"One of the suspects in today’s shooting at a San Diego mosque took a firearm from their parents’ home and left a suicide note that contained writings about racial pride, multiple law enforcement officials briefed on the latest told CNN."

A heartening tale of a scummy litigant and their equally scummy AI grifting lawyers getting their comeuppance.

I'm just curious, do people on here know that there are more than 2 ways to look at sex work? That we don't have to be victims OR "empowered"? That we can hate our jobs and still deserve decrim & labor rights? That we can be anti-work & anti-capitalist? That you can be a feminist & also support us?

I am always disappointed by elected representatives and so I am convinced one day President Connolly is going to disappoint me too Today is not that day

In Kansas, a judge looked at the medical evidence on gender-affirming care and found the evidence simply does not support the state ban on these treatments. Don't believe the propaganda. Youth trans care is not a particularly tricky or nuanced medical question. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

On the one hand I really wanted them to somehow both lose. On the other hand, this is VERY funny.

The Irish Network Against Racism says it is very concerned that excessive force may have been used against a Congolese man who died following an alleged shoplifting incident in Dublin last week.

Dr Margaret Connolly, the sister of President Catherine Connolly, is among a number of Irish citizens detained by Israeli forces after a Gaza-bound aid flotilla was intercepted in the Mediterranean this morning, organisers have said. jrnl.ie/7043338

Too many immigrants in Ireland says leader of a party that thinks THIS is food

Okay one more

There is no shortage of people, birth rate concerns are racist nonsense. If countries are worried about aging populations and having enough people to run their economies all they have to do is figure some numbers and stop being so fucking xenophobic. Let people move freely.

Irish early summer is just Irish winter but with more daylight hours to stare at the rain

Maybe the Independent might have served its readership better by asking him about the collapsing Legal Aid Board and the crumbling prison system he oversees.

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

Go get ‘im tiger

One of the big post-repeal projects of this lot has been an attempt to see to it that women in a crisis pregnancy are forced to set out their reasons for seeking abortion in writing first. Why? Because they think they're meant to be the ones deciding.

misunderstanding their story has led the Starmer government to destroy itself. Telling the correct story isn't a communications job. In politics, making sure your story of your own world around you is grounded in reality is the difference between success and failure www.thegist.ie/the-gist-bri...

I don't trust violent misogynists to be the arbiters of what's considered "crazy". Considering they think women having access to abortion is extreme, I'm very nervous about what consensual material big Jim here would deem "crazy". #spéirgorm

I see people posting Eurovision content or watching channels or streams watching it. No. We boycott it until genocidal states are kicked out of it. #Eurovision #BoycottEurovision

If he'd dumped several farm vehicles there and racially abused women feeding the homeless instead of wedging a poster in the railings, the State might have given him a pile of cash.

Our Celtic TV went out on the 97th minute 😭😭😭😭🤣

A new far-right terror attack in the UK has been confirmed in court. Alina Burns, then 18, tried to behead an Iranian refugee who was standing outside a barber's shop in Bristol with an axe The attack took place on 2 August 2025 but a judge did not rule on 'terrorism connection' until today

The far right are now against dogs? It's hard to keep up.

🎯 It’s like all those people who wrote “she was only 10” on their presidential ballots and then wrote-in Maria Steen, the candidate of the organisation responsible for the overwhelming majority of sexual assaults against 10 year olds in this country

'Remind me again, whose decade of leadership left Ireland in such a precarious position as to be so gutted by the 2008 financial crisis that we never really recovered? Was it the Congolese, or am I remembering that wrong?' This week's column on BertieGate2026, with a smattering of Micheál.

Absolutely incredible headline.

Not going to share it for obvious reasons but by God is Steenson’s leaflet embarrassingly full of typos #speirghorm

I've been reporting on this issue for a long while, putting FOI after FOI request. Does this piece credit all that reporting once? Nah. ofc everything these guys do is original. Sigh.

​“A landmark Federal Court ruling that the exclusion of a transgender woman from a female-only app constituted unlawful gender identity discrimination has been upheld on appeal.” This is very welcome news from Australia! Excluding trans women from platforms designed for women is discrimination. 🏳️‍⚧️🇦🇺

The "it's not about racism, it's about a properly managed immigration policy," line which is almost word for word the current defence of FF/FG, Sinn Féin, Aontú and II by their supporters and adjacent columnists. You're in great company folks.

A. lived in Germany since he was two months and last year gained German citizenship. Now he’s been stripped of it because of pro-Palestinian Instagram posts, in a disturbing legal case that points to the rise of citizenship-on-probation. My latest @jacobinmag.bsky.social jacobin.com/2026/05/germ...

‘The sanctions against Albanese were never only about her. They were about sending a message: speak truth to Israeli power and the empire will come for you. The temporary court victory is welcome, but the deeper fight continues.’

The former party activist urge to join a campaign, any campaign, just so you can go to the count again #speirghorm

Can someone please explain to the *Minister for Justice* who the Refugee Convention was designed to protect? Hint, it is not (primarily) people “fleeing war”.

New research shows that more people abandoned Labour because they were too tough on immigration - and because of their support for Israel - than because they were too soft on immigration.

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

Of course it was a Brit

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Person from Canada here to remind you that as a nation you do not need to have any laws about abortion, just as you do not need to have laws regarding gallstone treatments. It's a medical procedure, and only fascists think otherwise.

Barry Ward is a barrister but the Health Minister claims the bill was legally flawed 🤔

Fine Gael TDs Grace Boland and Barry Ward and Fianna Fáil TD Erin McGreehan voted in favour, according to the Irish Times. Well done to them #spéirghorm www.irishtimes.com/politics/oir...

This is pretty much my entire TL today.

Personally, I think we have, and certainly have had, 'too many' people like Bertie. #Spéirgorm

I fucking hope it does

Make wearing, buying, or selling these things an offence. Just do it. There’s no social value to them whatsoever, only harm.

"This bill has no democratic legitimacy" my brother in Christ do you understand what a fucking Parliament does

Sinn Féin continues to ensure I never vote for them ever again. They are increasingly conservative, regressive populists with no clear ideology or recognition of the issues affecting working class people. It is disgusting that they continue to wish to dilute women's rights and bodily autonomy.

if you specifically say "people from the congo" shouldn't be allowed into ireland than roger casement's ghost gets to make your life a living hell. think that's in the bylaws

This is a long shot because this isn't the old twitter, but I'm looking for history articles/books that look at cases of British/Irish settlers/squatters being prosecuted for crimes against Indigenous/colonized people. It can be anywhere in the world, but ideally the late C18/early C19.
