide: “Palestine is already recognised.” To recognise, by Khawla Badwan, reposted with alt text

All those (especially) outside Ireland take note. This Government talks out of two mouths - in thrall to the US and EU but under pressure from a public that stays true to our anti-imperialist, anti-colonial tradition. www.rte.ie/news/courts/...

Fedaa keeps working, with little food for her and her beautiful family. Support if you can, help her to continue saving young lives against all odds chuffed.org/project/save...

Despite being injured in his legs, a Palestinian man crawls a long distance without a wheelchair or any aid, searching for food amid the ongoing Israeli-imposed famine and siege in Gaza. This video has tore my heart apart wth are we allowing to happen?😭

Can I get my Irish friends to amplify this please?

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral. This tragedy must end now. Mirjana Spoljaric, ICRC President: ms.spr.ly/63327sGyPt

Protesters in Tel Aviv took to the streets carrying flour bags and pictures of malnourished children from Gaza, calling for the end of the war on Gaza and the hunger. #protest #TelAviv #Gaza #hunger #IsraelGazawar #Israel

Exciting to hear the #ICJ opinion on state obligations to address the #ClimateCrisis. We provided support to Palestine's delegation, and while the main ruling didn't address conflict emissions, Judge Cleveland's separate opinion did. www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul... #PERAC #IntLaw

IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.

There is power in seeing people, in recognising our common humanity. This thread gives context to the fundraisers from Gaza. Ultimately, even if you are not in a position to give, continue to witness, to build relationships and to recognise the personhood of Palestinians trying to survive a genocide

The language of rights, childhood, law, interconnectedness, social responsibility, impact, ethics, moral standards, truth telling, humanity, feminism, interculturality, making kin on a broken planet All those in disciplines associated with this language Where is your language?

During these minutes, perhaps another heartbeat has stopped, and another soul has been extinguished in the Gaza Strip due to hunger and bombardment. Gaza is dying of starvation.

The World Food Programme (WFP) has confirmed that Israeli forces opened fire on starved civilians gathered near a WFP humanitarian convoy in northern Gaza. qudsnen.co/wfp-israeli-...

Here are Alaa's twins, before the genocide came. Now Ella is having seizures, and Ellen can't stand from malnutrition. If you, like me, are in the United States, WE are doing this. This is done with our weapons. Please help save these precious little girls.
