Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

And here is the man who launched the 'spoil the vote' campain with Declan Ganley. In this clip, Michael McCarthy, who has a million followers on Instagram, says we need more nuance regarding H1tler. #spoilthevote

Just so people realise who was behind the 'spoil your vote' campaign... This article appeared in Gript, which is owned by multi-millionaire Declan Ganley, who was given ample air time on our national broadcaster prior to the presidential election to spout his grievances about the candidates.

Just a few minutes ago I scrolled past the image of a mother clutching her son in the shadow of two gun men prior to being shot, an image of two children murdered by the IDF last night and an add for a 50% discount on a meditation app for 'World Mental Health Day'.

So there you have it..... the Burkes are controlled opposition, promoting a vote for Heather Humphries and doing what the far right always does.... taking away votes from the left to keep the establishment in power.

Peace Camp at Shannon Airport this morning as 22 Irish citizens are held hostage in the notorious Ketziot prison in Isreal, after being illegally taken in international waters. Not a peep out of our spineless Government. They are too busy on their knees in front of Donald Trump.

Brave flotilla activists have been taken hostage by Israel. The illegal interceptions on International waters are yet another war crime to add to genocide, starvation and ethnic cleansing. Call your politicians. www.clare.fm/news/gaza-bo...

Saturday, 6th September at Lahinch beach..... come and show your solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla. Bring your flags, pots and pans.

CMAT bullying Bertie Ahern out of the presidential race sets a dangerous precedent and will only play further into the hands of Vladimir Putin | latest by me in tomorrow’s Irish Times

Clare-based poet travelling with a Gaza-bound international humanitarian aid flotilla admits she’s nervous, but remains determined to deliver vital supplies to the Palestinian people. www.clare.fm/news/clare-p...

In February 2019, finance minister Paschal Donohoe had a secret "confidential call" with his Israeli counterpart to assure him the government would "block" the Occupied Territories Bill. The AIPAC sessions took place just one month after Donohoe made the call. www.ontheditch.com/perhaps-the-...

Wishing good luck,safety and success to everyone involved in the flotilla. You are the best of us. clarechampion.ie/clare-activi...

Strong stench of hypocrisy off this. Late and lying: the EU *accepts* whatever Israel does. If it did not, it would act. It does nor.

There are lots of environmental battles going on in Clare right now. The proposed data centre for Ennis is one, but one that is less likely to grab the headlines is the proposed 'development' of Ennis Post Office field, our little island of biodiversity in the town. youtu.be/EEZKsEUW2jQ?...

Why does this anti-trans agitator want his book nominated for a prize that (until now) celebrated the T in LGBTQ+? Accountability is not bullying. Other authors are more than entitled to withdraw their work from something that doesn't align with their values. www.thejournal.ie/over-800-aut...

🇵🇸🇮🇪 Famine Solidarity Event 🇮🇪🇵🇸 Tomorrow (Sunday) at 1pm. Lahinch Road, Ennistymom Our own history of deliberate starvation by an occupying force and the horror of watching it happen again in the 21st century should have every Irish person screaming for justice. This is genocide.

What to do if you experience or witness a racist attack.

This survey is worth putting around to your arty (farty or party) friends. Closing date Sept 5th. Basic income for the arts must be extended and expanded or else working class people are largely locked out. ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Lots of super events coming up in Clare. A Gathering for Good in Carrigaholt on 6th September. Food and music as part of 'One Plate for Palestine' initiative. (Back after a short hiatus and intending to liven up this page!!!)

Legends at the Shannon Peace Camp today, protesting the use of Shannon Warport by the US military industrial complex. They will be there until 6pm tomorrow (Sunday) so feel free to call down and lend your support.

Please sign the petition to let the kids from Palestine come to Ireland to play GAA. The last minute refusal of visas is a vile cheap shot by the government. Clare organisers and host families have been planning and organising for months and are furious and devastated. my.uplift.ie/petitions/le...

Big up to the legend who swam out to Crab Island off the coast of Doolin today to put up this flag and pole. Great sight for the tourists on their boat trips. #TheBannerStandsWithPalestine

As seen in Ennis, Co. Clare today. #EnactTheOccupiedTerritoriesBill #chequebookORchildren

Adjourned until 2nd July. Judge taking a hard line. From the Shannon to the sea, keep the Banner imperialism free. #USMILITARYOUTOFSHANNON #DEFENDIRISHNEUTRALITY #FREEPALESTINE

In Ennis this Saturday... ☮️🕊☮️🕊☮️🕊☮️🕊☮️

More far right hypocrisy. This is the same Scott Delaney who claims that immigrants are causing crime in Ireland. Once, the biggest ecstasy dealer in Dublin, Scott has asked his druglord friends to get involved in the National Party and led the protests at Crown Paints (which went up in flames). 🔥🔥🔥

'I urge the parties to return to talks to ensure an immediate ceasefire', says Simon Harris in a press release today about the successful evacuation of sick children from Gaza. IS HE FOR REAL???? How can he STILL be both sidesing this genocide when Israel's intent has been declared and made clear.

Remembering Bobby Sands on the anniversary of his ultimate sacrifice.

⚠️⚠️VENUE UPDATE⚠️⚠️ Mulgrave Street Court 4pm NOT Newcastlewest

Supporters outside Ennis Garda station, where the May Day Three were held for a second night in relation to their direct action at Shannon Airport. COURT SUPPORT CALL OUT Saturday May 3rd 4PM Newcastle West District Court Co.Limerick Our comrades need to feel our support for their sacrifice.

Hard not to be sad about the racist march in Dublin yesterday but all the more reason to support the targeted communities. Let's celebrate our friends and neighbours, together in joy and solidarity.

Put the blame where it is deserved... on the government. Don't be manipulated into hating those on the bottom. Punch UP ✔️✔️✔️⬆️⬆️⬆️ Not DOWN ❌️❌️❌️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Saturday 26th April at 1.30pm The GPO. Dublin City #UnitedAgainstRacism ✊🏼✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾

Tomorrow at Lahinch. We cannot fall silent. Palestinians do not have the luxury of taking a break and looking the other way as this genocide continues.

Micheál Martin obviously felt he had to prove his support to the Zionists he met in the USA. This barbarity in addition to effectively dropping the OTB and adopting the IHRA definition of anti-semitism proves the current government's support of genocide. SHAME ON THEM ALL

Just a reminder that immigrants are not the problem.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great to see the creche creeper get a conviction. He was one of the spreaders of hate-based fear mongering about the residents of Magowna House which resulted in a deeply disturbing bullying and intimidation campaign that shamed the County. www.thejournal.ie/anti-immigra...

Huge support at the Ennis, St. Patrick's Day parade for our Palestinian neighbours and allies against genocide.

Absolute legends in Doonbeg today. 🇮🇪🇵🇸☘️🇮🇪🇵🇸☘️
