The worst funder of transphobia, inventor of the “LGB without the T” is going to take over our public assets and make things worse?

Emily Williams, ICCL’s Policing & Justice Policy Officer, spoke to RTÉ yesterday about the death of Mr Yves Sakila. We are very concerned about the disproportionate and excessive use of force and are calling for swift, thorough and transparent investigations by An Garda Síochána and Fiosrú.

If you ever see anyone arguing for more crackdowns on social welfare fraud, remind them that there is none to speak of and that, far from saving money, the last time they opened a tipline for SW fraud it *cost* the state approx €471,320 in wasted investigations.

This is great news.

Its a good morning to EXTERMINATE!

That's Irish Woman and former worker with the Irish Immigration Council, Catriona Graham, getting slapped by the slapped and abused by the scumbag Itmar Ben-Gvir. Fuck him and the cowardly Irish Govt for it's lack of action.

Quote posted without comment.

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir released a video showing abducted participants of the Flotilla being bound and dragged in Israel's Ashdod Port, writing, "That's how we welcome the terror supporters. Welcome to Israel." #SanctionsNow

This is disgusting treatment of the Flotilla activists, the woman being abused at the start of the video is Irish woman Catriona Graham. Our government cannot continue to stand by as apartheid Israel kidnaps, assaults and incarcerates its citizens, it must impose sanctions now.

I haven't shared these guys for a while, but I still love them. youtu.be/7iv19GTEu7A?...

There are over 100 members of staff in RTÉ on “personal contracts”, says Kevin Bakhurst, granted to them where the existing salary structure is not considered adequate to retain their services

The median Irish opinion is that hurting or killing people is always wrong unless they're one of the types of people that deserve it in which case it's clearly their own fault

Not The Onion... 🙃 electrek.co/2026/05/19/t...

wrote about it in Escape in 2022 but being online right now really is like living in a flat owned by a shitty landlord; you have to make a home, somehow, and live your everyday life while trying to block out the knowledge that you have no rights and anything may change in your home at any moment

finding it hard to put into words just quite upsetting I find the idea of Google getting rid of the "ten blue links" format of search entirely, genuinely feels like your landlord announcing he's removing your kitchen and replacing it with a bouncy castle, I need my kitchen, let me keep my kitchen

*Going up to any straight couple* so which of has the kind of walking, and which of you is a bench become man?

You have to be rich to live.

Derek Mooney’s omission from the top 10 on-air presenters’ earnings list was done at the direction of the then-director general Dee Forbes, the current deputy AG Adrian Lynch has told the Oireachtas today @virginmedianews.bsky.social

Of course the plan is working. More fool us for thinking ever-increasing rents & house prices wasn't FFG's plan. #IrishPol

The underpinning problem is Pat McFadden's assumption that people are faking. You can't job coach or garden your way out of Covid or clinical depression or neurodivergence or physical injury.

In the wake of the killing of Yves Sakila on a Dublin street, I have written down some thoughts on violence, explaining how it works, who gets to use it and what levels are acceptable. There are many questions we need answers to. #SpeirGorm philipoconnor.com/on-violence/

S'funny how when goons like that Dublin Cllr Sutcliffe ' accidentally' post social media - it's never a random pic of a cat or somebody complaining about the buses - always vile, racist garbage. What are the odds!?!?!?

Reposting with full alt text, because it’s important that this stuff is accessible.

The "honorable mentions" in the alleged shooters' manifesto are even more scattered. It's a mixture of mass shooters (or attempted mass shooters), white supremacists, Confederate references, and extremist brainrot (e.g., "Noctulian Freakybob").

The alleged shooter's heroes are a mix of white supremacists and mass shooters. Includes: Hitler, James Mason, author of neo-Nazi tome "Siege"; Brandon Russell, former Atomwaffen Division member; the Columbine shooters; James Huberty, mass shooter; Elliot Rodgers, incel.

Both the goal and inspiration for the San Diego Islamic Center attackers, like all those before them: destroy the ties of multiracial social cohesion and pluralistic community. DON’T HELP THEM. Show up for EVERYONE. 12/12 (Offline now for work).

Never forget: the GOAL of these attacks is polarization and social fragmentation. They are meant to inspire other copycat attacks and they are both driven by and intended to produce hate, fear, and suspicion among racial and religious groups. 11/12

Anyone uncritically embracing that framing is being played like a puppet by these idiotic dead teenagers whose manifesto is as poorly conceived, shoddy in execution, and drenched in hateful poison as they were. DON’T HELP THEM. 9/12

This isn’t about Israel and Palestine, or Jews vs Muslims — and the killers were sure as hell neither “pro-Palestinian” or “anti-Zionist.” 8/12

The attacker in Poway hit mosques nearby with vandalization, arson, and graffiti before the Poway synagogue shooting happened. You just heard far more about one the other. 7/12

As with the Poway synagogue attack here in San Diego County a few years ago (itself inspired by the mosque massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand — BOTH attacks cited by the San Diego shooters as inspiration and models): Jews and Muslims are both targets. 6/12

Muslims and Hispanics were DIRECT targets yesterday, but as the shooters’ manifesto confirms — like all Neo-Nazi accelerationists — anyone viewed as “unfit” for their ethnostate is a subhuman target deserving of hate in their eyes. 5/12

🧵 a group that directly inspired the San Diego Islamic Center attack (cited in their manifesto) tried to kill me in 2019. Some since left, now fight this madness and hate — some I’m now (surprisingly) close to. They give me much needed hope in these times, and we all need that more than ever. 🧵

Google is justifying a move to default AI search by saying it "removes friction." The problem is that friction is a necessary part of life and this incessant need to rid ourselves of it is going to lead to so many problems we can't anticipate.

Water privatisation has been outright theft. Whoever is next PM must commit to ending this scandal and take our water back into public ownership. No more failed regulation. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Weirdly there is no outrage about this compared to spending half that amount on a permanent bike shelter that would service many more people.

Long-form analysis of the polls for the Dublin Central & Galway West by-elections. Looking at what the numbers mean for each of the parties & candidates, a deeper look at how transfers can influence the outcome of both, plus what we can or cannot expect to happen based on these numbers.

Still hurt by Bertie Ahern singling out Congolese people, loss of a community member opened a fresh wound, they say. Read more here www.dublininquirer.com/still-hurt-b...

Remarkable to hear RTE mention the words "shoplifting" at the end of the News but not mention the words "security guards" or "choked" or "physical assault." Despite the fact there's no evidence so far of the first and video evidence of the second.

"Along with entry level jobs, we've used AI to eliminate all art, laughter, human emotion, all hope and ambition. We hope you embrace AI. What a time to be alive. Wow, no one is clapping."

[gesturing to someone behind me I don’t know] heh, guess I struck a nerve huh? …so, at Palantir our goal is to ruin life for everyone in this room from grandparents to babies

"I ask all of you to think of it, graduates and families alike, let yourself dream of a future in which we can harness this amazing new technology to eliminate entry-level jobs entirely. Indeed, that work has already begun, and that future is now." /college kid booing intensifies "Wow okay,"

A man has been beaten to death in Dublin for allegedly stealing from a shop. DESERVED, cry the paytriots. A man is stealing $1.3 billion public money in Washington and they're putting his face on the legal tender of the country. DESERVED, cry the paytriots. Make it make sense.

CAIR: “Hate against American Muslims is completely out of control. Politicians have spent the past year claiming all ‘mainstream Muslims’ should be destroyed, American mosques & schools should be shut down, & American Muslims should be expelled from our nation." www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/...

Laura Loomer’s response to San Diego’s mosque attack today (and anyone mirroring her rhetoric — from any and ALL groups) is, again, LITERALLY helping ISIS and Neo-Nazi fascists achieve their goals. Don’t listen to me — listen to THEIR own words: x.com/msentropy/st...

I’ve been screaming about this Nazi Christchurch - ISIS symbiotic extremism apocalyptic agenda for YEARS, and I’m begging you to pay attention to this 2019 thread and beyond: x.com/msentropy/st... Yes, it was on X and so help anyone who comes at me about that ESPECIALLY right now

This is literally ISIS’ goal by launching attacks in the West. And what Brenton Tarrant wanted to provoke by attacking the mosques in Christchurch — which, by the way, San Diego’s mosque shooters copied, down to the writing on their weapons. Everyone feeding into is actively HELPING THEM WIN.

It isn't "racial pride." The manifesto, which I'm reading right now, is a total slop-bucket of neo-Nazi accelerationism with misogynistic rants and multiple sections that are completely unfinished. It lionizes Brenton Tarrant, who murdered 51 people in a NZ mosque in 2019. nymag.com/intelligence...
