The response of Micheál Martin and Simon Harris to the announcement of the matches against Israel tells us exactly who they are, the mask is now totally off. They actively support engagement with Israel and openly oppose any sort of sanction. Everything they have said to date is a lie. #Spéirghorm

Someone should ask Mícheál Martin if he thinks the sporting boycott of apartheid South Africa was a mistake

it seems like in the months since the Citywest riots that erupted over a non–Irish man being accused of sexual assault we've had roughly two cases per week of Irish men being accused of sexual assault and, I'm pretty sure, no mass riots

Just for the record, we have a moral obligation to boycott this match. You don't get to murder 50000+ people and stay part of civilized society. "Football isn't about politics" bullshit. Everything is about politics now. The front line is everywhere and everything.

The actual clip of this is well worth seeking out. A very powerful contribution from Brian Kerr, fair fucking play #speirghorm

Finding hard to swallow some Irish people saying politics should be kept out of sport when the British Army massacred players and spectators in the largest sporting ground in the country... It was political when IRFU refused to boycott apartheid SA, it is political when FAI refuses to do so for 🇮🇱

Not once but twice in the past month I have received visa refusals where it was claimed - falsely - that the marriage/birth certificates had not been attested by the foreign ministry. This is beginning to look like actual malfeasance. #speirghorm

While the rest of the world is (rightly) focusing on #ICE atrocities, it's worth remembering that Sweden is expelling teenagers, and in some cases babies, to the likes of Iran and El Salvador. ICYMI - the govt is only able to stay in power thanks to the votes of the far-right Sweden Democrats.

Please have mercy. Even 5 dollars can help provide urgent treatment and medicine. We are holding onto hope, and your small support keeps that hope alive. @lenabella.bsky.social @timsneighbor.bsky.social @wendylyon.bsky.social @albertinep.bsky.social

BREAKING: An ICE flight just refueled in Ireland again. A local activist pressed police to investigate for human trafficking; the plane took off 30 minutes ago. Plus, that MAGA billionaire's jet did another ICE flight, this time to Sierra Leone. #speirghorm gillianbrockell.ghost.io/ice-flight-r...

Jim lives in Monaco as an immigrant so he doesn't have to support the British State by paying taxes. To say "Jim is a Muppet" would be very unfair on The Muppets.

I’m sure he’s a man of his convictions and will address his own contribution to this, right

Well, look at that. Now they WANT military-aged male immigrants to come to the country (when it means Ireland can ship them off the fight once neutrality is neutered)

Eoin O’Malley thinks you’re a punchline.

This is exactly it.

Data from at least one large study suggests that more than 50% of detransitioners subsequently retransition again. I am looking for anyone who has transitioned twice and is not currently cis, to interview for a study I am working on about on retransitioners.

‘The Department of Justice spokesperson said having people wait longer means they forge a stronger connection with the country “demonstrated over time”.’ The proposal to fast track applications for people who join the military shows what patent bullshit that is.

This from the same Government that tried to claim that immigrants weren't allowed to join the military, and fought to preserve that view in court.

Genuinely a perfect perfect song

Places like achill and Killarney that are impossible to find a place to live in create their own political consensus. cause the people who can't find anywhere to live there leave and the people who can are often landlords like MHR himself

Stupid & cruel policies from a stupid & cruel govt that only ever wants to do stupid & cruel things.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

What a cruel slap in the face to the thousands of refugees who already applied for citizenship and have been told just this week of a retroactive change of policy which means they are not yet eligible. #speirghorm

I don’t see European countries lining up to take in asylum seekers whose applications were rejected by the US. Funny that.

URGENT FUNDRAISER FOR A SEX WORKER DEFENDING HERSELF IN COURT. Her former partner is trying to sue her for money he gave to her & pursue coercive control. She managed to win anonymity, but we need to stand up against abusive men who target sex workers. www.gofundme.com/f/help-ms-xx...

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

A reminder that Biden SAT on these files and in turn so did Harris. They knew about these files.

“The wedding of one Cork woman and her foreign partner, which was due to take place in October, is currently on hold after the couple was told that they would not be able to secure an appointment for a marriage of convenience interview in Cork for 18 months.” www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

“The problem before us should not be: "How can we find common ground with racists?" We should ask more uncooperative questions: "How do we find common ground with everyone else to better exclude them” 💯💯💯

IDK who needs to hear this but please don’t ask ChatGPT to draft an email to your lawyer either

Notice the framing of sex trafficking victims as “consensual sex workers” and the simultaneous framing of consensual sex workers as “sex trafficking victims”

I know a whole lot about Bad Bunny just from being online, but I absolutely couldn’t tell you who won last night’s game, and I think that’s beautiful

“To read the files is to realize that class solidarity is real – just not within the class where Marxists might hope to find it.”

The newfound scarcity of lube and condoms is a profound problem in Uganda. Sex workers are suffering, and public health experts say they are seeing more cases of HIV. It shows how Trump’s policies are disincentivizing safe sex and encouraging the transmission of infection.
