There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.

Tagabow in Whelans tonight were class. First time I've seen a band play with the drummer on the stage and the band playing in front of him in a circle. Great if you had a good vantage point like myself.

🔴 BREAKING: Labour Together paid controversial PR firm £30k to investigate journalists who were digging into how its undeclared funding Reporters from Sunday Times, Guardian and other outlets targetted *And* Morgan McSweeney knew about it Full story: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

Virgin media rugby pundits just did a half time analysis as if they had just witnessed the 1916 leaders being executed if you're wondering how the Ireland France game is going

Spain’s PM: “The time of hiding behind servers is at an end.”

This is terrifying: A group of Palestinian students and teachers who are citizens of Israel were brutally attacked by Israeli settlers during a school trip. (1/3)

An investigation by a German outlet has found that in German supermarkets, wines from illegal settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank are labelled as "from Israel". This violates both EU regulations and the International Court of Justice's advisory ruling on the occupation of the oPT.

Spectacular power on display at the pier in Wicklow town.

Teach yourself.......

What a wildly stupid idea. Mandatory helmets and high viz is a proven remedy to reduce the number of people cycling. It effectively kills off things like Dublin Bikes. That's why no other EU country does anything like this. Pure madness.

Israel just 'broke' a world record for kidney donors - but where did all the organs come from? Forensic evidence and human rights organisations reveal, beyond doubt, organ theft from Palestinians detained in Israel's prisons. Yet this? www.thecanary.co/global/world...

@electionlit.bsky.social there is the smell of a bye election in the air

Walz having to basically plead with Minnesotans not to take up arms against the federal government. That’s the extent of the breakdown of political authority in the United States.

No. It should instead regulate provider and enforce existing laws around the generation of CSAM and image-based sexual abuse content.

What a headline, an amazing summary

I took opportunity to mention this scandalous waste by Dunnes Stores at the recent Oireachtas Session on vacancy & dereliction, where @judesherry.bsky.social & me attended to make the case for urgently tackling #DerelictIreland & #VacantIreland so everyone can have a home in Ireland #speirgorm

Should anyone want an exhibit or talk over the coming months, do get in touch. I'm currently putting together a presentation on 100 years of Fianna Fáil, focusing on material produced by the party, should you be interested. Thanks Alan

Please spare me the Davos straight talkers, posturing as revivalist internationalists while the genocide they supported and trashed their democracies for continues to kill people they can’t even pretend to see as fully human.

I updated my list of irish politicians with some new arrivals if anyone is interested. If ive missed anyone let me know. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The EU line is hardening Denmark's analysis and the assessment of other European capitals consistent This crisis isn't about Denmark or Greenland per se - but something much more fundamental The ability of big countries to grab the territory of smaller ones with impunity

Myself and @seamasbelfast.bsky.social have asked for Belfast City Council to review its engagement on Twitter last week. It is a playground for nonces. To those supposed local political champions of ending violence against women and girls, your continued use on it is an act of hypocrisy.

We were once a country.......the tax avoidance cleansed by the tax amnesty's. www.independent.co.uk/news/busines...

For younger people, the bastards using bogus non-resident accounts and their banking friends defrauded the state of billions with their scamola. Not a single person was ever prosecuted after the uncovering of the tax avoision (I don’t say evasion, I say avoision). Good overview archive.ph/jkFb1

Simon Harris TD, Tánaiste, declines to address the Shannon question when asked by Saron Tobin if it would be reviewed if the US invade Greenland. @news.rte.ie #speirgorm #Shannon #Ireland

We cannot allow for more women and girls to suffer like this. These crimes are not victimless. They are horrific. We must see action from Govt on this NOW. Thank you, Sonia. Thank you for your bravely speaking on this today.

The good old days #speirgorm

This has been completely normalized. Once upon a time when it happened, there was days of press coverage and vigils.

Poster from éirígí

As nothing has changed since I wrote The Abuse Factory Gist re X, the only thing an extra Gist has is a round up of the moral & intellectual collapse of policy and commentary Too painful for me to go back on, to little benefit. Niamh Smyth and Richard Chambers aside, it’s been a shocking failure

3 hours ago, The Taoiseach posted photos on X of school children from a visit he made to Gorey. How is that not a severe safeguarding issue, given what can be done with any photo on X now? #IrishPol

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Once again, Niamh Smyth absolutely leading in not shirking the responsibilities of her portfolio. Rare I offer praise for any Minister but when her colleagues have equivocated on what's happened and what needs to happen, she has very strongly called it straight so far and hasn't bent to pressure.
