Speaking of Ecuador 🇪🇨

It makes me sick when I hear media ppl cry indignation about FDI & "Is it worth the risk to Ireland!?" etc.

Wake tf up.

Trump is a fascist dictator intent on burning the world, via bombs in the short term & climate denial in the long term.

Complicity in that is the risk!

Garda at centre of bike loan probe receives €270,000 in settlement At the time the Garda Representative Association had called out the disproportionate nature of the probe and likened it to cracking “a nut with a sledgehammer”.

"THE STATE HAS paid a serving detective €270,000 in a settlement arising out of his three year suspension for giving a loan of a bicycle to an elderly farmer near his home." This is only right, the detective was treated appallingly.

It's a shocking illustration of the government's subordinate postition to US imperialism, and of their moral cowardice, that they cannot speak the truth in front of our eyes.

They cant even condemn the slaughter of schoolchildren and the murder of hundreds more, so as not to irrate Trump.

We need the US out of Shannon airport. We need to end our complicity and our government's tacit support for these imperial warmongers. #USOutOfShannon

Serbien und Albanien: Das wäre ein realistischer Weg in die EU Gastbeitrag Von Edi Rama, Aleksandar Vučić 28.02.2026, 08:26Lesezeit: 4 Min. Rama und Vučić auf einem EU-nahen Treffen in Tirana 2025 Es ist höchste Zeit, dass die EU erkennt: Im Westbalkan liegt eine neue Frontlinie für Investitionen in die Stärke der EU. Ein Plädoyer für ein abgestuftes Beitrittsverfahren. Seit dem Fall der Berliner Mauer hat kaum etwas die Europäische Union so stark verändert wie ihre Erweiterung. Indem die EU ihre Institutionen, Regeln und Märkte auf neue Mitglieder ausdehnte, trug sie dazu bei, Demokratie, Stabilität und Wohlstand in weiten Teilen des Kontinents zu verankern. Kein anderes politisches Instrument hat Europa tiefgreifender oder friedlicher verändert.

This is the awkward realm Europe has entered into with talk of a two-tier Europe. Leaders of two candidate countries asking for a "realistic way" and "accelerated integration" into Europe without "waiting for [European] reform".

The Western Balkans is where the tension is going to be.

Planning permission has been granted for 140 apartments to be built on the site of Bessborough Mother & Baby Home.

Reports have shown that 923 children died in the home.

To build over the site – instead of examining the grounds for remains – would be a desecration.
