Photo of Lelia Doolan, a 91 year old fit-looking white Irish woman wearing a hiviz jacket standing with her hands on her hips on the road somewhere between Roscrea and Mountrath.
A route map showing the starting points for each day of Lelia's peace march. Between March 31 and April 15, Lelia will have covered 222.6 kilometres. Today, Wednesday 8th, she is walking from Mountrath to Portlaoise and is past the halfway point.
Ireland is complicit in genocide as long as the US military uses Shannon airport.
91yo Lelia Doolan - veteran peace activist, film-maker and firebrand - is leading a 16-day march from Shannon to Leinster House. You can join her at any point for any distance.

The front cover of this week’s Economist shows President Xi in focus smiling at Trump who is in the foreground out of focus ranting. The Economist’s headline read/: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
Under the terms of the ceasefire, if an American oil tanker wants to transit the Strait of Hormuz, it must pay $2 million. In Chinese yuan. To Iran.
The United States has crossed the event horizon of political humiliation.

Fuel price protests causing second day of disruption
There are delays to public transport in Dublin city and fuel depots in Galway and Limerick have been blocked as fuel price protests cause a second day of disruption around the country.
I absolutely loathe these people. Not just cos they’re infiltrated by the far-right and conspiracy theorists, but also because they only ever show up for their own narrow self-interest. When have they ever shown solidarity with literally any group in society other than themselves?

Tánaiste says families will be asked for input on child spinal inquiry as he accepts he broke 2017 promise
Simon Harris today said he accepts ‘political accountability’ for a 2017 commitment that no child would have to wait more than four months for scoliosis treatment.
Logging on to say, although our experience pales into insignificance to that experienced by the Sherratt family, our experience of six years on the CHI train has been nothing short of absolutely frustrating to downright negligent. I get angry evwn thinking about it. www.thejournal.ie/harris-scoli...

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

The moral of the story as usual is for the west, that brown, Arab, Iranian lives are worth less than white ones, Israel plays into this often as well, we are the savages, terrorists and are often acceptable collateral damage for geopolitical aims, the end

Colorful quilt of a nighttime scene with Harriet Tubman in an orange jacket and purple dress carrying a rifle. She is leading other figures who walk behind her.
Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Paul Golding of Britain First tweets "In the UK it's illegal to kill a badger but legal to kill a nine month old baby. LET THAT SINK IN 😡" Accompanied is a pic of a badger and a cute pic of a baby.
Reply to Paul Golding from "Prometheus" says "thats because they aren't trying to erase the race of the badgers. Just white British"
Sometimes twitter white supremacy serves accidental Partridge.
I wldnt steal a badger but I'd download one if I could.
