now a tesco express 😢

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

or just ever.

Really interesting point that the country got wealth before having the institutions in place to deal with it. Nordics etc have been prosperous much longer.

apart from that (and having to listen to Brolly shiteing on) lots of interesting perspectives. Thanks for sharing!

Listening to it now. Lost some credibility early when she talked about spending 50k in one year on her health in the US and immediately said it’s just as bad here. And also made the US sound more equal than here too. +

Mick Kelly: We’re only ever nine meals away from anarchy. That risk is no longer just theoretical Ireland is sleepwalking into a food security crisis. We have just 74 field-scale vegetable growers left, down from around 600

Ireland is playing a dangerous game with food security.

'The policies of successive governments have prioritised an export-led agricultural system leveraging the big beasts of beef and dairy, while ignoring the needs of our indigenous veg and fruit growers.'

The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

Are we hearing this message, Ireland???

We could well be in *very* deep trouble if we don't.

but meanwhile we (gov’t) have allowed our horticulture industry to be decimated. So short sighted. all while peddling the myth that we feed the world 🙄

Hell will freeze over before the EU takes any collective action against Tel Aviv. There is simply no red line when it comes to Israel’s mountainous atrocities.

That just 3 out of 27 EU states are calling to revisit the Israel-EU association agreement is absolutely shocking.

The 3 are calling for the EU to uphold its moral responsibility, and “defend the very core values that have underpinned the European project since its foundation.”

Important insights in this thread. A different level of aggression emerging in Ireland?

but don’t you want to unlock good memories?

This is outrageous.

Just after Trump announced his sham ceasefire, Israel bombed an ambulance workers funeral in South Lebanon.

Channel 4 News was there and captured everything.

Israel does NOT want peace. It wants to keep committing genocide and stealing other people’s land.

Lelia is a mighty woman.

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.

I’m afraid to look 😱

Article 2

On April 21st the 27 EU member country leaders will vote on whether to suspend the EU's Free Trade agreement with Israel.

The agreement that sustains Israel’s economy.

The agreement that commits both sides to respecting human rights.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Wait til our fuel protesters hear about this …

Build a good bike lane - it'll get used.

Rialto, Dublin. 14th April 2026

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground.

Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground.

War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

China won the war.

I’ve had it marked in my calendar for months!

Horseshoe effect!

So sorry to read this Tony, awful for your family. Your sister is amazing to do this.

Would love to see protest leaders being challenged on these figures. How much are they prepared for other sectors to sacrifice for their demands to be met.

Sounds like a normal day on the N15 so.

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:

a. Incompetent
b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't
c. a & b
