Lemass wasn’t the absolute worst (as FF Taoisigh go) but he did introduce the 1935 Conditions of Employment Act which restricted women’s access to the workplace. His biographer says he was sexist & regarded women’s employment as ‘contrary to the Irish way of life’, so that’s a no from me. #speirgorm

Despite one of their own commissions finding Israel guilty of genocide literally 2 months ago, the UN takes the keys of Gaza from Netanyahu to hand to Trump. After all the cruelty visited on Palestinians in the last 2 (read: 80) years they still let the oppressors decide the fate of the oppressed

It is interesting that he chose to harrass Connolly, who has never been in government, rather than Humphries, who was a cabinet minister when the Gender Recognition Act was passed. It's almost like it's not really about what he says it's about, isn't it?

One thing this election seems to be showing is that the influence of the Indo, Mail etc has declined considerably. Nobody is listening anymore. #aras25

Great letter in today's Irish Times. We have watched politicians and media enable apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians for almost two years. #GazaGenocide

Every day, Israel deliberately massacres unarmed civilians it has deliberately starved. How is this possible? Because instead of framing Israel’s atrocities as obscene outrages demanding urgent action, the Western media has normalised Israel’s atrocities.

If you’re Jewish, sign this. If you’re not, spread the word. Everyone should donate.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Really powerful summary of how the Right have been so successful in cohesive action recently, as compared to the clear lack of same on the Left! (Thanks @deshocks.bsky.social for the reminder to read it!) www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/colu... @irishexaminer.bsky.social

Today, I visited the 🇱🇧 border with 🇵🇸 So close I could almost touch it, feel its pain, see its splendour, and anticipate its luminous future. Because I know in my heart I will be there soon enough. I will cross the border & meet my brothers & sisters in a free Palestine. Inshallah 🇵🇸✨️🇮🇪
