This is a genuinely mindblowing combination. 1) Deliberately false information, 2) promoted in schools, 3) using public money, 4) in the service of private profits, 5) at the cost of our collapsing ecosystem.

As a mother of two and a teacher of 29, I see every day how we’ve made childhood and the lives of children smaller, harder, and poorer than it needs to be; not through inevitability, but through a lack of imagination, care, and any real interest in doing better for children in this country.

Protestors deciding what gets in and out of ports fuel for emergency services, animal feed and water treatment chemicals, is so wild and dangerous. Only bird brains would back this now

A quick look at social media and live streams showing all the anti immigrant, anti IPAS, anti trans crew all over the blockades spinning rubbish re climate crisis etc.

Fuck Data centres

No mention of any research to back this up. It is also surely possible that teachers who continue to foster critical and creative thinking and communication skills will in fact be the most valuable? #speirgorm

It would appear that some "legitimate concerns" are considered more legitimate than others ....

Ireland's data centres nationally are already using energy at 4 times the PROJECTED European average for 2030.
If we're serious about energy conservation the very first thing we have to do is reintroduce the moratorium on building any more of them. #spéirgorm

Please sign and share this EU citizens initiative — demanding the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s continued rights violations.

The initiative has already reached the first threshold across member states. It now needs signatures ✍️ to reach the 1 million mark.

One straightforward consequence of the evildoing of the Israeli government should be that the civilised world refuses to have anything to do with them.

Boycott. Divest. Sanction.

Everyone should have a home Yet 17,308 human beings are now in emergency accommodation Yet the CSO announced this week there were over 70,000 homes vacant which could be compulsory rented This is a broken social contract This is down to government policy This is #DerelictIreland

ALL WOMEN are now facing the full tyranny of anti-trans activists as they rip apart abortion rights. If you shout at them to stop, they will label you aggressive men who don't care about real women.

Stand with your trans sisters to fight back.

Trans rights are ALL WOMEN’S RIGHTS!!

Remember: there's no difference between a fan watch and a hate watch in marketing metrics

So "Up The Ra" is banned as hate speech but "Kill All Taigs" is culture?

Israel is killing medics and children today.

They do this every single day.

On International Women's Day we stand with our Palestinian sisters. We condemn the apartheid, incarceration and genocide that Israel subjects them to and respect their courage, resilience, dignity and resistance. Palestinian women deserve, and will have, freedom, justice and equality. #FreePalestine

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm. [Ends]

Sums it up.

No football for war criminals.

Ireland says no to Israeli football whitewashing in Dublin.

No ICE in Ireland.
I know our Taoiseach is allergic to doing anything about anything, but this needs to be a red line.

There are so many ways that Elon musk is a piece of shit but having destroyed the night sky by filling it with fucking junk is a crime that will go down in myths and legends.
He should be locked under the ocean for all time for celestial vandalism

Love that an English hotel chain sets up in Dublin and five minutes later is going to the courts to try and shut down a long-running staple of our nightlife.

Hoxton? More like Poxton, amirite?

Stop a Canadian corporation harvesting huge forests of seaweed from the west coast There should be a public consultation on this plan opening soon but lets gather signatures to demonstrate the fact that up and down the west coast, thousands of people don't want our seaweed rights gi...

''Acadian Seaplants, a massive Canadian corporation and owner of Arramara Teoranta, has put in an application to harvest tens of thousands of tons of wrack from huge swathes of the west coast.''

Sign the petition and lets stop this from happening ✊️

In case this goes over some heads, the 'black and tans' were Britain's paramilitary police in Ireland during the War of Independence.

After years of burning out whole towns and murdering innocent people, many went straight to Palestine to do the very same, preparing the way for Israeli takeover.

One of the best to ever do it. RIP Catherine
