Did you notice the 'ceasefire' being utter fiction didn't prevent it being used to quietly squash all the boycott initiatives? They even called off the vote to keep Israel out of Eurovision

With 5 minutes, Paul Murphy dismantles the government and John Clendennen's attack on migrants and asylum seekers with the accurate statistics that contradict the Tánaiste and call into question the true nature of this repeated plea for a debate - even when granted a platform on national television

I 100% endorse this message. The spoiled votes are a 3rd or 4th order story in this election and disproportionate attention and airtime is a measure of the level of editorial discomfort with talking about Connolly’s success and FF/FG failure.

"You’re not pro-EU if you claim it’s controlled by a wealthy elite.. "You’re not pro-EU if you constantly say that it’s destroying our neutrality and is in the hands of a military-industrial complex," Mr Martin said.' Maybe the EU should stop being those things? Just a thought? #Áras25 #Spéirghorm

In this piece RTÉ does not state the plain fact that the cab rank rule exists and that the allegation is demonstrably false.

A reminder that our colleagues in Gaza continue, against all the odds, to serve their students and the international academic community through teaching and research. They are the vanguard of the fight for academic freedom. We should listen to them. aje.io/66loh2

Can you believe that the company Peter Thiel named after the evil crystal balls from Lord of the Rings hired the grandson of Britain's most famous Nazi to head up its UK division?

Bit weird how pushback against ill-informed or biased views is seen as more of an issue than aggressively right-wing agitators feeling vindicated and emboldened. Bit strange that so many people seem more comfortable with creeping fascism than with being asked to be decent about vulnerable groups.

They won't release the evidence because it was shoddy at best. They don't know more than the science that's already out there which supports the use of PBs. It was a decision riddled with ignorance, prejudice and a complete disregard for the human rights of trans children.

Coalition talks must be very intense as they try and decide on ways to continue to ignore stuff like this. Lucky there are so many voters happy to ignore it along with them!

One of the great frustrations of current media narrative is the idea that violence began with the attack by Hamas and the heinous acts that accompanied it. Israeli colonial rule is constructed on constant and enduring structural violence against Palestinians.
