Great work by France, too! "We must pool resources to ensure that everyone everywhere in the world can breathe clean air inside their home, school, workplace or ---" France has already (2023) invested in improving air quality in schools and nurseries.

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

Listen to this young lady, protect yourselves. Don’t wait for the messaging, it’s already been over 5 years! We have an estimated 409 million with long Covid now. Over 28 million have died. We need to help each other #WeShareTheAir

Liberals now feeling what it has been like to support Palestine in the US. Every word twisted. Loss of job for a simple opinion. Taken off air for a monologue. Lists to target you. Employers harassed. It feels endless, coming from all directions. It only gets worse from here

We currently have 10 regular studio memberships available at A4 Sounds. We are looking for artists from the following disciplines to join our studio community: • Sculpture • Print • Photography • Ceramics • Textiles • Media

Book Launch: Refaat Alareer’s ‘If I Must Die: Poetry and Prose’ with Yousef M. Aljamal. 8th October, Irish Writers' Centre. A new collection of poetry and prose from the late Palestinian poet and professor, Refaat Alareer launched by his close friend and editor Yousef M. Alajamal #FreePalestine

It should read "Housing policy is fuelling violence against women". The word crisis has lost all meaning in this regard.

Yep and some might say petrol station instead of traffic light, causing some confusion...and have to generally sift through a lot of word salad to get out a straight sentence, without losing the thought that flutters through your brain like bat on monster energy. Just a cold, right? 🙃

It is over for the genocide deniers. Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide. Those who supported Israel's onslaught: You backed a genocide. You will never scrub the shame away.

Watch Israel call the U.N. (of all things!l "Hamas operatives" or "Assadists" or whatever. Fucking horrendous.

President Michael D Higgins said some of the EU's strongest members are "deciding to stay silent in watching emaciated children in what is a human, manmade, really atrocious infliction on people" in Gaza

Genocide. The finding of the most comprehensive, most damning report to date into the conduct of Israel in Gaza. Our report for @virginmedianews.bsky.social - including the increasing cultural and sporting push to move away from “business as usual” with Israel.

I single handedly blame the “not resting” over every other factor. Being female is part of that. We’ve been conditioned to “keep calm and carry on” despite adversity. We don’t even notice we are still going when we think we have stopped.

Today, we honor the memory of the thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese murdered during the Sabra and Shatila massacre — and call for peacefully disruptive actions from 18-21 September, the UN deadline for Israel to end its illegal occupation and apartheid. #DisruptComplicity

Fortress Europe kills. An iron boat was about to sink about 83 km off Lampedusa. One woman died, and another is missing. About 50 survivors were rescued & the body of the deceased was recovered with help from the civili rescue ship Dakini. Our Seabird crew provided air support.

Honored and privileged to be speaking at the huge Wembley concert for Palestine in London on Wednesday evening, alongside my friends Riz Ahmed and Ramy Youssef, 'Avengers' Benedict Cumberbatch and Florence Pugh, Guy Pearce, Eric Cantona, Francesca Albanese & many more big names.

Even if the costs of eliminating fossil fuels were a net reduction in GDP globally, we should still do it, because we all consider our lives, our safety and our environment to be more important than a weird metric that means nothing to most of us

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council @dlrcc.bsky.social is inviting proposals for two sound-based public arts projects connected to Ballyogan Library and the wider area. Each commission offers a budget of €11,000. www.dlrcoco.ie/arts/funding...

Front page of today's Irish Examiner. The government must include goods and services in the upcoming Occupied Territories Bill. Well cannot continue to enable apartheid Israel's economy of genocide which is profiting from the mass murder of Palestinians. #OccupiedTerritoriesBill #SanctionsNow

Just 24 arrests. The Metropolitan Police have said they will make "further arrests in the coming days and weeks" following Far Right violence at the “Unite the Kingdom” march. Last weekend the Met arrested 890 people for holding cardboard placards and peacefully protesting against genocide.

Thursday 4.30pm, the Dáil! In response to the call from Palestinian organisations, inc BDS Movement, to disrupt complicity in apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians, a call on our government for action to end all its complicity and for immediate sanctions #DisruptComplicity #SanctionsNow

Energy prices for households are going up because of network costs to upgrade infrastructure. At the same time, data centres are paying reduced costs and profiting from energy services they provide to the state. www.rte.ie/news/busines...

Schools have been noting an increase in racist behaviour from students. Primary schools. So the increase in racism and discrimination has already filtered down to the kids, and the Taoiseach is stuck at the "I call for a response" stage

Then to add to this there are also elevated risks on top in the following groups to the right of the chart.

Ireland will not take part in 2026 Eurovision Song Contest if participation of Israel goes ahead, RTÉ Director-General says

Big move from RTÉ regarding Eurovision 2026. Better late than never, and I'd suspect they won't be the only participating broadcaster choosing this stance. www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

Huge! Well done to all who have campaigned for RTÉ not to take part in Eurovision since it was held in apartheid Israel in 2019, and subsequently due to its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. It is shameful it has taken this long, but very welcome! #BDS www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

"It is RTÉ [the Irish national broadcaster]'s position that Ireland will NOT take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest if the participation of Israel goes ahead" Bloody great. Should have happened LONG ago. share.google/Y93L0uo9ap2d...

🇮🇪 In an official statement, Irish broadcaster RTÉ states that “Ireland will not take part in the 2026 #Eurovision Song Contest if the participation of Israel goes ahead.” A final decision on Ireland’s participation will be made after the EBU’s decision on Israel. More: about.rte.ie/2025/09/11/r...

This is not Gaza - It’s LEBANON The IDF entered Aita Chaab this morning and rigged and detonated a school for disabled children. Who keeps allowing them to enter?

If you think there's a giant conspiracy amongst the UK government, the media, and a small group of extremely well-funded genitally-obsessed bigots to harass and dehumanize trans people, that's because there is.

Ireland will not participate in Eurovision 2026 if Israel takes part "Ireland's participation would be unconscionable given the ongoing and appalling loss of lives in Gaza" www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

“The [CAM] movement takes a very controversial definition of antisemitism used to silence criticism of Israel, what it is doing in Gaza and the West Bank. As a Jewish person, Israel does not speak for me, and tackling antisemitism should be part of a broader effort to tackle racism.”

Lubna Marsawa's beautiful tribute to her dear friend and the people of Gaza, as Israel's terrible genocide continues, millions protest worldwide & governments dither. The heartbreak of loss for Palestinians. @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/ahme...

Our rivers, the very lifeblood of the land, are being murdered. Yet this sickening crime is just allowed to get worse and worse.

The first rapid attribution analysis on a wildfire in Europe has found that human-caused climate change made the weather conditions that drove deadly fires in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus this summer about 22% more intense.

💔 The smile on Maryam Abu Daqa’s face as Soliman Hijjy keeps the wise cracking up. Palestinians are the bravest, most resilient and (in Soliman’s case) funny people. Rest in Power, Maryam 💔

prayforpatrick.etsy.com/listing/8260... Packing for the East Block Bazaar market in Belfast this Sunday (12-4pm) and I discovered 4 of these, long out of stock prints. I’ve added them to the Etsy shop to give anyone who has bought the other side first dibs.

I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

Brilliant speech by Caoimhe O'Brien, Chairperson Transgender Equality Network Ireland *TENI) at our protest calling on the government to direct the Central Bank not to renew its deal to keep fundraising for apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians. It's simple, the CBI must #StopFundingGenocide
