Reminds me of Maga giving themselves cancer to 'own the libs'. Anyone reposting this is like that Leave aside lazy stereotypes, Turner can't even get the type of farmer right. Few beef farmers are derogation. And neither our milk nor beef has antibiotics or banned synthetic hormones in it #speirgorm

Politicans should leave X. Should note the Irish times link to X in this article. The Irish times pay X for verification and the Irish times pay X to advertise. So the Irish times are funding CSAM generation. This oddly is not included in the piece.

With the world's eyes on US oil interests, let's not forget who benefits: The richest of the rich. Our research shows: 50% of the record fossil fuel profits in 2022 went to the wealthiest 1% of US Americans, the bottom 50% only received 1%. Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Ming on the stage after a number of Independent Ireland and independent TDs/MEPs. Some interesting comparisons on safeguards...#speirgorm

Spotted a tiny 'Dublin says No' contingent fecking off from the Mercosur protest, shunted to the end of the walk (no approval for groups was needed to be here so couldn't forbid) then left standing at the edge like the oddballs they are. Fiver says someone will claim they were welcome...#speirgorm

#speirgorm large crowds here in Athlone against the #EUMercosur trade deal. MEPs will come under pressure to vote against it even if the council failed Europe's consumers. A few hangers on being distanced from the overwhelming farmer contingent.

The idea that journalists, politicians, groups or - you know, women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people - should "stay on the pitch" doesn't really hold up. Foreign Minister's account has 60k followers - 40 likes, 13k views? Blue ticks straight to the top of the queue with misogyny, bile.

*leans on gate sucking on a piece of straw* I hear they've started charging entry down at the old nazi pedo farm

Ralaghan Idol • Cavan This striking figure was hewn from yew around 3,000 years ago. It was found deep in a Cavan bog on what was once an ancient boundary. It is now on display in the Kingship and Sacrifice exhibition in the @nmireland.bsky.social #Ireland #SpéirGhorm #Archaeology 🏺

🚨 AI Minister Niamh Smyth says it isn't appropriate for the Government to maintain a presence on X and will speak to the Taoiseach on the matter. Says the European Commission should immediately suspend Grok while investigations are continuing. More on @virginmedianews.bsky.social

I'll give it to Uplift, the only environmental/left wing group I've seen do anything on this in the last year. The rest have been too busy doing either nothing, still posting on shitter, or actively telling farmers we shouldn't speak for ourselves

Mmm some extra carcinogenic hormone (oestradiol 17β) with your steak sir? EU Commission itself says it's impossible to keep out share.google/ym0ZYJmBP77X...

EU countries have approved a huge but divisive trade deal with the South American bloc Mercosur, giving Brussels the green light to sign an agreement championed by business groups but loathed by many European farmers. 📸 Emile Windal / Belga

European Commission spokespeople just said that this doesn't change a thing, though — the issue was not addressed fundamentally.

And so goes the last of Europe's credibility on climate action. A deal to sell fossil fuel cars. Deforestation hormone beef is back on the menu boys #speirgorm

I'll correct myself. To be fair to @envpillar.bsky.social they have been making at least some effort. They have run something of a campaign on #StopEUMercosur: bsky.app/profile/envp.... Reason I missed it has been because it was small and it seems virtually none of their members put any effort in

🚨 Big news from Brussels: EU countries move to approve the EU-Mercosur trade deal, @euronews.com confirms. Against: 🇫🇷🇵🇱🇦🇹🇭🇺🇮🇪 Abstention: 🇧🇪 All other member states voted in favour. Written procedure will conclude at 5 pm.

The framing in Irish Vs French media is remarkable, despite more intense opposition from French farmers their concerns are put forward (hormone laced beef, deforestation etc). Meanwhile Irish media frames this as just 'moaning farmers stopping a great deal' #speirgorm

It seems to me here using a dummy account that the long-press “Edit Image with Grok” is still available to non-paying users on Twitter. Is it just the “@grok” tweet based prompting that has been set to subscriber only perk?

No I'm aware you're running other campaigns @envpillar.bsky.social, this has nearly nothing to do with import of hormone treated deforestation beef just for pesticides EU export. There have been numerous protests, have you or your members attended a single one? This isn't a gotcha, it's consistency

11 days from now marks one year since this guy got away with doing a Nazi salute on live TV. Since then, he - the world's richest man - has gutted govt programmes causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children and turned his microblogging website into a child porn generator. Consequences!

X.com level stuff here

2018: “Tumblr has been removed from Apple's app store because it let some users post images of child sexual abuse.”

First thing any environmental NGO has said about #EUMercosur in the last six months after the work has been done to get Ireland to reject it. Maybe didn't want to offend all their supporters working in big pharma? A great opportunity for common ground missed, not one but shocked though.

Hot take: if you're an "environmentalist" who only posted about #EUMercosur to have a go at farmers & not because it'll lead to an increase in deforestation, poorer standards for workers, & increase in methane, you're why the environmentalist movement has lost so badly lately.

How can we accept to get products with low agricultural standards when our farmers should have highers? One day, french people will be upset by Europe and massively call for a brexit. Not because of far right or far left inside our country, but because they will be tired to not be listen.

Not good for EU citizens to be put at risk of unsafe food after decades of increasing regulation on EU food producers in order to sell some drugs, inferior tech cars and pesticides #EU #Speirgorm

Are they all wearing the same colour shirts by any chance?

Yet how many outlets blamed farmers for the high cost of food? #speirgorm

✈️ For years, EU passenger rights have guaranteed fair treatment during flight delays or cancellations. Now, these rights face serious threats. The “Save your right, save your flight!” initiative is aiming to safeguard fair air travel for everyone. 🖊️ Add your name today: lnkd.in/er_4GCWh

Security is vital to Europe's future. Food is vital to Europe's today. There should be no contradiction in this but if politicians fail to achieve one why is it the fault of the other? As for 'ransom' ask msot EU citizens if they support farmers? Of all professions, farmers enjoy the highest trust

BREAKING Irish Govt to move Grok to another parish.

@newschambers.bsky.social brave enough to ask this essential question! #speirgorm

European food is produced to some of the highest quality and environmental standards in the world. If the Irish government vote in favour of the Mercosur trade deal, as proposed, it amounts to nothing less than a complete betrayal of Irish agriculture.

Who is really “running” the European Parliament right now? On the margins of the geopolitical changes, the shifts in the EU are also accelerating. In my newest EU-Analytics, I dug into all final votes from December 2025 – and the shift of power to the centre-right & far right is accelerating:

🔥🇪🇺 “Europeans enjoy more free time than Americans, a higher life expectancy and lower levels of inequality – all with roughly comparable productivity. Whichever way you look at it, this is a significantly superior economic performance.”

3 times in one bulletin #speirgorm

Notice a lot of @news.rte.ie correspondents say things like 'this is the bind for the Europeans'. Add this to reporting from NY on meeting happening in Paris because there's no French correspondent. Just an example of how we it's reinforced that we're not 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 Europeans #speirgorm

Wow hows that for framing by @irishtimes.com! "Farm organisations have also COMPLAINED..." Not an independent investigation found only a month ago illegal antibiotics use. Not an EU Commission recall of Brazilian beef before Christmas due to illegal hormone use & confirmed it will reoccur #speirgorm

While everyone is distracted by Circus Trump, European countries let his far-right sponsor and mentor of JD Vance in via the backdoor. No European government should work with Palantir. None.

🇭🇺🇸🇰 The new year breathes fresh life into an established fact that doing anything related to politics and law in CEE without a degree in history or an adjacent field is extremely difficult.

What I wrote. But to be clear, the Berlin case remains uncertain

Will the Irish government even be asked? #speirgorm

Somebody on here quipped earlier that we live in precedented times. It hit home with me. In 2003 I watched US troops roll in to the oil rich Iraqi city of Kirkuk and roll straight out the other side to take up defensive positions around the oil refinery. 1/

They hardly have much choice, do they… Isn’t this the point where the EU should be switching whole scale away from US software?
