Richard is an outstanding journalist doing great work, and his key talent is that he simply refuses to blindly accept whatever bullshit people in power try to tell him. When everyone else is trying to find someone to tell them if it's raining or not, Richard is the only one looking out the window.

Accreditation of new Iranian ambassador postponed yet Dana Erlich was invited to FF functions as Israel committed genocide. Taoiseach favours new sanctions on Iran but zilch sanctions imposed on Israel while munitions for genocide flow through Shannon. Western values!

The government's actions (or lack thereof) around Mercosur and the CSAM on X are two more indefensible things that will inevitably get this government... re-elected, probably.

This minister seems to believe that the State has no responsibility with regards to preventing a company, based here in Ireland, from providing the tools by which child sexual abuse material has been generated by its own paid subscribers. A truly bizarre thing to say.

Ireland and the EU should be actively shouting about US breaches of international law right now - failure to do so contributes to normalisation of a new era of colonial gangsterism.

The by-election here in Dublin Central will likely be a interesting contest for many reasons but one to watch will be FF's candidate selection. Very much could be a battle between pro-Martin faction (likely Mary Fitzpatrick) and the anti-Martin faction (likely Councillor John Stephens).

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time. Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike. Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.
