Listening to Diabolical Lies has gotten me into podcasts in a big way, and I between their fortnightly episodes I have now become obsessed with @michaelhobbes.bsky.social’s podcasts, so this feels like a full circle moment for me! 🙌🏽

Donald Trump spent the last 10 years claiming "DEI" stood for "Didn't Earn It" and now he proudly boasts about a Nobel Peace Prize he didn't earn. Every MAGA Accusation Is A Confession

He did say Apple & Google should remove it from app stores. He also said the Govt wouldn’t give “kneejerk” response by immediately coming off X, saying other platforms have issues too. I interjected to say those other platforms don’t generate CSAM. He accepts that but said other issues exist.

Gee whiz I wonder why that is? Could it be the constant media scaremongering?

Simon Harris announcing his “They’ve Cancelled Me” media tour 2026 in 3hrs time…

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.

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 🇵🇸✨️🇮🇪
