What is the purpose of a police service that allows this shit to continue year on year with seemingly zero consequence

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide. The German state is a disgrace. It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide. It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

Israel’s defence ministry just announced a contract to buy drones from Xtend. Its SKYLORD drone system was developed with €50,000 in EU Horizon money, which is not supposed to fund military applications. The EU grant page links to the current Xtend website, advertising its “military grade” drones

If you made a horror movie in which the bad guys sent flying robots to drop grenades on women and children taking refuge in tents, it would seem too comically evil to be believable. But that's what Israel is doing in real life, right now, every day.

Famously when The Life of Brian came out it inspired no controversy and prominent Christians said it was just a bit of fun, no harm done

I dug into the Israeli entities that have received EU funding. Here’s what I found - www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

Berlin, Germany - broken arm, broken nose, broken State.

I feel like CMAT has really tapped into something here and it explains why FFG don’t really want to solve the housing crisis - the more recession children who emigrate, the better their chances of constant re-election

Show some fucking self-respect @news.rte.ie The Israelis murdered your colleagues and you still give their murderers the benefit of the doubt?

CMAT ruled him out. Stand down.

For those who feared the summit on Ukraine might resemble Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler in 1938, the reality was worse.

To be clear, the decision to leave was not orchestrated, it was organic. Nobody contacted me to tell me to leave. Each of the 14 writers chose to leave, because of their own sense of integrity as to what the Polari Prize claimed to stand for. 3/

Recently, Boyne wrote that those women who supported transgender women were akin to people willing to ‘pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her’. /5

By my count this makes 5 out of 12 authors on the Polari First Book longlist who have withdrawn. It's hard to understate the moral courage this involves, esp for folk launching their first book into the world. As so often, those with the most to lose end up showing the most moral fibre.

6 years this has taken. 6 years! Time to bite the bullet and pedestrianise North Main Street similar to Oliver Plunkett St. #Cork www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari...

Great to see Terry Prone sitting next to a column titled "The truth is being exhumed in Tuam. But will Ireland ever face it?"

Mark your calendar: if you're in Berlin the weekend of September 12-14, you can tour (for free with reservations) the famous ICC convention center, a 1970s futurist masterpiece that looks not unlike Battlestar Galactica on the outside and a Logan's Run set on the inside. www.rbb24.de/panorama/bei...

it's like every single drop of funny evaporated from his brain decades ago and now he can only post like a Dublin bar owner who thinks he's a "character"

The declaration that Israel had the right to cut off electricity and water, from the mouth of the heralded human rights lawyer, really was the moment where he exposed himself as a vacuous weathervane, twisting as expedient to secure his position in the moment. Embarrassing we’re still doing this.

Would like to see high-vis vests made compulsory for traffic islands too…

Labour people coming out swinging against this but forgetting that Alan Kelly as Housing Minister did the exact same thing

"TD asks about making high-vis compulsory for “all pedestrians, cyclists and users of school transport” I cannot explain how rage making this is. WE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. DRIVERS ARE. irishcycle.com/2025/07/05/t...

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Top tip, bring a small sign with you for community events, it grows the conversation and engagement with passers by.

Palestine Action is to be proscribed at midnight. Zarah Sultana MP - a vocal critic of proscription - has tweeted: "we are all Palestine Action". She tried to say this in the Commons earlier this week too. (She would be unable to that lawfully after midnight).

The Woke Left Claim to Hate the IDF, but Really They Hate the FDI | My article in the Sunday Independent on why we must reject the Occupied Territories Bill

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

Hard to believe the garbage I’m hearing on Claire Byrne at the minute about the fertility ‘crisis’ being blamed by the expert- on women having mobile phones. Asked for evidence - had none. Heaven forbid we challenge the uneven mental load of motherhood and impact on their body, social life & career

New meme format just dropped.

I knew Bro Kevin a long time. Found out he had died as I started work this morning, then had 8hrs without a break so couldn’t digest the news at all. Quietly funny, humble, but a ball of charisma. I’ll miss him.

Waves breaking against the shore in moonlight

RTÉ running ridiculous levels of propaganda for the US military here.

Frankly I would believe Starmer regretted paraphrasing Enoch Powell somewhat more if he wasn't pushing ahead with the some of the most anti-immigration, anti-asylum, policies in decades. His "regret" doesn't make a difference when his actions are the same. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Buy a paper”

Cork lad agrees

sensational

It’s curious that the people that insisted SCOTUS would never overturn Roe v Wade and abortion rights advocates claiming otherwise were alarmists, are now the same people insisting that LGBTIQ activists’ legal strategies have been too “aggressive” in advocating for the rights of transgender people.

and as we know, "viewpoint diversity" means, "you need to recruit, hire and reward white nationalists"

this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

To the Newry man sharing prison data by nationality to push harmful stereotypes: RE Nigerians, you do realise people refused leave to land are also held in regular prisons & show up in the data, making it very unreliable to use to mean what you want it to mean. So confidently inaccurate, always

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

This photo. ICE is a gang.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many
