Saw video from Malaysian friends of ours of rioters battling Gardai in an estate. They were worried enough to have their bags packed ready to leave.

There needs to be a legal reckoning for all those who actively committed genocide with a foreign military.

The study of voting patterns is called psephology, alluding to how the ancient Greeks voted by placing a pebble (‘psephos’) in the jar of their preferred option. I hereby proclaim the birth of psmartology.

A full blown fascist riot results in 6 arrests. 8 women were arrested by the Gardai during the peaceful Mothers Against Genocide protest outside the Dáil. Tells you everything you need to know.

genuinely think FF and FG might be endangering some of the "soft" pro-EU sentiment in ireland by using this "anti-EU" attack line on connolly a lot of her criticism looks reasonable at the moment. increasing closeness to NATO, complete failure on gaza – do they want people to really scrutinise?

Just spit out my breakfast in the middle of Morning Ireland as RTE says something vague about the "cab file" rule and then says that the truth lies somewhere between Catherine Connolly and Fine Gael's position. Reader, barristers are not their clients. Full stop: www.lawlibrary.ie/statement-fr...

The fact Starmer has spoken up more for some foreign football hooligans than British citizens captured in international waters a few weeks ago speaks volumes

People don't realise how malicious the 'reforms' proposed by Heather Humphreys to disability supports were. Very few people appreciate the work put in by disabled activists to resist those reforms or the lasting damage caused. No apology or even acknowledgement, HH is not a President for all #Áras25

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

“Stay with Gaza even after the war ends.” Palestinian journalist Saleh Al-Jaafarawi sends a heartfelt message of thanks to everyone who supported, stood by, and protested for Gaza and the Palestinian cause.

There’s your Glossy Ibis (North Bull Island, Santry Outflow)

Prices dropped 25% during the Great Depression. I hear everyone had a great time.

So is it the position of the 'paper of record'? That the cab-rank rule is bad? And that Deputy Connolly should have ignored it? And risked disciplining from Bar Council for breach of professional ethical obligations?

jokes on them because I'm going to be shouting from the rooftops "if it helps artists that much why can't everyone get it"

A small fire at the front of the bookshop was started last night after rubbish bags that were awaiting collection were set on fire. The guards don’t have reason at this time to believe it was a targeted attack. Thankfully the damage was limited and everyone is safe. We are open for business as usual

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

can’t wait to hear her say she’s being silenced as head of a broadcast news network

A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

The Israeli military targets hospitals and multistorey buildings as it intensifies its offensive to seize Gaza City.

YES IT FUCKING DOES YOU ABSOLUTE CLOWN

If the only lesson that politicians learn from the Very Expensive Bike Shed Story is "don't build any bike sheds ever", then that's a disaster. This is significantly lower in planned cost, and the tender hasn't even been awarded yet.

it's also likely that there are many forces in Irish media who were desperately looking forward to a month of headlines and tension around things like trans rights, gay rights, abortion rights, and resurgent Catholicism. now they're stuck with a month of the triple lock and i think they're in denial

Unsurprisingly in this "the left is as bad as the right" bollocksology Jim doesn't mention how the "left" have misused the Irish flag. Fuck sake. #ireland #arás25 #speirgorm

Israeli occupation warplanes destroy the Italian Tower in Al-Nasir neighborhood, Gaza City. The tower included 50 residential apartments, plus a commercial complex with offices, shops, public spaces, and parking.

Breaking | Due to the siege of its clinics by Israeli occupation forces, Doctors Without Borders announced the suspension of its activities and withdrawal from Gaza City.

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

People have been able to get nominated in previous elections, those tended to have a record of doing something in the community or are known. So the process works. It just doesn't work if you're an extremist or have no record of doing anything positive for the community. #aras25

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't). My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

🇮🇹 In cities across Italy - including Rome, Milan, Genoa and Naples - tens of thousands of people demonstrated on Monday to "denounce the genocide in Gaza". The protests were also marked by strikes and blockades called by several trade unions. 📸 Reuters

Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, Syria and Qatar are all recognized States Israel has attacked this year with American and European arms while the rest of the West stood by silently.

ICE made Broadview its primary processing center for "Operation Midway Blitz"—Trump's current attack on Chicagoland, during which 550 people have been kidnapped—and they are now planning to evacuate the facility and relocate that work because of ongoing protests. This is important. Protests matter.

No #WeAre hashtag, no world leaders marching arm in arm to protest the massacre of 31 journalists in one attack. This is white supremacy in action www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Also ask yourself which Irish techbros are doing the funding.....

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

If there’s one thing the BBC loves doing, it’s ignoring 2 million British Indians and all the historians - and indeed British Indian historians - and spending a lot of money filming white people gawping at the Taj Mahal and trains in India. Like how many times now?!

Making a list of professors who don’t mourn Redford in the appropriate way in refusing to acknowledge how hot he was

If you're overwhelmed by the amount of Gaza fundraisers flooding your TL just imagine how overwhelmed they are getting the 25th evacuation order while being starved to death and terrorized with bombs paid by our tax money. Choose 3 fundraisers and give $5 to each...even that can save lives. 🙏🏼

The Washington Post has removed a black woman for quoting a white man accurately

so are democrats really just going to remain silent as republicans target half of the country for retribution over a crime they didnt commit? im being serious, when do democrats call out this bloodthirsty rampage for what it is

“Israel is bombing Gaza so intensely the bombs can be heard in central Israel. Annihilation. Genocide.” @origoldberg.bsky.social writes The full-on IDF assault on Gaza appears to have been launched, with reports of a fire belts surrounding Gaza City.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

The Nation on Charlie Kirk: “He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend it was morally correct”.

"Vanuatu's climate change minister has criticised the expected approval of the North-West Shelf gas project as "internationally wrongful" and legally contentious, as Australia's climate record comes under close scrutiny at the Pacific Islands Forum."
