In Northern Ireland, lawyers, community workers, & advocates who support migrants are being targeted by far-right groups. Our new report out today, “Locals Only,” details these threats. @cdsherrard.bsky.social @amanda.ie @finucanecentre.bsky.social www.humanrightsfirst.org/library/new-...

As Cuba’s fuel crisis deepens under the U.S. oil blockade, elderly Cubans are being forced to cook with charcoal and sit in the dark as they wait for the lights to return. Watch below to see how Cubans are surviving endless blackouts www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3e8... 👇

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

The highest taxpayers are not the same as the richest people.

Godzilla & Ulster is now in the archives of the Linen Hall Library. This seems fitting as when I first came to Belfast I saw the For God & Ulster poster on the wall here and it was that very poster that went on to inspire my Kaiju based interpretation. www.leoboyd.com/product/godz... #art #library

Interview today with @channel4news.bsky.social. Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPeP...

The future of this country is extreme poverty, unless we tax the super rich more.

@olamajekodunmi.bsky.social Phil Ramsey and I will be talking about the potential for a democratic public media in a new Ireland at Féile an Phobail on the 3rd August in St Mary's University College.

Make hate cost more. Support our new Crowdfunder: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fight-the-... Show that there is a real cost to pushing hateful rhetoric.

I would beg you to read the whole thread, as I think very few people have seen how fast the foundations of democracy are being torn out in the UK, and how far down the road towards authoritarianism we have already travelled. Sorry to pester you, but this could not be more important. Thanks.

Jim Wells hypocrisy is astounding. He claimed children raised by gay people are more likely to be sexually abused. He blocked gay men from donating blood. He's been investigated by the police for homophobia. And yet he apparently turned a blind eye to Donaldson's activity for years...

100% accurate and passed by in a flash because after all we are talking about an adult woman, and this place only cares enough to say or do anything when we die.

And there it is… www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

The podcast in question if you haven't listened and would like to pod.link/1449762156/e...

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

Our thoughts are with the victims in this case, who have been incredibly brave to bring this forward, to give evidence and to face down their abuser in court. We wish them the very best in their recovery and with their future. Read the full statement here www.wrda.net/blog/stateme...

Today is World Refugee Day. Last week Belfast said: Who lives here belongs here. We mean it. Refugees welcome.

Imagine if this was the other way around and it was a Muslim doing the slashing….there’d be riots! UK is fucked… www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Who radicalised him? Should we deport him and his family? Close the churches? Arrest everyone in his WhatsApp group? Tell me Nigel…Rupert….Lee…anyone!

Opening for this beautiful band on this date at this place

It is extremely annoying the way that Hunt, like Osborne before him, personally undermined the foundations of the British state and now gets to opine as if this mess was absolutely nothing to do with him.

Some footage this of the massive anti-racism “Together Against Hate” rally in Belfast yesterday 🙌🏻✊🏻❤️

Up to 90% of Asylum Seekers in Ireland come in through NI. She's got it the wrong way around.

Look at what you all helped do All our drivers are out delivering, and we have people out getting more essentials, clothing and electronics.

Almost all the excitable coverage I've heard of Musk becoming a trillionaire has failed to mention his enthusiasm for fascism, and his actual fomenting of racist violence on our streets a few days ago. Does nothing mean anything anymore? I feel like I'm going mad.

Depraved, evil colonialist fascists, who are STILL protected by the "state" so that they can never be convicted for their warcrimes. www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

After what I've seen on here the last few days, don't ever let anyone tell you Bluesky makes no impact in the real world. The money this place has helped raise for people here in Belfast has been astounding! The politicians and media aren't really here, but the people who give a shit are.

Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs

Nigel Farage has confirmed during an interview with LBC that one of his first priorities were he Prime Minster would be to scrap the Human Rights Act. Here are the rights British people would instantly lose if he did that…..

Scared and angry at the scenes of racist violence? You're not alone. This Saturday 13 June, join thousands in Glasgow and Belfast standing for equality, dignity and justice.

Belfast knife attack suspect Hadi Alodid was granted asylum under a fast-track application scheme introduced by two of Nigel Farage's senior colleagues. It meant he'd only to complete a Home Office questionnaire rather than attend a face-to-face interview.

this is not an outlier btw, this is classic democrat behaviour. this is all of them.

@clairehanna.bsky.social : "Last week, in a very high profile case, the murder of Natalie McNally, the judge.. talked about a frenzied knife attack, he talked about wounds so bad the cause of death was unable to to be determined. There were no riots over the perpetrator of that brutal crime"

It's unfathomable to me how so many turn sports fanatics these days. "It's just football" they say, as if that covers up any of the warcrimes the US is currently involved in. #BoycottWorldCup www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/worl...

Tax wealth not work

This says it all, really

Protest against the racists this weekend

As paramilitary groups and far-right prepared throughout 2025 and 2026 for a 2026 pogrom, End Deportations Belfast and other groups worked to sound alarm bells. enddeportationsbelfast.wordpress.com/2026/06/10/2...

Masked men have been checking IDs at Broadway and young ones are breaking bricks near there. Stay the fuck away from that area if for some reason you have decided tonight is the night for a drive/walk.

If you have friends who are from ethnic minority communities in Belfast, check in on them this evening. What is unfolding across parts of Belfast is wrong, stoked up by English nationalists with no interest in this city. As well as some local politicians to cover their own failures.

PSNI have protected loyalist paramilitary groups charged with racist violence, from lack of investigations to weak charges if any. The UN called it out in 2024.

A man is fighting for his life after last night’s attack in North Belfast. Our thoughts are with him, his family, & everyone affected. Please read our statement. Don’t share the footage, talk to your children if they’ve seen it, and let the police do their work. 1/2

All referees should refuse to officiate at the World Cup until he's reinstated.

That horrific incident in North Belfast. 1. For the love of fuck do not share (or watch) the video. Think of the victim and their family. 2. This will be used by some people to justify racist violence, give them no excuse 3. Look after yourself and your friends, especially if they're targeted.
