It's not just Gaza. From the West Bank to Syria and Lebanon, Israel's onslaught continues | Nesrine Malik Broken ceasefires, bombing, ground incursions and mounting deaths: Israeli imperialism is now expanding across the region, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

“It is clear now that the ceasefire in Gaza is only a “reducefire”. The onslaught continues. There are near-daily attacks..Meanwhile, Israel’s emerging blueprint becomes clearer: bloody domination not only in Gaza, but across Palestine & the wider region”

'The only way for people in this group to be confident that everyone will see them as either male of female – and, indeed, the only option for anyone who wants to be sure of never being questioned – is to play up to gender stereotypes.'

Exactly, this is taking is back to Victorian times.

Dublin councillors accuse Taoiseach of 'chilling political intimidation' after Herzog Park row Independent councillors have sought an independent report on the Taoiseach’s intervention against their plan to change the park’s name.

The Dublin City Council chief has insisted he was not pressured to scrap the renaming of Herzog Park by "national political figures" over the weekend.

But councillors have criticised the level of involvement from both the government and a senior civil servant.

Statement from the Taoiseach condemning the denaming of Herzog Pk saying it would erase the history of Jewish people in Ireland

You would think that someone with a degree in history would understand that renaming a park cannot and will not erase any history of any community or group, similarly to how the taking down statues of slavers has not erased the history of slavery! #speirgorm

Congratulations to Mary on being appointed @araukie.bsky.social Ambassador 2025-26. A richly deserved recognition of her continued commitment to unearthing the stories of the often forgotten women of Ireland.

The wonderful things you see when rambling through the city - ‘a consciousness of their own dignity and worth should be encouraged in women’, Countess Markievicz #speirgorm

I wonder if I could work that into an article about the impacts of the war of independence?

Ah you’d know! Yes

Lovely photo of my mother and her friends - can you guess which one she is! My sister looks more like her than I do, but I do look a bit like her too! #speirgorm

Kathy Sheridan: Where is the kindness when we talk about trans people? Number of trans people in Irish society is tiny – and each one is a human being

Where is the kindness when we talk about trans people? Deeply empathetic essay from Kathy Sheridan. The take of the young girl at the centre of transphobic outrage at a match is a horror story, but this where transphobia takes people! #speirgorm
