Woman released after arrest at Belfast protest
The woman was arrested on Linenhall Street in Belfast on Saturday.
Ah here. Half of Belfast has signs up supporting various proscribed organisations. I can walk out my door and go find some proscribed organisation flags quite handy.
This is about suppressing the right to protest.

Call for 30km/h speed limit in urban areas
Road safety should be the top priority on our roads! And moving rural roads to 60km is a great start. However, phase two, reducing urban areas to 30 km/h, is being decided upon by each local authority. Creating bureaucratic delays and barriers to increased road safety πΈ

βCyclists move like a swarm of sparrows,β he said. βThere are thousands of them moving in chaos, but there are no collisions. They turn a little bit; they change their speed. You must do the same.β

What happens when your mum goes to prison?
In the UK, more than half of women in prison are mothers. For their children, the consequences can be profound.
A year ago I was connected to the BBC Ideas team by @ukri.org They asked me about the impact of maternal imprisonment. By the end of the meeting they were shocked, upset & determined to make a film about it.
This is it.
Huge kudos to the women who took part πͺπΌ

Maybe northern Germany isnβt the fanciest place. But quality of life means also going on a date dressed nicely, by bike π², without feeling stressed, because there are safe bike lanes. And where there arenβt, bikes still have priority.
Biking brings happiness (when you feel safe)

THEY WON'T LET THEM PLAY.
All necessary visas were denied, with some
refusals citing a lack of information--yet we
have supplied all required documentation,
including parental consent forms. We
requested the Department of Justice to
engage directly with us to verify and
provide assurance that all documentation
was in order, but our efforts were met with
silence.
Today, the GAA Palestine Executive
travelled to Dublin to seek clarity and
resolution. We met with a secretary from the
Department of Justice who initially assured
us that a senior officer would meet with us
this afternoon. However, at 4:38 p.m., we
received an email dismissing our concerns
and directing us to an appeals process. This
process, we are told, will take an indefinite
amount of time and effectively prevent the
team from traveling on 18th July.
The Irish Embassy in Tel Aviv's insistence
that flights be purchased prior to visa
approval has resulted in a loss of β¬38,000
on non-refundable tickets. This reckless
requirement, combined with the visa
refusals-despite some members having
previously travelled to Ireland this year
without issue--raises serious questions
about transparency and fairness.
The Irish govt have treated these children with contempt. They deliberately lied about discussing the situation with GAA Palestine and have denied the visas despite full compilance and offering no information on their reasoning.
