If youโ€™re an Irish citizen - and want our artists to flourish โ€” please fill in this simple survey (5 multiple choice questions). It makes sense to have Universal Basic Income for all โ€” so at least this scheme is a start.

Blood plasma and house paint โ€” reducers of crime?
YouTube video by Partners for Justice Blood plasma and house paint โ€” reducers of crime?

So I read a really dystopian piece of research... which I will tell you about here.

Academics at 11 universities call for trade freeze with Israel over 'well-televised' genocide The group also argued it is 'morally repugnant' to enrich ourselves as a country 'by turning a blind eye to well-documented suffering in Gaza'

The board of Trinity College Dublin voted to cut ties with Israeli universities and fully divest from all companies based in Israel, becoming the first Irish university to do so. www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine.

This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs.

We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers โ€” it's time to raise the alarm now.
