"Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte arrested on ICC warrant for crimes against humanity, this morning." So International law has teeth? We forgot how the right to commit "crimes against humanity" is only reserved for the leaders of western countries and israel. What a world we live in!

On Sunday 23rd March, fascists are intending to gather once again in Belfast City Centre to try and make victims of our migrant communities and wave some flags around. There will be a rally at 1pm to show them the true cross-community movement in Belfast stands against racism. No Pasaran!

Whole entire humans disappeared from your lives, and you shrugged and moved on so you could not wear a mask to work or the grocery store or hit up bars. I know! I’m one of em! Next time you go “wonder whatever happened to so and so,” consider the likelihood they got really sick and you did jack all

If the electricity is turned off, these sorts of items will be vital. So please do help while the Internet connections are still available.

What makes days like yesterday particularly charged with mixed emotions is standing beside younger generations of women going through the same systemic misogyny and violence, listening to survivors having to share their stories again to push for change we should have accomplished by now.

Help Wafa's family if you can be donating, or share their story. Alt for images in quoted post: four pictures depicting the difficulty of life in Gaza. The first two pics show a woman cooking outside, one is of Wafa's father, and one of four Palestinian women and girls in hijabs in front of a tarp

Stop David Draiman from playing in Dublin www.change.org/p/stop-zioni...

#Speirgorm Thursday morning if you're free

70% of people oppose the subsidies, and that figure might be higher if people were fully aware of what this "sport" really entails. Will any of that stop FFFG spraying public money at it even while other countries are banning the practice? No.

"Disney and its subsidiary Marvel are complicit in glorifying Israel's regime of genocide and apartheid against Indigenous Palestinians." it's not just about canceling & not supporting disney+. disney & marvel as a whole that should be boycotted. movies, shows, games, everything.

I'm glad Hazie said this because YOU could be the cause of this for someone else. Even worse you may never know! You spread illness BEFORE you show symptoms. Please, please wear a mask. N-95 or better. I'm roughly on month 6 and praying it doesn't last.

It's wild how "centrists" are still using the "capitalism lifts people out of poverty" propaganda considering that their ideology dictates that wealth is created via exploitation, which necessarily relies on a permanent underclass. The whole point of capitalism is that it doesn't benefit everyone.

With San Patrick's in less than a month, are we ready to have so many visitors from the US spreading germs and viruses?

From CATU DBN: Join the protest Feb 27th to demand DCC take urgent action! The Cromcastle Court flats have been neglected by Dublin City Council for decades, residents have been left living in dangerous and unhealthy conditions while the promised regeneration project has been delayed over and over.

"...Arts Minister Patrick O’Donovan wants to make sure that all projects funded by his department...represent value for money." How are they measuring value? Because they did this for Science Gallery, as though the arts were a business that should be cost-neutral, and it closed.

This app keeps deleting real people regardless of how they post, the only common factor being that they’re Palestinian. This is evil. This is genocidal!

Beware the unilateral decision by our government to adopt the #IHRA definition of #antisemitism. This is how it's being used abroad. #irishpol #spéirghorm #ireland #fffg #palestine

There's no reason for the Irish Government to sign us up to this definition of antisemitism. #Spéirgorm #Spéirghorm : my.uplift.ie/petitions/re...

Guardian Blind Dates is still the Guardian, and still providing advertising revenue for an overtly transphobic publisher responsible for promoting transphobia and hate-mongering of a vulnerable group now under direct attack from the government

Vera Drew's THE PEOPLE'S JOKER - in UK & Ireland cinemas from Fri 21st Feb! 🤡 Details / Listings: matchboxcine.com/thepeoplesjoker Image: Vero Navarro (poster on sale in our online shop 🃏)

In personal news I still have a grin on my face from finally watching The People's Joker yesterday afternoon. Vera Drew's film is a massive achievement on many levels, a rush of energy in the face of surrendering to apathy.

The "feminism" in Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism functions the same way as the "socialism" in National Socialism. It's there to convince you that they're addressing material issues of an oppressed class, when they're actually just exploiting said class to hurt others.

Picket beginning outside the Great Victoria Street branch of Leonardo Hotels. This hotel group is owned by Israeli Billionaire David Fattal and hosted events for the soldiers of the Netzah Yehuda Battalion as a reward for their hard work committing various war crimes and murdering civilians.

Stop mocking disabled ppl, trans ppl, queer ppl, ppl of different races or religions to mock fascists. You are not helping.

Another day another reminder that the most effective thing most of us can do to help stop the genocide of Palestinians is boycott everything we possibly can on the BDS list and No Thanks app. For Congo, stop buying new tech. For Sudan boycott UAE including gold.

The map of all illegal evictions in the past decade is also incredibly helpful. Only one in my small town, but now I know to avoid that particular landlord!

Am trying to think of what a realistic model for tech hegemony divestment would look like. It's pretty standard for people to just talk about DIY infrastructure and "federation" as if these are panacea while ignoring the economic side of the model. Who runs and pays for these systems?

How do I know you're posting here just to promote yourself and not to be part of an inclusive community? You're going out of your way to ignore calls to use of ALT text.

Implying that the fascist overlords are gay/trans as a form of ridicule is not actually helping, funny or lefty at all. It's fucked up actually.

What kind of person looks at waves of rising fascism, homophobia and transphobia and thinks "the left should be nicer to bigoted cunts"?

Nice launch event/workshop/fundraiser you're asking people to attend to, shame many cannot risk getting sick because there's no mask wearing request.

We're in dire need to keep raising money because of the expenses of keeping all of the eSIMs topped up. For the latest about our project: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/01/29/c...

The EU Commission had an advisory group of farmers, retailers, scientists, environmental experts etc, and ALL of them (industrial farmers included) agreed a fund to help farmers move to ecological methods and a fund to pay them to restore nature was essential The EU Commission totally ignored it

The system you live under allows people like Musk & Trump to do the things they do, and if they didn’t exist someone else would to take advantage in similar ways. As it has been so will it be until we collectively put an end to it.

The absolute scum of FF/FG straight up lying about how they had to dilute the Occupied Territories bill to the point of uselessness. There is no forgiving either party or their supporters.

Small things, but: the Odyssey poster is fake, the screenshot about EIon using CRISPR to genetically modify the baby is fake, if we don't start being a bit more critical about and checking what we share we're not going to fare well in an era of disinformation, particularly with the dawn of genAI

Israel has been violently targeting Palestinians in the West Bank and forcing them into homelessness for decades. But the current attacks are among the worst since 1967. “Several refugee camps have been ‘nearly emptied of their residents.’”

If you're struggling to understand how eugenics impacts daily life right now, I recommend going back to the historical records to see how the eugenics movement took off 100 years ago. We need to be able to recognize it when we see it, so that we can push back and resist. 1/20

Of course you never found him abusive Brian you’re not his target demographic shit for brains

The thing is, all of this is just the logical endpoint of capitalism. This is the trajectory we've BEEN on. You allow people to hoard that much wealth, you allow them to purchase that much power, this is where you end up. This was always where it was going to end up. There is no other outcome.

The ideology requires us to warehouse our young people in sheds and rob them of their wages and future, while usable buildings rot across the country.

Re-upping my piece about why leftists should mask- at protests, and in all public spaces with other humans (who we should feel a duty of care toward): www.thegauntlet.news/p/why-wear-a...

wishywashy liberals clinging to norms and a dead-and-buried status quo are going to get us all killed

Registration is open for this year's Disability Summer School in Galway. This year's theme: Disabled Activism in an Age of Far-Right Resurgence. Come join us in figuring out how to secure the rights of disabled people at this critical moment. #DisabilityJustice #DisabledActivism

People outside the COVID informed community see many of us as stuck in 2020 & 2021, while it’s obvious to us that most ppl are pretending to live in their 2019 fantasy where COVID doesn’t exist & doesn’t harm or k*ll or disable people (your risk of LongCOVID increases with each reinfection) 🧵 1/3
