Hmm, what do β€˜central camps’ and β€˜final plan’ remind you of?

McGregor's latest petition is just more empty posturing. He knows he won't be nominated and he's probably relieved - because he knows he hasn't a hope in hell of being elected.

Confidence in the GardaΓ­ among the migrant community is on the floor at the moment. This has been going on for years and it has intensified to at least one attack every day now.

Silence from the Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan and silence from the government.

Sounds about right for this FF/FG government! ⬇️

Where’s the Biodiversity Minister fighting his corner in this crucial first year?

For that matter where’s the SF crowd? The opposition except when it comes to the environment where it doesn’t seem to even recognise biodiversity.

Thought fuchsia and montbretia were native Irish plants? Think again Japanese knotweed has been described as the supreme weed, yet it was still being sold in Irish garden centres right up until the 1980s

Great article.

Great to see fuschia and montbretia under the spotlight as they get an easy pass in Ireland imo.

Just because its pretty, nostalgic or "x is worse than y" doesn't mean its not harmful to our native wildlife.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

I know there's a risk of amplifying the fascist horror show, but I think we need to be aware of just how far things are going, especially as this man is a Republican candidate for governor of California. All the old safeguards are being deliberately torn down, and the unspeakable normalised.

🧡Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A small human (5?) is standing in line at a checkout with his mum. He says: "I'm grumpy Mum."

Mum puts an arm around his shoulders. "Would a banana help?"

He nods, scowling: "Yeah. I might need two. I'm REALLY grumpy."(1)

Not only is ragwort not a danger in this location (presumably they are not cutting the lawn for silage), it’s an important food source for the beautiful cinnabar moth.

A new play area in Chelmsford is designed by local schoolgirls What can be done about boys dominating playground space? Ask girls to help design public parks

Beyond football and skateparks: this groundbreaking new playground designed by girls is proof that when you involve young people, you get imaginative and equitable public spaces.

A group of life-sized dummies, posed as refugees in orange life jackets, are packed into a small boat placed on top of a tall bonfire built from wooden pallets. Large banners reading β€œSTOP THE BOATS” and β€œVETERANS BEFORE REFUGEES” are attached to the bonfire. The Green Party logo is visible at the top, and bold text reads β€œBURNING SHAME.” The scene is outdoors at night, with the bonfire ablaze, creating an atmosphere of hostility and intimidation. No real people are present.

Lighting this bonfire a day early to protect a grotesque display of dummies in a boat doesn’t just shame our community - it exposes the real dummies behind it. There’s nothing cultural about racism, intimidation, or mocking those fleeing war and persecution.

Minister Healy-Rae is using "whataboutery" and misdirection to justify an illegal industry that is destroying our environment at a massive scale thanks to the complicity of the government from local to national level 🧡

Heatwaves, oligarchs and global chaos: Welcome to the era of climate change Our failure to prepare for climate breakdown has meant the rise of global inequality and political instability, writes John Gibbons.

As Europe wilts under a record heatwave, a scene that could have been from 'The Hunger Games' unfolded as over 90 private jets descended on Venice for marriage of hyper-billionaire Jeff Bezos.

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.

Can you break your journey on a Sail Rail ticket? I’ve often changed trains in Chester, but have never gone outside of the station. I might go an have a look at the shrine on my next journey over there.

Yale professor who studies fascism fleeing US to work in Canada Jason Stanley, who says grandmother fled Berlin with his father in 1939, says US may become β€˜fascist dictatorship’

Absolutely horrifying. Right before our eyes, US is sliding into full blown fascism with barely a murmur of resistance as the domestic quislings rush to capitulate.
