Authoritarians, strongmen and dictators: Who is on Donald Trump’s Board of Peace?

Population decline is a warning - but Derry can choose a different future. "Simplistic claims 'Ireland is full’ or immigration is the cause of our problems are not just wrong, they are dangerous distractions. The truth is this region is losing people." trib.al/oq7SVNs

The @hindrajabfoundation.be has filed a complaint in 🇨🇱 #Chile, seeking investigation and prosecution of sniper Rom Kovtun for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The filing details his alleged participation in the siege and destruction of Al-Shifa Hospital. → https://bit.ly/4tF1EJt

Really poor performance on Morning Ireland.

‘Former Washington Post staff writer Gillian Brockell has been tracking the movements of ICE-contracted aircraft and documenting repeated stopovers in Shannon since last May.’ - Colin Sheridan @gbrockell.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

This rules. I love how delighted they all look!

When Yvette Cooper brought in the Palestine Action ban - she did it knowing full well it would destabilise and undermine peace in N. Ireland too. Palestine solidarity has ALWAYS been stronger in the nationalist / Roman Catholic communities. So UK Gov directing action against demonstrators... [1/2]

coverthistory.ie/2023/10/08/r... On this anniversary of Pat's murder its fitting to repost this supplement to A State in Denial from our own Margaret Urwin. Excellent research.

Absolutely no establishment in the North, let alone college or university should entertain hosting any Turning Point event. You cannot rehabilitate Turning Point hate.

www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202... Kidnapped and held in inhuman circumstances by a fascist militia (ICE) in Texas. Is the Irish Govt seriously going to give a bowl of shamrocks to the man responsible in the *hite house on St Patricks Day ?

Alongside CAJ and Migrant Centre NI, I was part of this painstaking work over 3 years for WRDA. Really all of this was kicked off by Luke's reporting and would not have happened at all without it. Proud and delighted to see it come to fruition on Monday.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

"The key was “to protect our servicemen from unwarranted Court action” and there was a particular sensitivity over British troops operating in Northern Ireland..."

Punching Up - Working Class Struggles for Truth and Justice A public meeting as part of the Bloody Sunday commemorations, bringing together families from major justice campaigns to discuss working-class struggles for truth, accountability and justice. Book 👇 workingclassstruggles.eventbrite.ie

Extraordinary testimonies at this Bloody Sunday event of struggles for justice in Ireland and Britain. Well done to the Trust and all involved.

Bloody Sunday. The dead and the injured.

Bloody Sunday 30th Jan 1972. 2026

4pm today 30th January 1 minutes silence at Bloody Sunday monument in memory of 28 people shot that day in 1972 by Paras, 14 of whom died. Not a single prosecution. Not one.

Bloody Sunday Trust critical of Gavin Robinson's remarks about Bloody Sunday families

eric trump, of the trump crime syndicate, sneaked in and out of Ireland last week. Given the row about ICE in Italy & revelation that these goons are 'present in over 50 countries' we should know if he was accompanied by ICE agents? Can this be raised in Dail? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The ICE storm - a year long escalation open.substack.com/pub/christin...

This is the anatomy of a state cover-up of 1000's of killings in N. Ireland. This rancid body is an interface to deny justice, access to courts and independent & fair investigation. RUC / PSNI were participants in conflict & should have no further role. The body should be collapsed immediately.

Today as Remedial Order is being debated PFC has a student doing research on colonial era legalised lawlessness incl the Public Officers protection regulations Cyprus 1956-impunity for Brit soldiers ! We know at least 1 P’down UVF who killed a civilian while based in Cyprus

The tenor of the Westminster debate over the legacy of the NI conflict is utterly dehumanising and othering. The only people who matter are "our veterans" - not people **in the UK** who were harmed through what, in multiple cases, has been established to be unlawful action by the armed forces.

Please read this report on the treatment of prisoners in Israeli jails. Chilling,shocking, scandalous.

German ”assurances” on the Sudetenland. Sound familiar?

The UK Govt is facing concerted pressure over its Troubles legacy reforms. This campaign is dangerously misguided. If there really is no moral equivalence between a liberal democracy's armed forces and terrorist groups this is only because that former are supposed to be held to legal standards.

Don't feel bad. he only invites war criminals-Blair, Putin, Netanyahu etc...

So a member of the trump crime syndicate is due to visit Ireland soon. Lets hope he gets the welcome he deserves...

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

Native Americans protested in Minneapolis today after the ICE abducted four Oglala Sioux Tribal Members. Three of them are still missing. (1/17|26)

Important letter from Irish doctors in today's Irish Times, Helen McEntee has been to Rafah, she must see that money is not enough, our government must sanction apartheid Israel for its genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people. #SanctionsNow #GazaGenocide

Do not let the hunger strikers die! Open Letter to British Government from Irish organisations #FreeThemAll www.ipsc.ie/open-letter/...

This has eerie echoes of the blinding and murders of children here by British soldiers and RUC firing plastic bullets. Will all those elected reps in the US who condemned the use of plastic bullets here now step up and condemn the Gestapo tactics of ICE ?

Justice campaigners to join Bloody Sunday families in Derry

Justine McCarthy: Ireland is not safe from Trump’s vengeance. The least pple can do is boycott his hotel in Doonbeg.

I present to you a workable plan for sustained global peace and prosperity.

‘Some nights I do not sleep’: Families remember 16 sectarian killings in 24 hours in North. To mark the 50th anniversary of the Kingsmill, O’Dowd and Reavey murders, I spoke to relatives of the victims, who are angry at the insults added to injury over the years. www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

Thoughts today with the Reavey and O’Dowd families on this sad anniversary. And tomorrow with the Kingsmill families.

Trump is without exaggeration the most dangerous world leader since Hitler. A rogue president leading a rogue state.

#speirgorm 🇮🇪 Irish friends, family & neighbors: kick him out NOW! Ban him & his organization from your shores. If you dont act early, you will become as fascist as America before you know it! #SaveDemocracy www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...
