South Sudan stands at a dangerous crossroads. Conflict up. Hunger up. Displacement up. Attacks on aid workers up. I saw it firsthand and felt the scale of this despair. We need access, funding and respect for international humanitarian law. My remarks: bit.ly/4vHf7BC

"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"

Populism is a fundamentally dishonest form of politics, that attracts fundamentally dishonest people. It is a tissue of lies that validates the darkest prejudices, and covers up the most blatant greed and corruption. It generates wealth for the few, and suffering for the many.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Racists brining the country to a standstill this week (under guise of fuel crisis) tried to intimidate one of the great charities in the country last night. MSOÉ have been feeding the unhoused for 11 years on O Connell street. Ugly scenes but beautiful show of solidarity from the people they feed.

Nice work, Nathan Howard of Reuters. 📸👏

Clean water would be a great start...

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

Goals. 👏

Why is any state in the world still trading or dealing with these people? Why are they not ostracised and boycotted on every conceivable level?

“The scale of the nightmare in Gaza and the West Bank is vast. It is her job to somehow absorb and relay it to the rest of the world. That costs her profoundly — more than any American sanctions.” The price of serving as UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Israel becoming more authoritarian and more and more marked by naked apartheid. This new law is in direct contravention of Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. When will the EU stand up for *its own* law-based agreements? Or does Israel get a pass? www.rte.ie/news/middle-...

Seven out of nine child car seats tested in an EU-organised campaign failed crash tests, with only one passing all tests. A total of 12 child restraint systems - nine seats and bases for three of them - were randomly selected in eight countries, including Ireland. jrnl.ie/6997108

Middle East war at 'perilous stage' with strikes around nuclear sites, World Health Organization Chief says

WHO briefing: 3.2M displaced in Iran, over 1M in Lebanon. Overcrowded shelters are now raising the risk of disease outbreaks.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

1. Trump starts war for unknown reasons and without consulting anyone 2. War goes very badly 3. Trump threatens partners unless they bail him out of his self-created mess www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Nobel Peace Prize is surely in the bag for the stable genius after this?

Hard to think a hot pink powder is trying to be *that* illicit.

This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history. Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.

BBC Verify has analysed verified videos and satellite imagery that show severe damage to a hospital, sporting centres, a UNESCO world heritage site and two schools since US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on Saturday, as the number of civilian casualties grows. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This after the Taoiseach admitted in the Dáil that “some price gouging” has been seen, even though Irish oil supplies come largely from the UK and Norway where there is no supply disruption, and higher market costs cannot have fed through so quickly

Thousands in Iran attend burial of children killed in bombing of school. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/w...

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Trump had no choice but to act. The Iranians were just weeks away from obtaining the missing Epstein files.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
