Today, you will be told that chanting about killing the people shooting those desperately seeking aid is actually worse than shooting those desperately seeking aid, actually.

The good work of the Israeli "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" has killed 450 Palestinians in 26 days. 3,466 have been wounded and at least 40 are missing, most likely dead.
And that's without the humanitarian work of the airstrikes...

You can't call yourself 'pro Palestine' and be anti-immigrant, btw. You either care about other people, or you don't.

UNRWA loses contact with Gaza team

Massively bored of transphobes' fixation with the idea of a "biological woman", so have decided to be a quantum physical woman instead (displaying a lot of weird and confusing behaviours that are complicated to explain)

For those paying attention that’s from “common sense” to “complex issue” in less than 24hrs.

C’mere to me, if Mothers Against Genocide had actually wanted the Govt to enact the Occupied Territories Bill then they should’ve stuck to the democratic process and gotten Stephen Graham to star in a Netflix drama about the Bill. Amirite.

I’m running a half marathon this weekend to raise awareness for people like Govt TD Barry Heneghan who suffers from Ameyedebadguyitis.
Symptoms include being a government TD, but identifying as independent.

Please help if you can.

There's an incredible amount of lies and spin coming from government.
People see through it. They're not going to be able to talk their way out of it!

A not insignificant number of women athletes are going to get a helluva surprise and have the foundations of everything they thought they knew about themselves shaken cos sex isn’t the simple binary u learned in school. And all cos of ignorance, unfounded fears, and a small cabal of obsessed bigots

Blowing up hospitals - over and over and over again.

Do you really think the West will get away with facilitating this depravity?

Post-Covid anxiety is key driver in children skipping school, pilot programme finds Children lost an estimated 11.5 million days of learning last autumn term as school absence rates remain higher than pre-pandemic

“Post-Covid anxiety & poor mental health a ‘key driver in children skipping school’”

..framing & blaming 🤔

A Great Ormond St Study found 25% children infected had Long Covid 3 months later, & 7% had it 2 years later

Surely also a factor in school attendance? www.independent.co.uk/news/educati...

Haven’t watched Adolescence yet but I see we’re pretending that it’s only kids who are radicalised by their darn phones and not a sizeable portion of the adult population. Including journalists, politicians and your favourite content creators

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Just for the avoidance of doubt, it's a lobbying firm.
The former Taoiseach has become a lobbyist.

Much of the media and our world leaders may have moved on. But your humanity must not.

I have been contacted by a number of parents of kids at Sacred Heart Schools in Killinarden today regarding the critical lack of funding for the schools.

In particular the Sacred Heart Junior School requires funding from the government in the next few days if they are to keep their doors open beyon

Image depicting Famine-era eviction by modern day Gardaí by SpiceBag

Adam - SpiceBag - Doyle came to public attention because of this (controversial?) depiction of a Famine-era eviction being carried out by modern day private security and our own Garda.
But his latest work outside of the #EchoChamberPod hasn’t made headlines. Why not?

‘If a landlord can buy a log cabin for €30,000 and charge €2,000 a month, it’s a no-brainer’ – housing crisis raises demand for alternative accommodation The owner of one of Ireland’s biggest log cabin companies has said the demographic of his customers is “young couples with a child who are disheartened and broken” by the lack of affordable housing.

€30,000 won’t build much, will we to see rock-bottom standards & sky high prices?

Surrealing in the Years: Granny flat plan would have us living like garden gnomes Relying on granny flats simply gives landlords more opportunities to screw renters.

“Anyone who has ever spent time searching for an apartment online will know that many Irish landlords don’t even feel the need to make their traditional rentals especially liveable — which does not augur well for a situation that is less liveable to begin with.”
