Just caught up with the bizarre interview David McCullough had with Steen, where she admits talking to the guy behind the Gavin smears, as he was with other American businessmen wanting to set up a political party here? (!) Have no idea why McCullough didn't have followup questions.

Let me just put on the record that I am extremely concerned that some or all of the peaceful activists on board the Global Sumud Flotilla will be injured or killed by Israel in the coming hours or days, and the world will do nothing either before or after to protect them.

Steen, Sheridan, McGregor et al had YEARS to do the work but they didn't, preferring instead to hurl from the ditch and then blame the referee. They are not serious political people. They are a bunch of staggeringly entitled pick-mes, and the system worked as it should to weed them out. #speirgorm

I'm qualified and practising in Irish immigration law for over a decade and I have NEVER seen as many absolutely batshit, not even arguably lawful decisions from the Minister for Justice as I am seeing now I fear our government has terminal social media brain

Smears and threats against lawyers representing people seeking asylum ramp up. “Solicitors play a vital role in the administration of justice and any threat to them is an attack on the legal rights of every person,” said a Law Society spokesperson. More here www.dublininquirer.com/smears-and-t...

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

With the US now designating Antifa as a terrorist organisation, I think we'll see a lot more of this on multiple SoMe platforms.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

The "it's good for democracy to have views represented" crowd are delusional. It's good for democracy that popular views are discussed and debated. It is not good for democracy to support the platforming of a fringe ideology that doesn't have a sufficient existing elected base of support.

I really really really REALLY want the US who love their Irish heritage to see who's after winning #traitorsirl and what this country is really and actually like these days. Gender, skin colour, you name it. What a fucking statement of trust and faith in people.

Just in case she makes it onto the ballot, it’s good to remind yourself who Maria Steen and the Iona Institute are - fundamentalist zealots who represent almost no one cos even most Catholics think they’re awful

Throwing it out there again. Season two. Could be you? #TraitorsIRL

In other versions they don't reveal their status when banished in the final end game. Much more exciting way to finish when there's always doubt. #TraitorsIRL

Trump's UN speech was an international embarrassment…

While Trump was displaying real-time cognitive decay at the UNGA, we were all cringing. Here is the Swiss Foreign Minister. We are all Ignazio Cassis today. Maybe everyday the Dolt in Chief speaks.

look up why Erikkka Kirk isn’t allowed in Romania. in 2008 Erika Kirk, then known as Erika Frantzve, was involved with an org in Romania called “Children’s Relief International” that was allegedly trafficking children.

Does Tylenol cause autism? I think we should release the Epstein files to find out.

How about third spaces for gender critical people only with all the genital inspections they want and then everyone else can go ahead and continue using the spaces they've always used. Could even get Jowling Kowling Rowling to fund it

Literally every journey I make on the luas has at least 1, if not more people playing things on their phone in public. I mean, In what universe is this not the height of ignorance? The last time I nicely asked someone to stop it, I got dog's abuse (but they did stop....)

1. Fuck these guys. 2. "people of Ireland who feel ignored" - you're not talking about sexual assault victims, children on waiting lists for disability services, emigrants and renters. You're talking about Fergal! Fergal is cross because he saw an ad for broadband on TV with a mixed race couple.

So I'm a transgender woman who is against fascism. According to the Trump administration I am now a member of two terrorist groups. I hate living in interesting times. 🙄

I'm writing The Times's obit this week for Conor Gearty – an Irish barrister who was a founding member of Matrix Chambers, and as a professor at the LSE, one of the world's leading scholars of human rights. If by chance you knew him, and you've a moment, I'd be very grateful for a quick chat.

Jim O’Callaghan wants to please the “house the Irish” types by making asylum seekers homeless

Sadiq Khan spokesperson: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

Maria Steen has spent her entire public life as a spokesperson for a political group that doesn't disclose its sources of funding, so of course she's the candidate of choice for people who pretend to care about transparency

Donald Trump has banned 'Antifa'. People are missing the point, saying how do you ban something that doesn't exist? The point is that now anybody can be labelled Antifa and treated like a terrorist. Just watch, Hitler passed the same laws the day after the Reichstag fire.

RTE News colluding with the extreme right when they describe Maria Steen as a “family rights campaigner” I mean, which families would those be huh? #Áras25

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

"Fight the pain" Pay close attention to this kind of language because normalising and/or belittling women's pain is rank misogyny

They will never attribute autism to something that Dads do. Or some shortfall in public services or environmental standards. They will wonder aloud with no evidence or bad evidence, blaming stuff they already dislike, and somehow always manage to stay in their "mum's fault" lane.

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't). My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

Are you okay with this, GOP? Wait, don’t answer that.

There are no words for how much I despise these fucking people. The absolute dregs of humanity.

Faye, it's only a game! And you surely knew what you were getting into! Good riddance. #TraitorsIRL

Jeez Siobhan, throw Vanessa under the bus why don't ya??? Skipping gleefully...#TraitorsIrl

The scary thing about this survey is how every single demographic is becoming significantly more transphobic.

The important thing about this chart, are the red lines. In every graph anti-trans views have grown. In most countries young adults [18-24y] are progressive, this chart shows that this is not the case in the UK. This is shocking & suggests transphobia is here to stay.

Making trans people into a “third” category is a human rights violation. Just so we’re clear. If your “compromise” position is a human rights violation, you’re a monster. If it’s also unworkable and impossible to implement safely then you’re also an incompetent minister.

This really goes to show they don't understand the law. Its already implemented. Trans woman are no longer included in the quota for mandatory percentage of women on public boards in Scotland.

Saying that paracetamol/Tylenol in pregnancy contributes to causing autism is both misogynist (pregnant people, mostly women, aren't allowed pain relief; it is their fault if their baby is 'wrong') and ableist (autism is seen as a bad thing). Just more examples of fascist logics in the wild.

We're at the start of the 'only the economically productive deserve to be housed' stage of things. Except for Troy, who needs many houses for some reason. And his parents (you'd hope).
