V good article: "The reason our European peers have seen a 12 per cent drop in road deaths since 2019 in the same time we have seen a 31 per cent rise in ours is because we simply are not using the evidence-based solutions that already exist." www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Do people fully grasp that it's Trump who is keeping the straits closed right now?!? I really don't think it's being reported as such - or in a way that properly names this a a standalone thing. Earlier in 2026 they were opened. Now they are closed. Trump is keeping them closed.

"External companies and organisations are free to make direct contact with schools with regard to their own resources" Course they are. Free for all. www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

Over 100 international lawyers (including me) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the UN Charter and may be war crimes. Read the letter here: www.justsecurity.org/135423/profe...

This from a government slow-walking delivery on green transport infrastructure - now, now they are talking about cycling to feckin' work. The shameless bluster of privilege and business-as-usual.

First post #FeedingOurselves article and it's about our Friday fringe event. We brought in Mahmoud Zwahre live from the West Bank and showed his family film. Also, seeds for the flotilla! sustainable.ie/new-site/see...

And a nearby maternity clinic.

Israel is not just targeting journalists, doctors, ambulances, schools ... It is also targeting peacekeepers.

"In the deal announced on Monday, TotalEnergies will give up two offshore leases it had purchased off New York and North Carolina. Trump’s Department of the Interior will reimburse the company the $928m it paid for the leases" Actively making the world far worse www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Violence remains at record levels across the occupied #WestBank. As recently highlighted by the OHCHR, settler violence, often in the presence of Israeli forces, has escalated, driving repeated attacks, intimidation, property damage and forcible displacement of Palestinians. This must stop.

along with *everything else* fertilizer also does this to our lungs www.agriland.ie/farming-news...

Yes, yes they do this.

Part of the #FeedingOurselves fringe in #Cloughjordan - on my land with Mahmoud coming in live by video link. All proceeds to farmers in the West Bank. Just pop along on the night, no need to pre book

How can anyone read any of this and thing - yea, that's normal. We should have normal relations with the country that does this? "Israeli police have killed two young Palestinian brothers and their parents...shooting all four in the head and face" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

yea total total impunity. Look at this language

Total impunity.

"We are suffering." "There is no money, no work. We are in debt, and I have four mouths to feed. What am I to do?" "I have been driving my taxi all day, and I have forty shekels." #WestBank #Palestine #Israel #Iran #Labour #Healthcare #Military #Transportation

“You stood up against ‘mighty’ England with dignity and you won.” West Belfast gathered this afternoon to celebrate "free mawn" Mo Chara of Kneecap after his legal win in the UK High Court. jrnl.ie/6981933

Sinn Féin leader again deliberately conflating carbon tax with the sum total of taxes levied on fuel. In fact, carbon taxes makes up only a small portion of same (which is why we adjusted excise during last crisis). This is a populist, anti-climate position.

On the fog of war as it manifests right now .- yes, it's real. Remember that any Western news outlets operating out of Israel MUST receive clearence for their reports if they relate to 'security' - have you heard them say this? youtube.com/watch?v=VVvE...

Those advocating for the scrapping of the carbon tax haven’t considered the impacts it will have on households across the country who are accessing funding to upgrade their homes to make them warmer and more energy efficient, as well as farmers who rely on Agri-Climate Rural Environment Schemes

Totally on board with my @envpillar.bsky.social colleagues on this. Why must we sacrifice doing the right thing again and again and again at the alter of maintaining business-as-usual? No, we shouldn't cut the carbon tax! Here's why: www.environmentalpillar.ie/suspending-o...

The EP’s envi committee just voted to maintain a standalone LIFE asking for €6.4 billion Well done Now the EC should cissue an emended MFF proposal that preserves this crucial tool, both for adressing the biodiversity crisis and to enable local level constructive cooperation between stakehonders

what does the EU mean now? What will it do? The EU is a trading bloc. Will the EU stick together, like it did over Greenland, or will it allow itself to be ripped apart by Trump/US/Israeli expansionism, imperialism, and colonial war mongering?

I know it's over yonder but good news is balm . Exactly the message and the person for now. Even the green bit was clean air. Of course it was. That's how you end up with bike lanes - you point to dirty air. People see what causes it. Bikes come naturally from this. Don't start with bikes innit?!

Day two headlines on day one = the establishment is spooked.
