People don't realise how malicious the 'reforms' proposed by Heather Humphreys to disability supports were. Very few people appreciate the work put in by disabled activists to resist those reforms or the lasting damage caused. No apology or even acknowledgement, HH is not a President for all #Áras25

Gentle reminder…the Special Criminal Court was opposed trenchantly and for compelling reasons by Mary Robinson before she became President; its continued existence has been criticised by the UN Human Rights Committee, UN Special Rapporteurs, the Irish Human Rights & …

Harris authorised Shannon stop for US war plane It was transporting soldiers or military cargo.

Simon Harris authorised a US military plane to refuel at Shannon Airport on Sunday on its way from a Department of War airbase to the Nevatim Israel Defense Forces base.

It was transporting soldiers or military cargo.

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe.

🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations)
🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved...

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.

Rest in peace, Miss Major.

We will carry the bricks forward.

In addition to being totally pathetic, he's also completely wrong.
EPA polls consistently show that the vast majority, across all ages, incomes , urban or rural, all want the government to take action.
So by polarising, he must mean that Micheal o Leary,Amazon, and Tirlan don't want it

Taoiseach says some climate projects will not be fulfilled because they risk polarising society Taoiseach Micheál Martin has rowed back on climate change commitments, saying Ireland may not be able fulfil all current initiatives due to the polarising effect it could have on society.

“I don’t think we can mitigate for climate change,” he said.

The fact that we are stuck with politically beige leaders like this is so demoralising.

WE ARE FACING A CRISIS THAT COULD DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. STEP UP, YOU FUCKERS. SHOW SOME FUCKING LEADERSHIP.

The Disability Federation of Ireland has said that while it welcomes the €619m increase in funding for disability services, the Budget overall represents a devastating setback for disabled people unable to work

More money for greyhound racing than domestic violence in this year's budget. AGAIN

Oof, good luck with finding something that works
Hope the meantime is as good as it can be

Don't even want to think about that fight let alone speak about it, but she should have to resign based on what I learned about that Green Paper from civil servants behind the scenes

They knew the paper was a mess and they pushed it anyway

They did damage to disabled people

Biased, but the Trans Data Rights ECHR analysis is a great piece

Amazing scenes at Dublin Airport as the first of the Irish participants on the Global Sumud Flotilla are due home! #FreePalestine #GazaGenocide 🇵🇸

I had a landlady who used to let herself in while we were at work and hence not home to catch her

We found out because my housemates boyfriend happened to be there when she did this since he was going from ours to his work

This is terf behavior - literally make this rancid answer the only thing people hear about her
Tell your co workers, your mammy, your friend who doesn't pay attention to politics

I'm not linking to the article but Heather Humphries thinks the Gender recognition act needs to be looked at, and trans women are not women. #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

The first flotilla’s Irish participants have just been released from Israeli prison; they’re on their way home now. Meanwhile, we on the second flotilla are nearing Gaza. Keep speaking up for Palestine. We’re sailing not only for aid but for self-determination & we won’t stop until Palestine is free

Honestly though, defrauding tenants during a housing crisis *should* be the kind of thing that ends political careers and it's maybe a bad sign that the unserious, unprepared guy with no experience is the first politician in years to acknowledge that

The Gist: Jim Bows Out Jim Gavin decided to drop a Sunday night bombshell. This is the Gist.

New Gist: Jim Bows Out

“For anyone who has ever had to deal with a landlord who took their cash this is the stuff of legend. You would let the monkey paw get you for it.

“Who needs a soul?“, Faust would have said as he traded for this outcome.”

Please please if there is a merciful god let the FF back bench riot and bring the whole house of cards down
It would be so funny

Oh to be a fly on the wall in Bertie Ahern’s house

Or Billy Kelleher’s

Once again, I have absolutely no idea what happens now

Breaking: Jim Gavin withdraws from Presidential Election.

Landlord Jim Gavin never refunded 6 months' rent to a former tenant who accidentally kept paying rent after he moved out. The tenancy was not registered with the RTB. Gavin really is the perfect Fianna Fáil candidate.

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

If this is how the rogue terror state treats a white, global icon, remember that there are also Black, Muslim and Arab people who have also been kidnapped by Israel. Think about the violence and humiliation being meted out to them!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Every time you use stupid ChatGPT, a thing that I once saw get a long multiplication sum wrong, it uses ten times as much electricity as searching the same thing on Google and the server cooling systems mean each use consumes half a litre of water.
