All of this but also: not voting is the same as voting for the worst candidate CC may not be perfect but how many boxes do you have & how many does she check? V HH? Feminist ✅ left ✅ LGBT rights ✅ pro-palestine✅ antibloodsports ✅ geailgoir ✅ empathetic ✅ independent ✅ #speirgorm #áras25 #aras25

Ha, this is damn clever. Has them all of a Twitter here on Bsky!

Heather Humphreys is spreading misinformation that Oireachtas political staff need so-called garda clearance – they don’t, according to documents obtained by The Ditch Alan Shatter joined in – posting a fake document on X purporting to be official policy www.ontheditch.com/heather-hump...

Please do not vote for this awful person in the Irish election; she’s a disastrous ex-minister for biodiversity, supported an animal cruelty perp and anti-trans.🤮 #spéirgorm #spéirghorm

Support your independent book shop (and other shops too) over poxy Amazon. I’d add @sheelaghnagig.bsky.social in Cloughjordan, North Tipperary, to this list. Best wee book/coffee/health food/crafts shop ever!

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state. Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide. Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

This is so powerful! #FreePalestine

Fucking genociders - as well as the illegal attack and kidnap of activists they will, of course, make damn sure that all the aid being carried by the flotilla won’t make to the people who need it.

Wow - even Golda Meir said it….

A therapist who doesn't respect your pronouns has someone else as a client; they are serving an interest that is not yours and you shouldn't participate.

This makes me so happy - a small thing but a powerful message. And deffo a good use for the Spire! Now I need to see footage of the operations itself. Cos surely if you were doing something this brilliant you’d get footage, right??!! #spéirghorm #spéirgorm

Irish senator Chris Andrews, part of the Sumud flotilla under attack by the Israelis in Int’l waters; can’t understand, w so many journalists murdered in Gaza, how there is so little interns in covering the flotilla by the Irish media. How these “journalists” can call themselves that is a joke.

Tomorrow in Dublin. Book launch ‘Diary of Gaza Surgeons: A Witness to the Genocide’, Tuesday, September 23rd at 7pm in the Uí Chadhain Theatre, Trinity College Dublin (Arts Building/Nassau st entrance). #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

This just perfectly sums up the far-right in Ireland today. It also shows where we should direct our anger. And guess what? It's not at immigrants. Fight the real enemy. (video credit Seán Heuston 1916 Society, Dublin)

New visual evidence: Gaza’s seaport before and after Israel’s war of extermination on Gaza. Is this not a genocide to you yet?

Hopefully I don’t lose my Canadian citizenship for saying this but; fuck Canada, eh! The Liberals are the pits; they just follow where the right/Zios lead 🤮 www.thejournal.ie/kneecap-barr...

This is behind a paywall which is unfortunate cos it’s very good. I wouldn’t usually post a way around the paywall of an Irish publication, but I’ll make an exception 🙏 (archive below) Author is in command of the figures and they’re not good - the consequences disastrous archive.is/2025.09.18-0...

New pro-Palestine punky Irish folk band; the Gaza Tones. In their own words “the lyrics are blunt, defiant and catchy.” They aim to raise funds + awareness for Palestinians, fight Israeli propaganda, and support activists everywhere. youtu.be/LJIQdEzt2hM?... Save Gaza 🇵🇸🙏🇮🇪 Free Palestine

In June, @Google quietly signed a $45M ad contract w/ Israel to spread propaganda denying Israel's genocide & starvation of Palestinians in Gaza Along w/ cloud & AI, Google’s ad machine—the world's biggest—is now in Israel's genocide supply chain Statement by Google workers w #NoTechForApartheid🧵

RTE struck a slightly different note with this article yesterday (by AFP) - saying the Tunisian authorities saying there’s no evidence of a drone but acknowledging that witnesses dispute this. The best RTE will do in the face of genocide is “both sides” it. 😡 www.rte.ie/news/middle-...

The authorities have given the cause for the fire on the “Family” (which is part of the Sumud Gaza aid flotilla) as a fire in the life jacket hold. This was reported by RTE, Irish state broadcaster. It is directly contradicted by footage of the drone hitting the boat. Waiting for the RTE retraction…

Last night, an Israeli drone attacked a ship of the Global Sumud Flotilla as it sailed off the coast of Tunisia on its way to Gaza to break the Israeli siege. Miguel was on board the vessel at the time of the attack, witnessing the strike firsthand.

I don’t want to “really got a hand it to the police“ but I feel they’re rather making a point by arresting this woman twice.

My fabulous friend @michbar.bsky.social is launching his very import and and timely book on Thursday in Dublin. "How Ireland's LGBTQ+ Youth Movement was Built: Civil Society in the Pursuit of Social Justice" charts a remarkable journey as part of massive social change in Ireland.

The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

We've long passed the point where Starmer's rhetoric is "in danger of" getting migrants killed, and appear to be rapidly approaching the point where he'll publicly admit to being sad if they are not.

I've protested Israel's actions every way I can. Now, I'm joining the flotilla sailing for Gaza www.thejournal.ie/readme/gaza-...

Charlie Chaplin speech against fascism certainly stands the rest of time. Goosebumps.

Blatant assault of an (Irish) protestor by the German police. Carried out in full knowledge they were being filmed; this is very scary. Respect to Kitty O’Brien for her brave actions and hope she recovers from her injuries and the trauma of the unwarranted assault.

#speirgorm #FFFGShame

I will be taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla departing next week. Our governments remain complicit in Israel’s genocide & refuse to act. Join the movement to break the siege, stand with Gaza, & support the Palestinian struggle for liberation. #SailToGaza #BreakTheSiege #GlobalSumudFlotilla

OMG this is just hilarious. Scarlett/ more for Keith Mills or Austin Stack, the Feckin Eejits. We have some Gaza cola coming to ours, (not via Mary Lou I hasten to add!) Advanced reports says it’s delicious.

This woman has totally made my morning. What a spirit! #FreePalestine

Oof…

I knew media bias in favour of Israel was bad - didn’t realise how bad; and this is in Irl, where majority of people are pro-Palestine (or at least anti-genocide)! Bias study results sent to our media commissioner were rejected cos “RTE online is unregulated”. Yep; major state newssite unregulated!
