it does feel like an intense societal problem that the founder of palantir, the biggest survellience company, thinks like this

BREAKING: At least seven Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza City and northern areas as Israel continues attacks across the so-called yellow line truce demarcation. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/p5c13r

Today is two years since Israel murdered writer, educator and activist Professor Refaat Alareer in Gaza. In memory of him and the thousands of beautiful Palestinians whose lives were stolen by the apartheid state, we keep fighting for freedom, justice and equality for Palestine. Let's it be a tale..

Boycott Uber! Don't let them pull Ireland into yet another race to the bottom. The government must establish a publicly owned, not-for-profit app operated by the NTA, mandated to protect taxi drivers’ incomes and to protect customers against Uber's surge pricing. #FightForYourRights

Israeli Forces in Gaza Kill Seven Palestinians in Latest Violation of October Ceasefire

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor. It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores? We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

Myself and my young pals had the best time at the #GaietyTheatreDublin PANTO last night! A brilliant production of Beauty and the Beast; thoroughly recommend for young and old. On til Jan

Universities hope that by offering honorary degrees to prominent people, they will generate lots of publicity for their institutions, akin to free advertising www.rte.ie/news/connach...

Look at this! 171 great civil society organisations and groups have endorsed our National March for Palestine on Saturday 29th, 1pm. Join us, let's show our government that we still demand sanctions on apartheid Israel and an end to our state's complicity in genocide #FreePalestine #SanctionsNow

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Torrential rainfall in the Brazilian city of Belem flooded pavements outside the venue for the #COP30 climate talks. Scientists say climate change is making extreme weather events more common.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Great letter in today's Irish Independent. Almost a year after promising to enact the Occupied Territories Bill in the election, our government has yet to do it. We've been waiting for 7 years. #OccupiedTerritoriesBill "Are Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael serious about passing this bill? Where is it?"

Blown away to have my piece included in this!!! My beloved mother would be tickled pink… *Sally’s Brown Bread* #SundayMiscellany #NewIslandBooks

Personally I've boycotted IsraHelli and US products since the -80s . Didn't have an app for it back then either. Shopping takes a while longer in the beginning. But soon checking "country of origin" etc etc becomes second nature. aje.io/bqhuah

When Catherine Connolly expresses concern about the military-industrial complex pushing for more armament as an economic stimulus, she is not being “far left”. She is describing reality as it exists - here’s the cover of the Economist this week.

Remember - the Irish government was told years ago when the total was still well under 10,000 how to eradicate homelessness by the man who did so in Finland, and it just ... didn't bother. And since then, the majority of you kept voting for them. Well done, everyone. Well done. 👍
