Heather Humphreys and Jim Gavin: "Neutrality...pffffttt....War! Woohoo! Amirite kids?!" Catherine Connolly: "The world is becoming over-militarized." Me a complete weirdo: "Valid point I agree." You a completely normal sane person: "Did that bitch just call me a fascist!!!!" Gavin: "Pew Pew"

These are so early and so big I'm going germinate a few. I won't live to see them fruit of course.

All jokes aside anyone who spends 20,000 euros on a fuckin handbag isn't suitable for any public role and should be offered some kind of professional support for whatever the fuck is going on there

Our friend, Chris Andrews, Sinn Féin Senator, spoke to RTÉ Drivetime yesterday on the attacks on the Flotilla. The people on the Flotilla must be protected and allowed safe passage to Gaza, all aid must be allowed in and the genocide stopped #LiftTheSiege www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

every single person who dies in ICE custody was murdered by ICE period. full stop.

*Bella Ciao intensifies*

Just saw someone use 'roundabout painters' on football bluesky about fans who are booing a Black player for no discernible reason.

Italy has sent a ship, and Spain is sending a ship, to protect the #SumudFlotilla Indonesia has promised 20,000 troops if the UN act to intervene in Palestine. Things are ramping up. Thanks to the Italian dock workers and people around the world who have a conscience and compassion. Union. Fin.

One black tshirt, one tan...

I endorse this message, lol.

Our friend, poet and activist Sarah Clancy, is on the Spectre, one of the boats on the Flotilla which was attacked last night. Contact the Taoiseach and Tánaiste to demand protection, there must be safe passage for all trying to break apartheid Israel's illegal siege of Gaza. #LiftTheSiege

The virgin "just following orders" versus the chad "just ventilating war criminals"

DOGE was a success because the entire point of it was the greatest data theft scheme in history and they did it

People have been able to get nominated in previous elections, those tended to have a record of doing something in the community or are known. So the process works. It just doesn't work if you're an extremist or have no record of doing anything positive for the community. #aras25

I mean if you cannot see that these two are the BAD GUYS, I cannot help you 💀

They look like they're about to demand the surrender of Paddington Bear to the authorities.

Important article by our friend, renowned human rights lawyer, Raji Sourani from PCHR Gaza. States, including Ireland, have legal obligations to prevent and punish genocide. Palestinians must be protected from apartheid Israel's genocide. #GazaGenocide www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ha!! Literal grassroots demo behind her that she's definitely on the wrong side of. G'wan off and steal some puppies for yourself.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Just putting it out there: if a candidate really had the unprecedented and ENORMOUS groundswell of support some are claiming, surely they'd have no problem getting onto a ballot paper? #Aras25 #FeckOffIona

The #GlobalSumudFlotilla was attacked by Israel in international waters. Multiple boats reported attacks by drones. Contact the Irish government. Demand they send an observer to the flotilla. While the flotilla continues, Israel continues to bomb Gaza around the clock. We must #BreakTheSiege

Time to rename Herzog Park, and name a park after Terence Wheelock, councillors have decided. It’s unclear still what the park in Rathgar might be renamed to. Or when Diamond Park would be renamed for Wheelock.

Aubrey McCarthy has agreed to nominate Maria Steen. As one of his constituents I have emailed him expressing my deep disappointment, explaining why and asking him why I should ever give him a preference again. Let's see what he has to say for himself because his statement this morning was pathetic.

Lookit, as much as I don't want a fanatical, bible bashing, anti-human rights candidate, as someone pointed out yesterday t'will split Gavin and Humphrey's votes. And that's good. Let the 3 of em scrap it out for 2nd and 3rd place.

Ok...whoever wrote this post is losing their job with RTE😂

I read that headline as "Three sandwiches short of a picnic"

mentally ill implies the existence of womenshorty healthy

If you have a hashtag with multiple words, write the hashtag in #PascalCase or #camelCase to help users of screen readers. That helps the screen reader to read out the words out individually, rather than trying to read them in one long word.

17km cycle, work, 17km cycle, football training, easily ran 6/7km, 2 goal line saves, made a few gaffes, lad introduced himself and just said "free palestine" when I gave my name, which was nice. Now for my traditional warm down.

i'm like if an elf and a hobbit had a kid

Trans People are people. Trans rights are human rights. Fuck off if you don't agree

💯 expel apartheid Israel from all international competitions. FIFA, UEFA "There is a legal and moral imperative to take every measure possible to end the genocide in Gaza now.” #BanIsrael www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Watching Trump speak at the UN feels like pure dystopia. We’re used to his incoherent rambling but seeing it framed by one of the most formal, official stages on earth makes reality itself feel warped

Those last two votes that Maria Steen is looking for. Enter the kingmaker. #Áras25

It must be great to be a media pundit who is so immune to politics and the impacts, that they just view someone like Steen as a jolly debater.

The control-de-wimmen caucus in Leinster House want Steen on the ballot so people have a “right to choose”. How ironic. www.thejournal.ie/maria-steen-...

A million times this.

It’s easy to condemn a resistance born from oppression when you’re looking through the lens of a free and fair society. How privileged we are to wag our fingers at people fighting for survival while their people are massacred and starved
