AJ Cahill of The Irish People runs for election as AJ Cahill because he doesn't want you to search "Anthony Cahill Galway" or "Anthony Cahill Salthill" and see this story about an ultimately successful judicial review he took against housing www.westernpeople.ie/two-galway-l...

The "thrust" of the SocDems argument is that we trust women. We believe in legislation that is evidence-based. There is no evidence-based, justification for the wait and it tells every woman in Ireland that we don't trust their judgement. The independent review recommends the removal #spéirgorm

So Israel can kidnap you in international waters 1,000km from Israel, then drag you to court? Why is any country anywhere tolerating this disgusting regime? Why are we falling over ourselves trying not to offend them?

#trevorphillips tries to argue that because some people say the pro Palestinian marches are hate marches, they are. @zackpolanski.bsky.social is spot on, there is nothing hateful about marching in support of the Palestinians & against Israels brutal occupation & genocide.

Keir Starmer who 'accidentally' said Israel could cut off water +electricity to Gaza and 'accidentally' made the racist "Island of Strangers " speech is enraged by a Zack Polanski re-tweet.

32 months and 76 years. Free Palestine. End the occupation.

It’s telling that absolutely nobody can convince him to not brag about constantly being administered dementia tests.

Surely past performance can be used to bring their weighting down on tender assessments.

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

In a post promoting the British Army and their actions, Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, actually used footage of Bloody Sunday. There are no words.

26 unarmed civilians marching for basic civil rights were shot, 13 shot dead. Many were shot in the back as they tried to flee. Some were picked off by soldiers who waited for them to try to help those already shot. The UK govt lied that the victims were armed www.thenational.scot/news/2607115...

My brother shared this in the family whatsapp so coming to a work place near you the best email ever

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."

"Enemy from within." "Communists, Marxists, fascists, radical left thugs, vermin." "Garbage" Somalis, "low IQ people." "She's an evil, sick, crazy, b..." Republicans want the left to tone down the rhetoric. Erm, have they listened to Donald Trump?? Zeteo put together this Trump montage:

It's been clear for a hot minute an anti-autism diagnosis campaign is in the works but I am truly stunned they are literally just going for the Detransitioner playbook

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

MAGA accounts are pushing Trump’s White House ballroom as the solution to last night’s shooting. A ballroom isn’t the problem here. Will every school get a ballroom to protect our students?

3/3 That's why I've signed this letter, calling on the Government to take action to ensure the resilience of UK digital systems in the event of interference by a foreign government.

The European Commission is planning measures to help soften the impact of any “energy shock”, including action on electricity taxes, gas storage and jet fuel shortages. More on #VMNews

BTW, for all those liberal types who said "the Irish far right don't do well in elections", here's a bit of a wake-up for you - these lads have 24 councillors, four TDs and an MEP. Start taking the far right seriously - the calls are, in this case literally, coming from inside the House.

After failing to publish data on Irish companies granted licences for military exports to the US and Germany because of “a new IT system”, the Department of Enterprise has confirmed the licences increased by tens of millions of euros between 2024 and 2025 www.ontheditch.com/department-o...

I have a piece in the Examiner today on how content monetisation is fuelling a new wave of online harassment Irish influencers with monetised accounts are mimicking the behaviour of people like Chaya Raichik, the owner of LibsOfTikTok, who has turned online abuse & harassment into a business model.

Did Nazi Germany have a right to defend itself when it invaded most of its neighbours and kept people from a specific religion in concentration camps?

This lad has had more fake jobs than A-Teams Face. I mean c'mon like...he applied to be Garda commissioner? How? C'mon like

Classic story of the housing crisis and the greed which both exacerbates it and is profiting from it. Property owned by the main man behind hip music venue The Sugar Club. Those who play and attend gigs there might take that into consideration. His excuse? "It's a hard time to make money."

22 people. All paying €890 to share rooms. In a converted office. Close to a quarter a mil a year. Be great if we had laws against endangering renters lives for greed.

The US far-right are determined to interfere and influence European and Irish elections. Here’s James Geoghegan and John Dallon, who portrayed themselves as ordinary farmers / contractors, hobnobbing with Kevin Posobiec, an American far-right influencer.

Two of the spokesmen Geoghegan and Dallas meeting with the Irish (Mullally) and American (Posobiec) far right - they are openly showing us what they are.

An excellent move!
