Against law, the Courts Service website published names of some people seeking asylum by “error”. That had made it possible for applicants to be unlawfully also named on X. A spokesperson says it has revised its processes to make sure it won’t happen again. www.dublininquirer.com/against-law-...

What the absolute thundering fuck? What member of the public or trans person can peruse 160+ academic papers and suggested others in a few days? This is ripe for abuse. What other area of healthcare in Ireland has ever been done this way wtf?

More and more people in Gaza are dying from a man-made famine caused by Israel’s blockade on essential food supplies.

Sally Rooney: “I would happily publish this statement in a UK newspaper–but that would now be illegal. The present UK Gov has willingly stripped its own citizens of basic rights & freedoms, including the right to express & read dissenting opinions, in order to protect its relationship with Israel.”

Between banning Palestinians and trans people, while platforming nazis and pedophiles, how certain are we that @moderation.bsky.app isn't just Elon Musk in a trenchcoat?

Everyone from Gaza losing their accounts after Bluesky got mad about people asking to stop the deletion of Palestinian accounts and hiding those posts is just top class petulant baby moderation

I suspect being woken up multiple times in the middle of the night by these loud mobile phone alerts may mean I will never sleep through the night again. Yet people here refuse to accept we are in a climate emergency.

With good reason, given there is one verified case of a citizenship application being refused on the basis of a Garda report where the applicant was the victim

One thing to consider when looking at AGS data on reports of hate attacks is that some immigrants don't turn to the guards because they want a PULSE data check to return absolutely nothing, even their names as victims, for the citizenship vetting process. My sister was like that (now a citizen)

“He has now been given 10 days to get a visa” Good luck with that

What's interesting is that in the North, PSNI have the powers to act on this too, but refuse to. This allows far-right intimidation and violence to spread and multiply. What is the DoJs plan to deal with similar acts in the North? www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/man-...

Statement by President Michael D. Higgins on recent attacks on members of the Indian Community in Ireland president.ie/en/media-lib...

Belfast, this Saturday. The far-right are trying new tactics to make them look like they aren't outnumbered 10 to 1 in Belfast City Centre every time. Important to show up.

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

New article with Niall Gilmartin, @dyutic.bsky.social yours truly which calls for feminist sociology to pay more attention to the border on the island of Ireland. @sociologyireland.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

When the transphobes in power are out of office, don’t ever let the companies who bent the knee and threw marginalized folks under the bus forget what they did when they thought it would benefit them. This is disgusting.

Today's news. Loyalist paramilitaries are all over far-right racist intimidation and violence. in N. Ireland This place urgently needs a new Independent Paramilitary Assessment to update the last one which was carried out 10 years ago. Has the Justice Minister demanded this? If not, why not? [1/2]

..that the UK Gov had gathered. State agents carry out terror acts in the name of intelligence gathering - intel that is never acted upon. As this article states, the terror groups has high-level access to Government (NI Office), this legitimises and prolongs violent terror group activities. [2/2]

South East Antrim Battalion of the proscribed UDA were behind the Ballymena far-right racist violence and pogroms. They are so heavily infiltrated by active state agents that all operations could be shut down tomorrow using a fraction of the intel .. [1/2] www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/...

@migrantsrights.bsky.social found the 4 UK post codes subjected to the highest rate of immigration raids & enforcement are in N. Ireland and routes in and out of NI. BT3 (Belfast – Airport & Port) BT29 (Airport) CH41 (Birkenhead – Ferry to N. Ireland) DG9 (Stranraer – Ferry to N. Ireland) [2/2]

What this will show is a pattern of misuse of anti-terror laws & some of the most disgraceful racial profiling on these islands. These officers have been abusing their powers and shredding Common Travel Area rights. Now make the data public, who is targeted by ethnicity and under what powers. [1/2]

GHF, a startup with no experience of distributing food in complex conflict zones, employs US mercenaries at the sites. They replaced 400 non-militarised aid points run under a UN system that Israel claimed had to be shut down because Hamas was diverting aid. No evidence for this has been provided

Obviously as a Tipperary man I’m overjoyed by the incredible win today, but as an aside can I just call on the Cork County Board, the GAA and the Gardai to address the flying of an overt symbol of white supremacy & racism on Hill 16 today. Crazy that this is still going on and apparently tolerated.

Threatening Ireland: US politicians launch barrage of threats via social media against Ireland over draft law to bring the country into compliance with international law against supporting illegal occupation. Something the Irish Constitution mandates.
