More Irish activists have now been taken by the IDF from international waters including author Naoise Dolan, TD Barry Heneghan and psychiatrist Veronica O’Keane. They are part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

This election will come down to turnout. I believe that most Irish people are on the right side of history when it comes to Palestine. We can have a President who will make the international community uncomfortable in our complicity. I implore you to vote. It's the least we can do.

They say it’s to protect children, but this new EU law would let AI scan every message we send. That means our private moments; photos, chats, confessions, could be monitored forever.

What’s next? It’s not enough. I’ll email too, but facing that wall of WTF helplessness. If there’s any literary folks organising to take action please DM me. I’m not strong in the steering/ideas/leadership side of things, but am good at the boring logistical and admin stuff people normally hate. 2/2

Just rang Dept of Foreign Affairs and was read an official statement that was an essentially a PFO. (BTW The woman on the line was very helpful, and I have no doubt they’ve put this down to someone who has no input or control.) She explained that they were noting the phone calls received. (1/2)

“Catherine is right. I was asked. I gave a strong recommendation. I see no problem with that and I’m surprised that anybody does,” Mr Ó Cuív told the Irish Independent. “My view at the time was that if you want to bring about peace, you have to take these steps. And time has proved me 100pc right.”

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

Good to know that all the left wing parties and groups that came together to support a presidential candidate because they didn’t have the numbers to nominate on their own could have just endlessly complained about the nomination process being broken instead

One of the horrifying features of Daniel Aruebose's death is how the state discovered he was missing. Not as a result of any checks about his welfare. But because of a social welfare claim. A state more concerned with potential social welfare fraud than child welfare.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I don't think it is callous of me to observe that it is weird to see the PM of the UK, the leader of the Opposition of the UK, and the ex UK PM all putting out solemn and devastated tweets about the death of a podcaster who is only a big name if you're constantly on Twitter

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you

Being on the left, for some, means you're not allowed to celebrate the misfortune of your enemies, while also knowing that they would crack open a cold one while they watch you and your entire family tortured to death.
