A small Journey plane that departed from the ICE Transfer Facility at Mesa-Gateway Airport early this morning has just landed in Shannon, Ireland. This is likely a refueling stop before a deportation is carried out.

A statement of fact – that Hamas exists and is embedded in Palestinian society – and a straightforward condemnation of western intervention angered a class that’s never served Irish sovereignty, let alone Palestinian humanity Catherine Connolly was right www.ontheditch.com/catherine-co...

Looking forward to joining this creative workshop!

Looking forward to hosting this workshop for ARGH and AMASE. Access Riders are a really useful advocacy tool for recognising individual needs and defining accommodations that can help.

Just to clarify: I'm autistic and it wasn't the vaccines. I'm autistic but I don't do N@zi salutes and I try not to be too much of an @$$hole. #NotAllAutistics

I think it's time to take out a newspaper subscription, though it could be an online one. Any recommendations for reflective, analytical, truthful journalism?Though nothing is without bias. Mine is to view things with a centre left, decolonisation, neurodivergent-affirming lens. Advice please .

RTE news keeps referring to "Iran-backed Hezbollah" but never says "US/UK- backed Israel". Funny that. @news.rte.ie

As we de-medicalise autism,and move beyond the tragedy narrative, organisations and advocates need to work hard to call out ableism & to spread knowledge of supportive practice. Right now it's a really confusing landscape for parents and teachers.

Shannon Airport last Sunday. Uniformed US soldiers chilling. Irish neutrality? Our Tánaiste/ Foreign Affairs Minister was visiting the county at the time. Sen Timmy Dooley was campaigning in Shannon. Blind eye turned to US army/ flights yet again. #GE24

A few have-a-go independents out there!

Just found this #GE24 podcast. Ivan Yates being his gossipy irreverent self looking at candidates election prospects.
