Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law “I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

Chapeau.

It’s incredibly silly but it’s v good. Some great episodes in the second half of the season. Enjoy!

i know i'm just repeating what we all already know, but the side-by-side of a football manager candidate forefeiting his campaign while his 68-year-old opponent demonstrates preternatural keepy-uppy skills and wins unanimous praise for it is historically funny

GRMA!

Books Upstairs is a fine store with a particularly excellent poetry section. Why not support them by ordering your books online instead: booksupstairs.ie

This is causing a lot of confusion so there's a handy mnemonic you can use:

If your Gavin be gruesome, you'll find he's a Newsom.
If your rent he be havin', you've got a Jim Gavin.

My mam has been driving for 40+ years never having done a driving test. She got one of those free licenses they were handing out in the early 80s when the backlog was huge.

It’s frustrating, no question. One response I liked from Dublin City Council is this, recently added to the North Strand after the flags were put up

Health warning: The Gavin campaign has deleted their social media accounts, so anything you see purporting to be from those in the next two weeks is a hoaxer

Looks like there was a fire in Books Upstairs on D’Olier street overnight ☹️

Haha exactly!

The danger is real per the links below . The council does not have a security force. The Gardaí are not resourced to deal with this additional work. So the approach is to wait until they are ragged and remove them under littering laws.

My understanding is that DCC will remove the flags in time once they become ragged / dirty.

There is a risk to the health and safety of any council workers removing flags. As an employer, the council has a duty of care towards its staff and won’t put them at risk of assault. The risk is very real, there are some dangerous people involved in the flag operation.

What a beautiful day with Catherine Connolly in the Inner City yesterday. Catherine has tapped into something special, the energy and hope in this campaign to elect a president with values, integrity, and a real connection to the people she seeks to serve. You can feel it building everyday.

I think Jim Gavin was a better pick than Hanafin, which is saying something as a balloon would have been better than Landlord Jim.

He definitely doesn’t have rent theft in his closet of skeletons though. Not saying he would have won, but he wouldn’t have lost FF’s deposit.

Back in the days before transport wasn’t politicised the way it is now (thanks to billions spent in marketing and lobbying by the oil and car industries) so common sense approaches like “get the bus, it’s better for everyone” were less controversial

They had Billy Kelleher. He would have been fine. I said as much at the time.

They were lying when they said they wanted the guns to protect against govt overreach. ICE shows what they really wanted them for.

Hopefully the Luas can pick up the slack / extra trams can be laid on to help. This would have been a lot worse if there was no Luas there. Like it’s going to be zero craic, but no different to say London Underground style construction disruption.

Unfortunately for Jim Gavin, across all codes and creeds there are simply very few charges more universally sympathetic than "my ex-landlord owes me thousands of euro"

I usually resort to blocking. See ya!

No, believe me, you’re the asshole here.

Gavin: 'Looking into' reports former tenant owed €3,300 Presidential election candidate Jim Gavin has said he is looking into reports he owes a former tenant €3,300, but that he did not have "all the information" about the matter.

The poll shows that Catherine Connolly is leading and can win.

This would be huge - a blow to the FG/FF government and their disastrous plans on housing and dismantling neutrality.

But expect an establishment onslaught now.

We need to build our grassroots campaign to win this.

Why not photoshop an oul Kremlin in there while you’re at it?
