Join us to celebrate #IrishBookWeek and our 6th birthday on Saturday- we’ll have lots of brilliant promotions on throughout the day, as well as an author event at 3pm with Sinéad O’Hart and Úna Woods!

Reminder that almost half of those convicted in recent British anti-migrant "protests" (supposedly about the safety of women & children) had previous form for domestic violence. It was over 60% in Bristol - how high in Citywest? www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/uk-riot...

In Saggart tonight there's a large group of masked men who just want to protect women and children who also happened to be determined to murder a hotel full of women and children

English fascists are in this crowd livestreaming and confirming they flew into Dublin this morning

Masked youths on horseback at Citywest Hotel now.

The Tony Blair Institute is heavily backed by Larry Ellison & was “involved in plans to create a new ‘Trump Riviera.’” That vision “envisages creating a ‘blockchain registry for land’ to underpin the construction of up to 8 ‘AI-powered, smart planned cities on the inner side of the Gaza Ring.“ …1/

Today's Sunday long read: “The USA under Trump is not looking to slow down clean energy and climate action” says William Todts from @transportenvironment.org. “It wants to destroy it. The sooner we fully accept the implications of this, the better.”

#BREAKING | Several casualties reported following an Israeli airstrike on a location west of Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza.

🇪🇺🤑The mother of all EU fund misuses from Hungary: a treetop/canopy walkway without trees in Nyírmártonfalva, led by a Fidesz (Orbán’s ruling party) mayor who said trees weren’t required. €160K of EU taxpayers’ money wasted.

🚨In this film we cover the complete destruction of stadiums in Gaza, the killing of hundreds of footballers, illegal matches played in the West Bank and also the awful racism by fans of some Israeli teams towards Palestinians.. Including, notably Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters Watch it here ⬇️

I guess we’re going to find out fairly soon if the rumours about the Iona Institute were true all along #SpeirGorm

Israel continues violating the ceasefire: it does not deliver the agreed aid, keeps Rafah crossing closed, and keeps killing civilians. A short while ago, two young men from the Abu Mustafa family were killed in an Israeli strike in Wadi Saber, southern Gaza Strip. (Ramy Abdu)

Nour Odeh: "the famine that was declared in Gaza has not ended, so there are urgent humanitarian needs, & Israel has control over whether they're met or not" Gaza needs flooding with aid, but what Israel is doing is continuing to kill Palestinians by restricting that aid

a reminder, as Naoise Ó Cearúil defends building more and more data centres on #TonightVMTV, that he thinks there's no conflict of interest in sitting on the Oireachtas AI committee while he holds shares in an AI company www.ontheditch.com/fianna-fail-...

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage. Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/w...

🔴 In the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 124 killed (117 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 33 injured arriving at hospitals. This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 67,806 and 170,066 injuries (likely 3-5x higher).

An investigation has been launched after more than 30 acres of native trees over 200 years old were alleged to have been illegally felled in Co Cork.

Goodness

Since Israel signed a ceasefire deal with Lebanon, Israel has: - killed 280 people - wounded 625 people - violated the agreement around 4,500 times That’s in under a year www.instagram.com/reel/DPdvEgY...

Larry Ellison has given nearly half a billion dollars to Tony Blair's institute. Now, why do you think he'd do that..? Terrific piece by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social at @thenerve.news

Happy October! 🍂 Like other times of year, our planet is heating up this month… but some regions warm faster than others. Arctic amplification especially ramps up in October. Maps show the changes in October temperature over the last 4 decades. Data used from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5.

Video shows Israeli settlers attacking a Palestinian Bedouin family on their land in Masafer Yatta, in the occupied West Bank area of South Hebron Hills.

No, you're not going crazy. You did read this and also read about the PSNI arresting people in London for being members of a proscribed organization.

Worth nuancing (valid) worries about Babis-led Czechia joining Hungary & Slovakia in trio of EU spoiler states + democratic backsliders. 1/ Czech institutions strong 2/ Babis's ANO has backed off some prior pro-🇷🇺🇨🇳 positions 3/ ANO not all-mighty; will form minority govt or lead fractious coalition

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'. I ask you. Do you stand with Greta Thunberg? Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

Since President Trump asked Israel to halt bombing Gaza, Israel has killed 80 Palestinians, most of them children. (Ramy Abdu, Chairman of Euro-Med Monitor)

President of Serbia Vučić: Everyone is preparing for conflicts. To be completely honest, everyone is getting ready for war. The only question is which side someone belongs to. And we would like to avoid wars. We would like to avoid conflicts. But I’m afraid no one wants to listen to anyone anymore.

In other words: The usual culprit 🙄🤢

Global Sumud Flotilla HIGH ALERT OUR VESSELS ARE BEING ILLEGALY INTERCEPTED Cameras are offline and vessels have been boarded by military personnel. We are actively working to confirm the safety and status of all participants on board. Details to come as available.

Sinn Féin has lost contact with senator Chris Andrews, who was aboard the Spectre as part of the Sumud Flotilla aiming to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, some of vessels of which have seemingly been boarded by Israel tonight. @virginmedianews.bsky.social

So exactly like China

“Walking the fairways was like listening to a series of Truth Social posts being read out loud in New York accents. The abuse was cutting and personal, involving not only their players but their wives and families, all of whom were inside the ropes.“ www.the42.ie/lowry-and-mc...

Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza Strip.

"Just because you do not like how the system works, that does not make it undemocratic." Something for all the sudden democracy defenders that came out of the woodwork this week.

#BREAKING | A 13-year-old Palestinian teenager, Ahmad Al-Sharif, died on Sunday from malnutrition and the lack of medicine caused by the ongoing Israeli blockade on Gaza, according to medical sources.

BREAKING: At least 91 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7770yd

“A Reuters analysis of visual evidence and other information about the Israeli attack on a Gaza hospital last month contradicts Israel’s explanation of what happened in the deadly strike.” 9/26/25

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

"number of civilians killed since October 7 is the highest in any war in the 21st century" Haaretz

During the night, Israeli strikes on a house near the Souk Firas area in Gaza City injured several Palestinian children.
