What is the purpose of a police service that allows this shit to continue year on year with seemingly zero consequence

Tweet from Stuart Stevens: When Democrats take the House, they must understand they are not a governing party. They are a dissident movement. Act like it. First day: - cut off all funding of Exec. Branch -vote to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX -defund ICE That's the first day. On the second, get more aggressive. There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos.

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide.

The German state is a disgrace.

It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide.

It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

Israel’s defence ministry just announced a contract to buy drones from Xtend. Its SKYLORD drone system was developed with €50,000 in EU Horizon money, which is not supposed to fund military applications. The EU grant page links to the current Xtend website, advertising its “military grade” drones

If you made a horror movie in which the bad guys sent flying robots to drop grenades on women and children taking refuge in tents, it would seem too comically evil to be believable.

But that's what Israel is doing in real life, right now, every day.

Famously when The Life of Brian came out it inspired no controversy and prominent Christians said it was just a bit of fun, no harm done

Millions in EU funds have gone to Israeli defence industry, investigation finds Money has continued to flow to military tech firms since siege of Gaza in 2023

I dug into the Israeli entities that have received EU funding. Here’s what I found -

Berlin, Germany - broken arm, broken nose, broken State.

I feel like CMAT has really tapped into something here and it explains why FFG don’t really want to solve the housing crisis - the more recession children who emigrate, the better their chances of constant re-election

Show some fucking self-respect @news.rte.ie

The Israelis murdered your colleagues and you still give their murderers the benefit of the doubt?

CMAT ruled him out. Stand down.

For those who feared the summit on Ukraine might resemble Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler in 1938, the reality was worse.

To be clear, the decision to leave was not orchestrated, it was organic. Nobody contacted me to tell me to leave. Each of the 14 writers chose to leave, because of their own sense of integrity as to what the Polari Prize claimed to stand for. 3/

Recently, Boyne wrote that those women who supported transgender women were akin to people willing to ‘pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her’. /5

Show your support: buy Queer as Folklore by Sacha Coward, Bloodsongs by Mae Diansangu, Impossible Heat by Ciara Maguire, Revolutionary Acts: Love & Brotherhood in Black Gay Britain by Jason Okundaye, Spoilt Creatures by Amy Twigg

By my count this makes 5 out of 12 authors on the Polari First Book longlist who have withdrawn. It's hard to understate the moral courage this involves, esp for folk launching their first book into the world. As so often, those with the most to lose end up showing the most moral fibre.

'Huge opportunity to revitalise historic street' as four buildings in Cork city centre acquired by council Numbers 62-65 North Main St — known as Paradise Place — are now vested in the city council following their acquisition under the terms of the 1990 ...

6 years this has taken. 6 years!
Time to bite the bullet and pedestrianise North Main Street similar to Oliver Plunkett St. #Cork

That was a bit cringe. Turned it off.

Great to see Terry Prone sitting next to a column titled "The truth is being exhumed in Tuam. But will Ireland ever face it?"

Leerstehendes ICC für Besichtigung im September geöffnet

Mark your calendar: if you're in Berlin the weekend of September 12-14, you can tour (for free with reservations) the famous ICC convention center, a 1970s futurist masterpiece that looks not unlike Battlestar Galactica on the outside and a Logan's Run set on the inside.

I remember that and it really felt like “Ricky produces something so he can rub shoulders with actually funny comedians and Jerry Seinfeld”

Ricky Gervais Instagram post in which the legendary cool man says "Had a medical this week. As the doctor looked at the results he went "Hmmm, how do you feel? "Great!" I said He said "I'm not surprised. You show all the signs of being a global fucking legend." "Should I do anything" I said. He went "Yeah. Keep being awesome, you genius cunt". Anyway, off to Zurich. #Mortality

it's like every single drop of funny evaporated from his brain decades ago and now he can only post like a Dublin bar owner who thinks he's a "character"

The declaration that Israel had the right to cut off electricity and water, from the mouth of the heralded human rights lawyer, really was the moment where he exposed himself as a vacuous weathervane, twisting as expedient to secure his position in the moment. Embarrassing we’re still doing this.

Would like to see high-vis vests made compulsory for traffic islands too…

Labour people coming out swinging against this but forgetting that Alan Kelly as Housing Minister did the exact same thing

"TD asks about making high-vis compulsory for “all pedestrians, cyclists and users of school transport”

I cannot explain how rage making this is.

WE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. DRIVERS ARE.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.

Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Top tip, bring a small sign with you for community events, it grows the conversation and engagement with passers by.

Palestine Action is to be proscribed at midnight. Zarah Sultana MP - a vocal critic of proscription - has tweeted: "we are all Palestine Action". She tried to say this in the Commons earlier this week too.

(She would be unable to that lawfully after midnight).
