Let's get behind Catherine Connolly for President! It is very easy to donate to her campaign and even the price of a cup of coffee would be helpful so just give whatever you can.

I saw a similar one in the Netherlands but it said "Kiss and Ride". My Dutch friends couldn't understand my fit of giggles.

More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza.

And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.

Israel claimed responsibility for killing five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza, including Anas al-Sharif, in a strike on their media tent outside al-Shifa Hospital, bringing the total journalists killed to 237 since the war began.

Israel has assassinated the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza, Netanyahu's government carried out the assassination after the team of journalists spent months reporting on Israeli war crimes, collecting daily evidence of ongoing atrocities.

Our colleagues Al Jazeera reporters Anas al-Sharif & Mohammed Qraiqeh, & cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal & Moamen Aliwa have been killed in a strike on a tent for journalists near Al Shifa hospital. They worked relentlessly through bombing & hunger to document this war. Please remember them

Gaza is a mirror reflecting the world's absolute, unvarnished shame Netanyahu was allowed to turn food into leverage and treat the relief of a besieged population as a prize to be bartered. This is not just immoral or illegal, it is obscene

“This is not famine. This is weaponised hunger. The deliberate strangling of a people - not with rope, but with red tape. Not just with bombs, but with bureaucracy… The world did not merely fail Gaza. It abandoned her. And in doing so, it exposed itself.”

This is extermination as the world watches.

Lovely to meet you Debra!

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Ireland spends less than any other country in the EU on social welfare as a % of GDP, and less than half the EU average. Inequality is growing.

And the Govnt wants to double defence spending to €3 bn a year.

Surrealing in the Years: At least 4,844 children homeless, and we ain't seen nothin' yet Despite a €4.5 billion budget surplus, the worst is somehow yet to come.

"Let’s review. On one hand, we have 4,844 children and over 10,000 adults accessing homelessness services. On the other hand, we have €4,500,000,000. Now, this is a puzzle. A quandary for the ages. I’m racking my brain here and I just— Can't we just take the money and—?"

This week's Surrealing:

toomajofficial "Evacuate Tehran" is nothing more than a populist slogan meant to later claim: "We didn't intend to kill Iranian civilians; they just refused to leave the war zone." But how are over 9 million people - without fuel, often without enough savings to relocate, and with no second home in another city - supposed to evacuate Tehran? If your intention is to kill the people of Iran, at least have the honesty not to hide the burden of that responsibility. Your war is not with the people of Iran. If you attack them, you are, in truth, killing hostages. And you know very well that such a crime will plant seeds of hatred that could deprive generations - both ours and yours — of the peace and calm we all long for. No child should become a victim of decisions made by politicians hiding behind the iron walls of their palaces.

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement.

Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

👏

I cannot emphasize this enough.

Reach out to Your SF TD's, MLA's, councillors.

They don't know about the NGS. They aren't clued in on the Cass report.

The gender conference is early July.

I've spoken to several and seen good results.

Don't complain about the result after the fact.

Live your life with the confidence of a mediocre man and you too could be a TD saying the British Army never shot at Irish civilians or an MEP quoting Swedish House Mafia to the president of the European Commission

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

This will be a fascinating conference and an important chance for learning about research and action to tackle health injustices from all over the world. It will be of interest to anyone who is passionate about the intersection of social justice and health and is open to all, not just psychologists.

There's still time to register for ISCHP 2025! Even if you can't make it to Galway, we promise an engaging online experience that will connect you with those at the conference venue and those attending online around the world.

Do not try to fucking tell me that this is not the Nazi's again

Biological sex is not a static reality. Scholars have spent decades pointing out how assuming a sex binary is not only wrong but also unethical as it erases the lives of those who are embodied differently. Courts should not give effect to “common sense” when such sense is unethical and unscientific.
