Horrific

I can’t so much as buy a tin of beans without thinking about how our ruling classes are currently enabling a colonial war of genocide and mass starvation in Palestine. If our world had any shred of justice these monsters would rot in The Hague.

Palestinian self-determination is an inalienable right, not a bargaining chip.

While children starve to death, Keir Starmer refuses to expel the Israeli ambassador, impose full trade sanctions, enforce a full arms embargo or end surveillance flights.

It’s Labour’s genocide too.

DO IT NOW YOU FUCKER

🎙️ It's now my turn to sit in the hot seat, but "Ní hansae"! 👀 I discuss lots of things including the usual suspects: Cork, Acallam na Senórach and manuscripts, but there's some other stuff too 😉 I hope people enjoy the episode!

We have the same type of initiative here in France and I must say I find it quite cynical considering we are underpaid, research in general in underfunded and there have been a lot of budget cuts in the past few years…

Deir Catherine Connolly, atá ag seasamh d’uachtaránacht na hÉireann, gur chóir go mbeadh Gaeilge ag an uachtarán agus tá geallúint tugtha aici go mbeadh an Ghaeilge agus an Ghaeltacht ar cheann de “téamaí móra” na hoifige dá dtoghfaí í 🇮🇪

Tá aithne curtha agam ar bhuachaill óg ó Gaza, a bhfuil bua ar leith aige don mhata. Le scrios iomlán an chórais oideachais ní raibh an deis aige an mheánscoil a chríochnú.

A great keynote by @bamcshane.bsky.social to begin the @catholicrs.bsky.social conference. Loads of food for thought which clearly came through with the well-engaged with Q&A afterwards

Tonight! Join us for an evening with Prof. Ilan Pappé on Israel’s ongoing genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and the struggle for Palestinian liberation. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most prominent voices in the global movement for Palestinian freedom. #FreePalestine

It's now clear from the Israeli occupation forces' own figures that they've murdered over 377000 people so far in Gaza.

That's more than 100 times the death toll in the North of Ireland, over 30 years, they've slaughtered in 20 months.

Unforgivable. The most evil regime on earth.

FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

Now is a moment to reshare this video

"The Prime Minister has called for Glastonbury to axe Kneecap from its line-up after a band member was charged with a terror offence" - The Sun

You know what's "not appropriate" Keir?!

Arming a fucking genocide...

Fuck The Sun and solidarity with Palestine Action. 🇵🇸

We've plastered London with a few messages ahead of this witch-hunt.

British courts have long charged people from the North of Ireland with "terrorism" for crimes never committed.

We will fight them.

We will win.

GRMA to our pals at The Tenth Man for sorting.

A.I. Is Poised to Rewrite History. Literally.

This is some bleak shit. Historians literally outsourcing the creative and research process to a thieving algorithm ripping off the IP of their own fellow-historians.

Says everything that they’re doing it from a Google office.

Hacks. They should be ashamed.

The red mist that PBP give FF, FG & some media is quite telling. They know PBP are right, but can't bear to admit it.

The chair of Irish Red Cross calling the #GlobalMarchToGaza a circus coz he is mad at Paul Murphy for defending Int law & taking action.

People doing what govs should.

Children’s reading enjoyment falls to lowest recorded level in UK Annual survey of young people’s reading habits which began two decades ago shows its lowest-ever result, most pronounced among boys aged 11 to 16

Children’s reading enjoyment falls to lowest recorded level in UK

Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches? Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation. Reporter: Are you worried about the others? Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis. Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?” Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”

This is how.

Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.
