The systemic dehumanisation of Palestinian life by Israeli forces is just one part of the darkest chapters in human history.
Imagine if every time an IRA bomb had gone off in London or Manchester the British government has bombed the shit out of Dublin and killed 100 kids. That’s the nearest equivalent I can think of. Madness.
"You can draw a direct line from Hegseth’s disdain for rules of engagement right to his contempt for the role of an adversarial press." @gregsargent.bsky.social
The kind of pragmatism or ‘concern’ that means our environment always comes last in every single one of the guys choices.
The ongoing consultations on Ireland’s Nature Restoration Plan show strong support for ambitious nature restoration on public land. It is encouraging to see that Minister O’Sullivan is listening and is determined to be ambitious. He will have plenty of support.

The next six months could be the ultimate in teachable moments, with rapidly rising prices for oil, and rapidly rising temperatures. And what do you know, we have a midterm exam coming up on November 3.

Sounds a good’ish decision. ⬇️
Pollute a massively special place.
Pay a big fine.

HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
IATP Europe's Sophie Scherger in Le Monde: "The scientists’ advice is loud and clear: Fundamental changes in our food system are needed today to address the climate crisis and protect the livelihoods of farmers and rural communities."
These are the primary dates for each state. We each have one state to worry about. Best strategy is to find out which of your candidates is the AIPAC stooge and vote for the next strongest candidate. Tell your friends and family, too.
When people stop resisting, the ultra-rich take over.
Don’t let it happen.
Resistance is Existence, London, March 24.

Today, the Government stepped back from the most damaging recommendations that threatened to gut the laws protecting our most precious places for nature.
With wildlife already in crisis, anything else would have been reckless.
But avoiding the worst is not enough. Nature needs ambitious action.

Substantial fine but not max of €250k which shd have been imposed for flagrant breach of law & destruction of hedgerows. Coolmore statement that they werent aware of EIA regs doesnt hold water.Every beneficiary of CAP money receives a booklet with all the regs.

What stage of the dystopia is this?
It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.
Republican farm bill criticized as agribusiness giveaway: ‘pesticide industry wishlist’
This just in: Sun agrees to release infinity million barrels of sunshine every morning
There are quite a few cynical and sinister figures in British public life. But Tony Blair is among the very worst. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
They don't see Palestinians as human beings. Raping another human isn't a crime to the IOF, even w/ evidence on film, bc they have dehumanized millions to normalize atrocities.
What the IOF is doing to Palestinians, ICE is doing to immigrants. Stephen Miller wants them to be able to do it to you.
On this island nation our never ending FF/FG government can’t raise itself to protect our most important resource - our seas.
Couldn’t make it up!
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

The hard work is yet to even start on climate change adaptation. Our emissions are waaay worse that they seem
www.irishtimes.com/environment/...
One answer - this FF/FG is particularly useless on the environment.
It doesn’t figure in their calculations.
Total impunity.
Also just a reminder that "well the percentage sounds small so why bother" is a right-wing talking point that has been used to argue against action for decades, and has somehow permeated centre-left spaces as a defence of AI and data centres in the past year or so
There’s never enough money to forgive student loans or give people healthcare but always money to drop bombs on brown people.
😂
Translation.
“Data centre opens, burning fossil fuel, instead of using renewables and further destroying Ireland’s chance of meeting its legal requirement to reduce carbon emissions by 51%
Your welcome.
