Hard to see positives coming out of the attacks in the Middle East but one may be that it stops the spread of the cancer that is data centres. Our govt has sold us out, once again, and it’s going to take something huge to make them change course. Maybe no more access to oil or gas imports will do it

Word! From Jesse Welles; “Better to Die in Iran…”

Great piece by @clodaghfinn.bsky.social on courageous activists Lelia Doolan + Margaretta D’Arcy. Lelia, at 91, is walking from Shannon airport to Dublin to raise awareness of the American military’s mis-use of Shannon. Will our govt find the courage change their “blind-eye” policy? Not likely…😢

Francesca Albanese; punished for calling out Israeli atrocities: “….The religion Israel professes cannot be used as an excuse to murder or torture children, right?” she said. “And the legitimate fight against antisemitism cannot be weaponized against those who ask for justice for those children.”

Yet another horrific step in the genocide of Palestinians.

More fecking words of condemnation. But not one of them will actually do anything to stop it, nor end IsraHell!!!!! IsraHell knows it can butcher as many Palestinians as they want, because NOONE will do anything to end it. #EndIsraeliImpunity #EndIsraeliWarcrimes aje.news/ql2tsi

A PURE EVIL representative of a PURE EVIL regime. And STILL almost the whole world's "leaders" say "Israel has the right " Absolutely 100 % sickening!!! They are ALL guilty of genocide. www.thenational.scot/news/2597039...

Oof! Mega-burn…. ‘The Iranian rejection follows a mocking response to the US proposal from Iran’s military spokesperson, who asked: “Have your internal conflicts reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?”’ www.thejournal.ie/trump-ceasef...

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese said that Israel systematically tortures Palestinians on a scale “indicative of collective vengeance and destructive intent,” according to a report released to the media on Friday.

Petition for Irish schools: We can’t allow the excuse of “it’s just business and we don’t want the hassle of changing insurers.” Allianz are supporting the Israeli genocide so we need to stop funding them. Please sign: my.uplift.ie/petitions/bo... @uplift.ie #spéirgorm #spéirghorm

The Irish President is one of the few politicians of integrity we have. So glad we elected her and not the other, business-as-usual, mealy-mouthed, war/genocide-enablers…. #spéirgorm #spéirghorm

So what wd it take have Israel treated internationally as the disgusting pariah it is? The murder of a family won’t; not when they got away w Hind Rajab, murdering & burying first responders w their ambulance etc etc History is not going to judge us well on this… www.thejournal.ie/parents-and-...

O.T.D. 2003, Rachel Corrie was murdered by IsraHell 💔 Rest In Peace 🕯 allthatsinteresting.com/rachel-corri...

Nope. It’s not as if they’re constantly abusing their agreements around their military’s use of Shannon Airport + it’s not like the US is being led by thugs with no respect for truth or rule of law. FFS, is she for real?! Cognitive dissonance v strong in this one!! www.thejournal.ie/helen-mcente...

The Irish government will do absolutely anything, including inviting in more absentee landlords, in order to avoid having to do something about the housing crisis. It’s not foreign investment, it’s international financial feudalism.

This is scary as fuck and shows the absolute hypocrisy of David Lammy + the UK Labour govt re the right to trial by jury. As an Irish person I’m worried that our right-leaning government will try to do the same. We need to be vigilant and not allow this to happen.

Because there isn’t enough depressing reading these days; a study of 23k people shows that a lot (not *all*, but too many) of Gen Z guys deserve to have women run far, far away from them. You know it’s bad when more Boomers have progressive views on women than Gen Z 😒 www.kcl.ac.uk/news/almost-...

Feeling ashamed of Irish govt lack of moral fibre, yet again. Won’t pass Occupied Territories bill, won’t condemn US for illegal war that will have widespread, horrific, consequences for yrs to come. All for fear of the “ mighty dollar”. Spain’s response is bang on. Fair play #spéirgorm #spéirghorm

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Mindblowing story. The UK met most of the costs of a key propaganda tool used by the Israeli Government to launder its genocide in Gaza - then tried to cover up the fact it had done so.

For Blueskyers in Ireland: I just emailed TDs in Kerry, Galway, Mayo, and Donegal telling them to take a stand against corporate takeover of seaweed harvesting along the western Irish coast. Can you please do it too? xx action.uplift.ie/campaigns/st... #spéirgorm #spéirghorm

Oh, look, yet another thing to make my blood boil. What the world needs now is…. flying killer whales; they’d sort this lot out, with their “cheaper to hire a private jet to go back to a war zone than pay taxes” bullshit. It’s either that or guillotines.

I/2 “The aim of the roadmap is to expand the range of policy options available to governments, multilateral institutions & development agencies in the fight against poverty. Among the moves it is considering are a universal basic income, job guarantees, debt cancellation and an extreme wealth tax.”

Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs must have sore arse from all her fence sitting. Fucking shameful. ‘Asked why she did not use the word ‘condemn’ or similar language to Guterres, McEntee said that the ongoing crisis is “an extremely difficult situation”’ #spéirgorm www.thejournal.ie/mcentee-us-i...

Fact

This is just sickening.

“Forensic Architecture” do incredible work investigating war crimes. Everyone knows that the Israelis murdered, clearly-identified, aid workers & buried them & their vehicles. They lied & lied about it. Here FA exposes the truth. How soon before there’s a hatchet job on their company/reputation?

Oof. Waterford Whispers; bang on, as usual…

421 days have passed since the abduction of Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safieh by Israel - his only crime was remaining at the hospital to treat children and women. Do not be silent until the doctor returns to his family and his city. #freepalestine #gaza #genocide

Irish breathing exercises. Wellness program with an Ireland style 😉😂

T’fuck with this bullshit; clearing airspace for drones to deliver fast food? Insanity.

This. Banning social media, and indeed the anti-social use of scramblers and mopeds, will not solve anything.

After Tumbler Ridge shooting, false claims about trans people have proliferated online Claims about an 'epidemic' of trans shooters circulating on social media are false, expert says #Canada Stop spreading propaganda!!! Be respectful. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why does it not surprise me? Of course the arms industry has to be protected at all costs. Lots of money to made from invasions and genocide!

Just in case anyone has any starry-eyed notions on how Ireland supports Palestine let me disabuse you: The *people* of Ireland know a genocide when they see one & will stand against it. The *government* of Ireland bow to the US. It’s so shameful. www.thejournal.ie/shannon-airp...

The French are taking none of Musk’s bullshit.

By contrast, formally responding to our detailed complaint about illegal content on X, Ofcom couldn't even mention X's name: instead it broadened out to talk about the work it was doing across all tech platforms. Feels like the UK is in the grip of the worst people in the world: Thiel and Musk.

The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the safety of our homes all depend on strong environmental laws. Behind the EU’s ‘simplification’ agenda, crucial environmental safeguards are being quietly dismantled. Take Action: www.environmentalpillar.ie/hands-off-na...

Canadian companies profiting from enabling the US DHS/ICEstapo; despicable. (@mcmblues.bsky.social, @slptoronto.bsky.social, you probably know all this already but in case not….)
