And here's the irony. There are a lot of people of colour in Belfast who really want to see how we make all our communities safer but they can't attend this 'meeting' because they wouldn't be safe.

Family carers save the State billions every year. Yet too many are facing poverty, burnout and loneliness while struggling to access support. It's time to deliver on promises made to carers.

There are no words that can describe the horror of seeing this happening in Ireland today.

Sport should never be used to distract from human suffering. The Government must show leadership and support efforts to stop these fixtures going ahead. Government could set an international example and say no to sportswashing.

Wanna point out the day after a pogrom this study is being scrutinised with a fine tooth comb on reddit asking if it's considering IPAS applicants. Who are disincentivised or fucking not allowed to work Fuckers would be talking about banker demographics in 1930s Germany

The head of the White House Task Force for the World Cup has defended the decision not to grant visas to a Somali referee and some support staff for the Iranian team. jrnl.ie/7065914

I’m not watching a single match. Not one.

Named by FIFA to officiate during the World Cup, the Somali referee Omar Artan, elected best African referee for 2025, was denied entry to U.S. territory despite holding a diplomatic passport.

This is the essence of whiteness. We are *never* judged in light of the worst of us, while everyone else is. If you can't recognize that, wake up!

In 2022, Irish officials formulated a plan to nationalise Aughinish Alumina, as a 'last resort'. The plant's alumina is key to the Russian war effort, and other European countries have done this already, writes journalist Jason Corcoran www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

We can't look away from the images of families fleeing burning houses without calling this out as a pogrom, whipped up by influential actors who care nothing for the people of Belfast: www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

What happened in Belfast was abhorrent. How politicians have responded to it has given a free pass to the very worst to wreak havoc on the city in the name of patriotism

Not Berlin on Kristallnacht, Belfast on 9 June 2026.

As Musk is encouraging the pogrom to going. I am going to leave here Minister for Justice Jim O'Callahan's response to me asking why the government is using X as a platform for communication where the owner is encouraging genAI abuse material Perhaps the ongoing review can consider this context

'risks" is carrying a heavy load in that headline. US currently having to run promotional adverts to claim people are welcome www.visittheusa.com/get-facts-ge... - why anyone would go is the puzzle.

If Judicial Reviews are made unfeasible, to defend local nature from destructive development, communities will have to resort to direct action: unlawful disruptive protest, getting arrested, and possible jail time, like the Corrib gas protests (2000-2015). A recipe for *total disaster*, nationwide.

A conference is taking place in Dublin on Thursday 11th to highlight a MASSIVE threat to Irish nature. Judicial Reviews have been a critical means for local communities to challenge wrongful, damaging environmental decisions, but they're going to be severely restricted by legislative changes.

Israel has said it struck military targets in western and central Iran, even after US President Donald Trump reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from further attacks

I mean, what is this reflexive victim-blaming baloney?

Trump fecks up again (& again) www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Sure when you're in the security services you have to hide your identity...

‘We stand with Israel’ but we hide our faces.

Threats of violence, crude verbal abuse and Tommy Robinson chants from Unionists and Loyalists directed at the Gaza protest march at Scarva. As always, zero coverage in the British media.

So what were the families of those who died in Devon told?

EFF’s Threat Lab confirmed @WIRED.com’s finding that Meta has deployed facial recognition code to millions of their always-on surveillance glasses.

They look 'involved' to me.

The Israeli army says that the family were "uninvolved civilians."

This is a really interesting use of genetic algorithms. And a smart choice of subject - ducks have long been a notorious identification challenge. 🦆🦆

TheJournal.ie: The have-nots and the have-yachts: Distrust is supercharged in an unequal society

A-seven-month-old baby boy was killed by Israeli gunfire on Friday in the occupied West Bank. Sam Fahd Abou Haikal died and his parents were injured "after the occupation forces opened fire on them on Friday evening" in the south of the city of Hebron. jrnl.ie/7062452

I have this letter for @ipsc.bsky.social in today's Irish Times. There's no way Ireland can play Israel. #StopTheGame

IDF shoots baby; pleads mistake: the infant was critically wounded by the same bullet that injured his mother. His father, Fahd Abdul Aziz Abu Haikal, a lecturer at Bethlehem University, was shot in the hand. They were traveling from Bethlehem to visit family in Hebron.

There's also huge environmental damage being done by this aluminium plant, which FFG have seemed happy to ignore for many years.

Gaza: genocide.

With, we can imagine, somewhat minimal enthusiasm, the Irish Govt finally advertised for an equal pay regulator. But the ad, like all such state recruitment ads, listed different pay scales for men and women. Presumably making the first enforcement case really easy.

Ireland: EPA handed over files on 38 sample sites to local authorities for enforcement action. No enforcement action followed.

“European states are rapidly increasing military expenditure. Defence industries are expanding. Strategic integration is accelerating. Political and military careers are increasingly tied to European security structures. In that environment, scepticism is not radical. It is healthy.” - Sheridan
