Well done, Norway!

I gather Niall McConnell has thoughts about Bród na Gaeltachta but, as you might expect, it was just as ABSOLUTELY EPIC as everything else he dislikes! Bhí, tá, beidh, go deo, Aerach, áiteach, gaelach, beo!💖🇮🇪🏳️‍🌈🇮🇪💖🏳️‍🌈🇮🇪🏳️‍🌈💖

NION Women is proud to stand alongside a coalition of UK women’s organisations in a joint statement on the EHRC’s updated Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations. Read here 👉 notinourname.org.uk/womens-organ...

Giving a tour for Limerick Pride next Friday. Made the poster, it may be rubbish but no Ai was used in its production.

Transphobes don't give a damn about fairness to girls & women. They're anti-feminists who literally believe men are just naturally better at... everything.

Does Stella think that boys can hold their arms, like, stiller or something???? What a nonsensical statement.

For 1000 days Israel has barred international media from Gaza, this despite several so-called "ceasefires". Fantastically wealthy and influential international media has never attempted to defy Israel's ban. They can't possibly be afraid Hamas will shoot them. What is going on?

While legislation to ban conversion practices stalled under five prime ministers, organisations promoting the practice spent an estimated £2m

I'm sorry, Lyra. I'll never forget how angry you were in my car, talking about how many people's families and loved ones were denied justice because of the culture of intimidated silence that surrounded paramilitary murders in Northern Ireland. It's dark that you have now joined that long list.

This is what a well designed Vacant Homes Tax looks like 🏚12k homes back into use 🏘️36% vacancy rates reduction 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦20% more rental home 💰$231m raised over 3 yrs This is what Vancouver's 5% VHT achieved despite only a 0.9% Vacancy Rate #DerelictIreland#VacantIreland

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

The biggest issue *some* journalists have with Bluesky is that here they are treated as equals.

this guy is the co-founder of Airbnb

The Irish govt: "there's a climate crisis, please try to reduce your driving! 😊🤗" Me: "I would like to get public transport between cities after 8 pm" Irish govt: " fuck off. Fuck you. What? Seriously? Fuck off. Don't talk to me. Just don't use your fucking car, I don't care."

On an unrelated note, Aldi do a lovely tomato relish, and you can get a red pepper and caramelized onion one as well.

The Coast Guard said that, per Sail4th 250, no political messages were permitted, that the organizers asked them to be removed, and that Clearwater refused to take down the banners. Clearwater said they were never asked to take down the banners. Sail4th 250 said they did not ask them to leave.

And here's the story by me and my colleague Jeff Simms. We spoke to folks on the Clearwater as well as the Coast Guard to find out why the sloop, a famous symbol of environmental advocacy, was removed from today's tall ships parade. Their stories do not match up.

The Coast Guard just removed the Clearwater from the tall ship parade in NYC for having "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions” banners. They were escorted out by the Coast Guard, US Navy, and NYPD. www.instagram.com/p/DaYOP8OlIq...

Quick, everyone into the reflecting pool!

EHRC says 'sex questioning' will be "rare and exceptional" – but evidence suggests it's increasing already 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/ehrc-says-se...

Can anyone explain to me why TERFs are obsessed with the possibility of a theoretical trans prisoner posing a risk to female prisoners, but not with the very obvious risk that the many male guards in women’s prisons pose? assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/u...

Shannon Airport facilitates ethnic cleansing by allowing ICE deportation flights and facilitates genocide by allowing Yank military flights and no amount of greenwashing will cover for that.

lol Threads banned the new Infowars. Silenced for TRUTH. Everybody go yell at them.

I may write a book about things I should be doing with my life. It would be my Oughtabiography. 🐢💨

new metaphor just dropped

US residents angry at datacenters ‘being shoved down our throats’ are recalling officials. People across the country are pushing for moratoriums, and electeds who approve projects are being punished. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It’s the world’s dumbest cult.

Likewise for Irish Rail updates.

They were obsessed with crushing the left and that meant they didn’t actually spend much time thinking about what they were actually going to do. This is post hoc rationalising of their fuckery www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The two men charged with the murder of Lyra McKee have been found Not Guilty by the Judge. Thoughts with Lyra's family and Sara rn. Justice for Lyra forever.

As a general reminder, Ben Shapiro originally wanted to make "Lady Ballers" as a documentary but had to give up on the idea because no one in the cast would agree to undergo the medical requirements necessary for them to be eligible to participate in competitive Women's sporting events.

theanarchistlibrary.org/library/dema... A 1997 piece punished in french anarchist journal Demanarchie which lists out some of the things Lefebvre had said and done through the 60s to the 90s, launching the SSPX from the headquarters of a Francoist party, praising Franco while he still ruled.

Wow who’d have thunk it, vaccines work 🤔 Great news to celebrate.

you do have to spare a thought for americans who are apparently encountering the concept of "when your country does a bunch of shit no one likes you get yelled at for showing national pride during sports events" for the first time in their lives

The scandal here is people in the SNP were advising a homophobe on how to achieve power without revealing her true intentions and political inclinations.

The anti-vax group formerly led by Robert Kennedy Jr. has been promoting the story of a woman who says vaccines killed her 18-month-old twins. She’s the lead plaintiff in the group’s lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics. Well, now she’s been charged with suffocating the toddlers.

It's a bizarre phenomenon that tends to make people complaining about it seem insane to people who didn't see the flash of the knife. And it's only really ongoing documentation of these activities and the clear murderousness of the ideology being covered up repeatedly that proves what's going on.

Fascism constantly depends on context slippages and lack of vigilance. It's a hand pulling out a dagger behind your back but if you notice odd movements before you get stabbed the fascist will smile and say "I'm so sorry I bumped into you" & go on about his day like he wasn't getting ready to murder

One thing this SSPX thing has demonstrated though is how antifascist blogs serve a really useful function in the long term of preserving the memories that Nazis would really prefer did not get remembered about them and the bourgeois press generally would prefer to avoid covering properly

"Suddenly I revealed I think a large section of the population should have no rights and people held that against me?"

That might be an interesting day out. Remember to bring a tractor with you as that means you're not subject to Irish public order laws.
