☠️ What Kind of Torah Condones Calling to Shoot Protesters in the Legs? By Linda Dayan 🧵 www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Our nation's largest egg producers ran an illegal scheme to manipulate the market and raise egg prices to squeeze more profit out of consumers and businesses. We secured $3.3 million and 50 million eggs from these companies for food banks and organizations across the nation.

University College Cork which will host most of the EU presidency events due to take place in Cork this week, will be locked down on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...

Bint Jbeil, the historic town center, traditional markets, and the town’s historic mosque were destroyed. Qantara, large sections of the village were demolished, including its historic mosque, Mhaibib was almost entirely razed, including its mosque and historic shrine.

Israel destroying entire villages in Southern Lebanon with HUGE explosions and almost 0 coverage. I can't find any coverage on this besides Al Jazeera and individual Lebanese accounts on X. Same play like Gaza, just saying it is to root out Hezbollah, targeting tunnels bs

#DIBLives #OTD 1922 a huge explosion at the Public Records Office in the Four Courts destroyed centuries of Irish administrative, legal & genealogical records. @virtualtreasury.bsky.social has spent years recreating many of these records & made them freely available to the public. virtualtreasury.ie

Angling Council of Ireland: As many as two million adult salmon returned annually to Irish rivers during the 1970s. Current estimates suggest annual returns of fewer than 150,000–250,000 fish, a decline of approx. 90 per cent over five decades.

This is gutting. I loved the book but felt this review in my gut and chest and limbs and want to take to the streets now, knowing that I am “very likely to lose… and die and be forgotten.”

I'm glad I'm going on vacation today and can take my mind on this stuff for a week. I didn't expect to be so angry after SCOTUS upheld birthright citizenship. A 5-4 split is shameful. And the "academics" who fabricated history to try and justify stripping people of rights are charlatans.

I’m mad about today. I’m mad that justices can’t do the bare minimum to uphold the Constitution. I’m mad that the law and our history, which I have dedicated so much of my life to, is an inconvenience than an inheritance to many. I’m mad that the academy, which I love, rewards and enables it.

I just realised that Galway and Cork are sold out too (!). Info on the others are up here: sallyhayden.net/2026/04/11/t...

Wow, that was truly amazing, the Strawberry Full Moon rising over Ely Cathedral this evening. Seen from Little Downham outside of Ely, Cambridgeshire 😍🌝 I didn’t think it was going to shine through the clouds, but it certainly did 🙏🏻🥰 #Fullmoon #strawberrymoon #ElyCathedral #amazing #Wonderful

Opinion | The United Nations' latest report into Israel's deliberate targeting of Palestinian children has barely registered in Australian media. For those who have read it, the only response is despair. www.crikey.com.au/2026/06/29/i...

Plans, plans, more plans & not enough action. 'We need to move from talking & planning, to seeing evidence-based action on the ground. Until we do that, our waterbodies will continue to disimprove.. Clean water is the essence of life, it’s time to treat it like the critical resource that it is. '

East Fife 4 Forfar 5 was a funny sounding football score from Scotland. Today's 4:5 split in the US Supreme Court over birthright citizenship is no joke.

Amazing what Republicans view as a problem for the American people. Thanks @politicsgirl.bsky.social 👏🏾 #Pinks 🌷

Cliffhanger thread 😀

Come along with me as I explore one of Philly’s most secluded murals.

"It feels that this ceasefire agreement is the biggest lie that has been told to the whole world" Maram, a student in Gaza, speaking to Hind Khoudary

On the day he died, Mohammad al-Halaq had been jubilant about a new school bag he had been given in class, printed with the logo of the UN child protection and advocacy agency, Unicef. @unicef.org reports @theguardian.com “He was extremely happy" says his mother Aliyah.

Glad to have cotnributed to this article about how Israel is spending money on the extreme right in the UK.

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's attack on birthright citizenship. By a 5–4 vote, it holds that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born of unauthorized and temporary immigrants. Roberts and Barrett join the three liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

A shockingly close call on how to read plain English in the first sentence of a constitutional amendment.

Justice Kavanaugh dissented from the majority's constitutional holding, so it's 5-4 on that. But he agreed that the executive order violates the existing federal *statutes,* so the underlying judgment is 6-3.

Final #SCOTUS ruling is birthright citizenship. For a 6-3 majority (Thomas, Alito & Gorsuch, dissenting), Chief Justice Roberts *strikes down* President Trump's executive order purporting to limit which individuals born in the United States would automatically be US citizens; preserves status quo:

First (but *not* last) #SCOTUS ruling is the two transgender discrimination cases. For the usual 6-3 majority, Justice Kavanaugh *upholds* state bans on transgender athletes in public sports under *both* Title IX and the Fourteenth Amendment: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Preview (It gets worse!)

Norway-Cote d'Ivoire: In a 10-month span in 2006, the same conglomerate (Trafigura) perpetrated the same environmental disaster in Abidjan and in Sløvåg, introducing the world to coker naphtha washing - the darkest underbelly of the oil industry. 17 people died; hundreds were scarred for life.

Smotrich: Israel Ready to Build Three Settlements in Gaza 'Immediately' 🚨🧵 www.haaretz.com/gaza/2026-06...

Ireland had monasteries on rocks, Islands, monasteries controlled by the local clan where the arty members did lovely books and invented punctuation and shit. All of the operating independent of Rome, while also arguing with Rome. And then the Norse kicked off...

14/25 Irish synoptic stations broke or equalled their June max temp records in the recent heatwave. 6/25 stations broke their records for any month though most of them have short term recording history with the exceptions of Claremorris and Markree Castle.

Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza on the loss of peoples privacy & dignity

Waaay before the fella known as 'Patrick' ( a nickname meaning 'posh Roman') went on his unsanctioned solo mission as penance for some very bad thing he did but was annoyingly scant of details when writing about it, Rome had sent Palladius as Bishop to the Christian Scotti (as the Irish we called)

The Commissioner describes it as the biggest policing operation in the history of the State. The gardaí have been allocated €125 million to police the six month EU Presidency.

Politicians having power to order other people - the members of the PDF - to fight in overseas wars is at the core of the Govt's intended move away from the UN. Unusually, our law protects soldiers against such orders, absent a UN mandate. This government wants the power to do that. That's new.

Almost 200,000 historical records have been released online by the Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland. The release of the records will cover seven centuries of Irish history and will make over half a million documents free and permanently available to the public
