If you feel like marking this BH in honour of St Bridget have a listen to my recent podcast miniseries on fascinating Irish women with @clodaghfinn.bsky.social First episode here: open.spotify.com/episode/7bnk...

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/

BRUCE!!!!!

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Please share. 💔

The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

news.sky.com/share/13494983 @duckworth.senate.gov @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @joncooper-us.bsky.social Your own media seems censored. Is this really the land of the free?

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.

No words. 💔 #Justice4Renee

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

This!!! You are either a believer in International Law or Not.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

"I did not resign to make a symbolic point," writes Dr. Debra Houry, former chief medical officer of the CDC. "I resigned because staying silent would have made me complicit." 🛟 🧪 time.com/7338714/dr-d...

#EUROVISION. My Daddy was a massive fan, I followed suit. He was also a huge supporter of Palestine. When I was just 18, my Daddy (53) caught a brain virus that caused dementia like symptoms. He sang All kinds of Everything, all day, every day for 4 years. He would be very proud of #Ireland.

A new study found the Trump administration’s cuts to NIH grants disrupted more than 380 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants. The cuts disproportionately impacted trials on infectious diseases and minority communities.

Its that time of year again when we will all be overwhelmed with Black Friday offers from multinationals with questionable ethos. Any definitive lists to support local? #Cork #Ireland #beatthetarriffs

#Tylenol #ScienceMatters Is it 2028 yet?

When the most powerful man in the world goes about the place spreading very dangerous nonsense about paracetamol and vaccines, millions of people will sit up and listen. It's consequence free for him but this is going to kill a lot of kids and make a lot more children very ill indeed.

I asked this before for local Christmas presents to purchase in Cork and got very helpful suggestions. Any lists for Irish firms that deliver to assist them, as global giants (with toxic links) attempt to take over the market #Shoplocal #Irishbluesky #Cork

HSE urges caution to avoid slips and falls. Injury units available for non-serious injuries. Stay safe, stay warm, and check on vulnerable neighbours.

Congrats to all the vaccinated who are still alive in 2025! And a pox on the antivaccine advocates who convinced people to refrain from vaccinating, leading to death rates from COVID many times higher than that of the vaccinated.

A preventable illness with massive health implications. Health inequality at its worst
