A Dutch court has ruled Grok must stop generating non-consensual undressing images of Dutch residents worldwide and child sexual abuse material in the Netherlands, with €100,000-a-day fines for non-compliance, reports Ramsha Jahangir.

🥁 THE VERDICT IS IN: Doug Ford gets an "F" for failing you in his latest budget. Swipe through to learn why ➡️

We celebrate our sporting heroes but fail the communities that produce them. Children in Dublin’s inner city don’t even have access to a full-size pitch. If we’re serious about opportunity, we need real investment where it’s needed most.

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

The housing crisis is a social catastrophe and it didn’t happen by accident. Housing has been treated as an investment, not a human right. That must change. Everyone deserves a secure place to call home.

One reason people are so exposed to these price increases is because of the capitalist class' addiction to fossil fuels. Any additional renewable energy is miniscule compared to the increased energy eaten up by the increase in data centres. No to data centres. No to dirty fracked gas.

Can we stop pretending the federal government is a passive observer here? Billy Bishop is federally run, federally regulated & mostly federally owned. The City didn’t stop jets a decade ago; the feds did. If jets come to YTZ, it will be because the federal Liberal government wants them #cdnpoli

Doug Ford balked at allowing 4 plexes across Ontario but a downtown airport he’ll override democracy to do so. Politics are entirely cynical.

For the 18th time, the substantial completion deadline for the National Children's Hospital has been missed by BAM. Minister for Health must now consider taking legal action against the contractor to get this vital project for Ireland's sickest children over the line. @padraigrice.bsky.social

Allowing staff to work from home, where possible, has been recommended by the ESRI and the IEA to reduce the impact of oil price pressures on consumers. Govt must listen to the evidence and introduce a real, enforceable right to remote working. @sineadgibney.bsky.social

The Taoiseach says the Social Democrats don't have a monopoly on horror when it comes to the violence committed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. We agree – so when is his govt finally going to match his words of condemnation with action and enact the Occupied Territories Bill in full?

Students can and should be able to express what's important to them at a critical life moment, when they literally have the stage. And frankly, if the Ford government keeps chipping away at their futures, he should not expect them to stay silent. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Today, we're bringing forward a Bill that seeks to enshrine a right to housing in the Constitution. The govt's rent reforms have only increased evictions – making housing a legal right has never been more urgent. Contact your local TD today and ask them to support our Bill.

Low-paid workers who don’t qualify for supports are being left behind. With bills soaring, too many are already in arrears and struggling to cope. Targeted measures are needed now - not delays, not excuses.

People have rights, not infrastructure. And it is our right, as enshrined in the Charter, to hold peaceful assembly and engage in freedom of expression, including in the pursuit of justice and accountability. Infrastructure cannot be made impervious to our ability to exercise these rights.

It's beyond pathetic that our Govt has buried the Occupied Territories Bill while Israel ramps up its ethnic cleansing in Palestine and Lebanon. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael twiddle their thumbs and avert their gaze while innocents face annihilation. @patriciastephenson.bsky.social

In the Dáil tomorrow, Rory Hearne TD will introduce a bill to include a right to housing in the Constitution. If passed in a referendum, it would put an obligation on the State and Govt to ensure that all citizens have access to a decent, secure, affordable home. Housing should be a human right.

One child connected to Ontario’s child welfare system dies every three days. We can't keep children safe if we don't know why they are dying. Instead of answering for it, the Ford government stopped reporting the numbers altogether.

"integrate AI into your workflow..." buddy, given half a chance I'd be scratching on vellum with oak gall ink in a nice dark clochán on Skellig Michael. I have no interest in generative AI at all, I wish they would stop trying to crowbar it into *everything*. Sometimes the effort is the point.

Invoking Bill 5 to designate the island airport a "special economic zone" isn't just overreach on municipal authority. It also allows the Ford government to circumvent all responsibility for harms caused to the land, water, wildlife, and human health around the airport — including future lawsuits.

There's nothing like a sunny spring day in Galway – just ask @hollycairns.bsky.social who joined our Galway West by-election candidate @socialmide.bsky.social for a spot of canvassing this weekend.

Ireland's Taoiseach told Trump: “We have to continue to work to bring peace, a different regime to Iran, where Iranians can live in peace again, the people in the Middle East can live in peace. And you’re doing your bit there, in terms of working in Gaza and so on.”

With the new federal #NDP leader being announced next Sunday, I'm resharing this post from late January to remind NDP members why they should pick @avilewis.ca as their first choice. The deadline to vote is Saturday, March 28 at 7 PM Eastern. #cdnpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/01/why-...

A classic. #UrbanTruth

“You can’t hate up close.” Our communities deserve strong, positive voices that bring people together. Standing up to division and the politics of hate matters. Today, for International International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and every day.

best headline ever

Did we not fight like, several wars about this. Why the fuck does the duke of anything own shit in this country?

This is just getting fucking ridiculous. A fucking retirement village being evicted. All thanks to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil policy. The change in legislation rushed in by FGFF means these poor fuckers have no recourse. OAPs out on the street. #speirgorm #Ireland

Here’s just a small sample of the Liberal government's devastating cuts: 🧵 globalnews.ca/news/1173746...

#topoli New from me in @spacing: If we want to re-integrate old City Hall into the life of the core, let’s turn Albert and eventually James into pedestrian only streets. spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

Last year, there were 20,000 eviction notices issued to private renters. That's the highest number since the famine. And with new rent reforms, that figure is only going to get worse. Will the Tánaiste accept that his govt's policies are causing a social catastrophe?

Reception on the doors has been great for Dan but we still have a lot of ground to cover. If you would like to get involved in making sure the best representative for Dublin Central gets elected go here: forms.gle/BWYxeXSeKqgL...

These are the men and their companies Canada’s Liberals (and Conservatives) won’t tax. 👇

“In short, the expert evidence is clear, compelling, and essentially uncontradicted, that removal of the target bike-lanes will lead to more collisions and injuries involving cyclists… EVIDENCE supporting bike-lanes! @cycletoronto.bsky.social @shoshannasaxe.bsky.social ecojustice.ca/wp-content/u...

Yikes

The Ontario Legislature resumes on Monday and there's a lot to yell at Doug Ford about! Here are a few of my tips to know ahead of time to help keep you safe while you exercise your Charter right to protest: youtu.be/b2lscy3nvTE

Don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth

Our country needs a vision that doesn’t just take the world as it is, but fights for the world we need. Now more than ever, Canada needs the NDP. Our campaign is charting the party's comeback — throwing open its doors to the 99% to build the biggest tent it has ever seen. Cast your ballot today.

🚨 BREAKING! 🟢 Yes: 70 🔴 No: 27 It's official! Scotland has voted for our bill to ban greyhound racing!

To all fuck faces that voted Ford in for a triple, this shit is on you. I want names and shames.

Hello BlueSky! We’re the County #Limerick branch of @social-democrats.bsky.social and we just arrived here from there 😱 We’ll be talking about what’s happening across County Limerick and highlighting the issues and work that matter to people here 💚

CSO figures show that property prices increased by 7% in the 12 months to January. Nationally, the median price of a home stands at €389,000 - an increase of €30,000 in the space of one year - and is half a million euro in Dublin. How are people on average incomes supposed to afford these prices?

The Taoiseach's meeting with Trump was poor for many reasons, incl his call for European AI deregulation. “In terms of technology, in terms of AI we need to pivot more to innovation as opposed to regulation” It’s clear between Grok and military applications that we do not need AI deregulation.

We really need to talk a bit more about the tax system in Ireland. I live in one of the many counties which gets more LPT funding than is raised locally, but the discourse here is that local LPT should be covering a lot more. People don't believe you when you say we get more LPT than we give.

Statement from @holly_cairns_td on the Taoiseach’s meeting at the Oval Office earlier today. “This was a missed opportunity for Micheál Martin to stand up for international law and peace."

Lovely to hear the bit of Gaeilge and Irish music on TV and radio during the Seachtain na Gaeilge/St. Patrick's Day run every year, and would also suggest to broadcasters that they can incorporate those things into their shows on all the other days of the year too, at any time, it's not even illegal

It costs taxpayers ~$130,000 a year to imprison someone in Ontario. That is far, far greater than paying their rent.

Politics is about choices. And the choices that are made now will shape our future. We need to ask ourselves, what kind of a country do we want to live in? With the Social Democrats, the choice is clear. It is the creation of an Ireland where the economy thrives and no one is left behind.
