Dog owners have been urged to keep their pets cool and rethink their walk routines amid the warm weather. Dogs Trust said owners should try to walk dogs early in the day or late at night when temperatures are cooler - or skip walks on hot days. jrnl.ie/7051567

Today on World Football Day, we reiterate our call for the FAI to boycott the Nations League fixtures against apartheid Israel, to not cross the Palestinian picket line. Join us tomorrow at the Dáil 12.30pm and email the FAI to let them know they should #StopTheGame www.ipsc.ie/action-item/...

On the other hand, there have been many deaths associated with refusing  vaccines.

Trump called fallen service members "losers" and "suckers" — according to his chief of staff — he accused soldiers with PTSD of not being "strong," demeaned POWs, and insulted Gold Star parents & a widow. When he pretends to honor service members, don't believe it.

How was your weekend? We won’t lie – ours was pretty good.

Ireland takes procrastination to new level. Over two years ago Ireland's Attorney General solemnly told the International Court of Justice that Ireland knew what it was obliged to do about trade and the occupied Palestinian territories. Now it is determined to do less than that or nothing at all.

Israeli soldiers are barbaric brutes.

Tonight on #MondayGR: Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns on the by-election fallout… • Why did they win when others didn’t? • What does she mean by SF needing to decide its own path? • Can they aspire to lead an alternative government? Our panel: Kevin Doyle, Daniel McConnell and Lisa Chambers

The Links Report (1996) documented Ireland's role in supplying components for war, including US drones used in Afghanistan and Iraq. Thirty years later, the government is green lighting Ireland's defence-tech industry, while removing legislation that keeps us out of wars.

Thankfully creating lists of citizens for conspicuously fake reasons never leads to mass detention and then mass murder History teaches us this all ends well, not in piles of dead bodies

This is evil collective punishment.

Not sure “creeping” is the correct word

If only @micheal-martin.bsky.social @simonharrisireland.bsky.social @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu (and all the others too cowardly to be on Bsky) had called a halt to Israel’s genocidal gallop sooner. So much assault, rape and murder could have been avoided.

US sanctions on members of international criminal court 'thuggish' and 'bullying'. - Patrick Wintour

Trans people merit full civil rights for their own sakes, first and foremost. But also because it’s deadly to the social compact and the project of democracy to persecute people for living their best lives. The harm is never contained.

That’s today What about tomorrow?

Last year, the European Commission fined X approximately €40m for deceptive practices relating to its account verification process. Elon did not take it well at all and vowed to fight it. Well, at the weekend, X very quietly announced "changes" to its verification system in a bid to placate the EU.

"Though pushed by a minuscule number of people, the assault has been full-spectrum—government, courts, press, the health system, radicalised internet groups, and violent vigilantes." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

This absolutely shook me to my core as a Dad. What is wrong with people? Why can you just leave trans people alone? That’s all they want.

1,280 votes is the lead for Noel Thomas (II) over Sean Kyne (FG). There will eventually be about 10,000 votes in the Labour and SocDems piles, plus 4,668 from FF. You’d expect Kyne to bridge that gap bit.ly/GalwayWest26

"When soldiers fire from inside buildings at three shirtless men carrying a white flag, kill two of them, then pursue the third, call him out of hiding, and shoot him dead, the issue is not merely “mistaken identity.” The issue is that Israeli soldiers routinely shoot innocent people."

The 8th and penultimate count in Dublin Central. Janet Horner of the Green Party is eliminated; her 5,452 votes will be distributed between Daniel Ennis (SD) and Janice Boylan (SF). Ennis holds a lead of almost 1,100 and will not be caught. @virginmedia

Strategy:

The token fall guy; anything to avoid acting against Israel.

@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social being Yvette Cooper 🫣🫣 #FreePalestine #IsraelisATerroristState The level of Ben Gvir’s depravity is bottomless

Daniel Ennis has won more raw votes, despite a lower turnout, in the 2026 by-election than Gary Gannon did in the 2024 GE. An objectively huge performance by the SocDems in the capital.

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

Inside the DOJ, the walls between public service and private loyalty have crumbled. Todd Blanche now wields his office like a defense shield, dropping tax claims against the president while funding his allies. To critics, it is an ethical disaster; to the White House, it is a job well done.

By comparison, 40% turnout in Dublin Central means 25,000 ballot papers with three fewer candidates. A broadly similar turnout in 2021 (with one extra candidate on the ballot) resulted in Ivana Bacik officially being elected at 9:20pm. Better get to sleep so…

Turnout in the by-elections is estimated at 45% in Galway West and about 40% in Dublin Central. Galway therefore looking at 50,000 ballot papers with 17 candidates and no meaningful hope of anyone reaching the quota. A long day - and very possibly two days - of counting beckons in Salthill.

"In general," he said, according to the note, "the media only giving the side of the protestors in their news reports, and not the victims of the blockades" was another example of imbalance.” The exact opposite is the truth Minister !
