still can’t believe that given the choice between “bountiful, free, clean energy from the earth, wind, and sun” and “poisonous dead animal sludge price sensitive to global politics” we keep choosing the latter
248 US military flights over Ireland went unreported due to ‘administrative error’
Well that is some admin error - get the US military out of Shannon #USoutofShannon

The house philosophers of the American regime will no doubt tell the pope that he doesn't understand advanced French thought either.

Under the Public Processions (NI) Act 1998, N. Ireland has the Parades Commission which regulates public processions and protests. This fascist rally was given the go ahead despite the town’s businesses saying they would have to send black & migrant workers home for their own safety. [1/n]
how is this literally happening in real life
Hope is good, abolishing the veto in EU foreign policy would be better.
Trump: Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them. The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom. Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel. The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what's on board! President DONALD J.

New research has just dropped - men understand consent - they just don’t care.
95% of men surveyed forced women to have sex with them knowing she didn’t want to.
95%.
They know. They just don’t care.
We need to change our approach.

This issue highlights the intersectional nature of disability and poverty - not only is a young girl being deprived of the comfort and safety of a disabled spot near her home, but her carer is being put through endless stressful loops trying to secure it

"The joy on the faces of far-right men, more angry, angry men, tells me everything I need to know about the blockades and this new standard of protest... We respond to the needs of angry, suffering men before the needs of everybody else."

“If Ireland is facilitating the monstrous ICE project, then we fear the government has lost its way. Rather than cower and capitulate, it must show courage, compassion, and principle”.

Ireland is America's gateway to the occupied territories. Weapons of war and genocide fly over our heads far too frequently. 1,200+ times in 2025 alone.
It's high time we close the fucking gate.
1/7. We Americans have a hard time seeing ourselves in the world, and so even when we want to criticize our fascist oligarchs we fail to see the international networks of which they are nodes.
I'm in 'oh wow, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I really hope that thread opens..... Ah shite' mode.

HEADS-UP, IRELAND: A likely ICE flight has just landed at Shannon again, likely to refuel before delivering shackled migrants to god-knows-where.
This is the same plane that sent migrants to Uganda — a country they had never been to before — on April 1.

Well why in the name of jaysus did you ask me that then? 🙄
We're not all Americans my friend. I have a tiny homestead in the West of Ireland and try to live within my very modest means. For example, I haven't taken a holiday since 2016.
Your country has rightly screwed us all over.
Hmm, yes that's an upside for sure. Downside for me is that my guest house bookings may get cancelled and then I can't pay my bills!
Guys I’m just out here clarifying homonyms
This one on the Healy-Raes is, I think, going to stick.
Not to tell the pope his job but there are a LOT of couch references to choose from.... I like this revelations one especially.
"'Judgement is mine', sayeth the Lord, but I suspect IKEA also has some questions JD."
Yayyy! Yes, I knew that for sure 🙏😁
Interesting that almost half most people's followers aren't real though!
Jeepers, that's awful! 😂🤣
I spent ages in my first few months up here painstakingly trying to decipher if random followers were real and blocking if I thought they weren't. Then gave up.
Wouldn't know where to start now. Maybe someone will write some clever code so I can declutter.
Interested to see how many I let slip through! @realfollowers.bsky.social

I see a composed woman with a voice of integrity and courage. Your very apparent deep-seated misogyny is exactly why the vast majority of rape cases don't go to court. We expect to have to come up against your disgusting lack.
