Important letter which further shows up the British government's disgraceful proscription of Palestine Action. Solidarity with the Palestinian people is not a crime, it is the only right path, especially in the time of apartheid Israel's genocide. #FreePalestine

PA activists face ‘terror’ charges over Trump golf resort protest The charges stem from seven Palestine Action activists paint-spraying the Scottish resort to protest against the US president’s stance on Gaza. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Absolute nightmare stuff.

In 1860, a local landowner tried to interfere with public access to a ruined church & graveyard on his land in Killone, Co Clare. Letters to the paper give us a sense of the local reaction - ‘for he who wars with the handful of dust at his feet is no friend to the living’ (Munster News, 14 Jan)

"To awake from the absurd grip of American exceptionalism, we’ll need to abandon the conceits that have sustained that mythos for 250 years and replace them with a radical universalism linking our fate to that of the entire world. jacobin.com/2026/07/amer... " - Jacobin Magazine

Genuinely don’t understand why we haven’t introduced something like this here. We are so vulnerable to energy shocks.

Born into poverty during peak Jim Crow, Ray Charles stood against the system that sought to keep him destitute. He famously fought against segregation until the state that banned him apologized & made his song their state anthem. Brother Ray loved America & made her better as a result.

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

David has outdone himself here, I think. not sure how he'd ever top this as the most catastrophically stupid thing he's ever said

The U.S. is starting talks on a new military aid deal for Israel as support for the country hits an all-time low. Israel’s supporters are feeling the pressure and pushing for cosmetic changes, but don’t fall for it. We need a full arms embargo now. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/the-...

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

Great letter in yesterday's Irish Times. There must be full and immediate sanctions on apartheid Israel for its genocidal crimes against Palestinians and its repeated kidnapping of humanitarian activists. #SanctionsNow

#FreePalestine “You were rightly outraged by how Ben-Gvir treated your nationals. Now consider how he treats ours.”⁠ ⁠ Riyad Mansour, the Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, has condemned the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention. t.me/European_dis...

🔥 Top quality from RTÉ! After years of campaigning, it won't take part in Eurovision due to apartheid Israel being in. On the night, RTÉ2 will show the Father Ted Eurovision episode A Song for Europe.This might give you a chuckle and a certain, once funny, writer an aneurysm.... #BoycottEurovision

"I see nothing in the data" was a phrase that was used by some politicians. This interesting article shows how one reason that politicians may not seeing anything in the data is due to governments (in this case the US government) not collecting it anymore. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Next week the EBU will, again, provide Israel a platform to artwash its apartheid and genocide against Palestinians on the Eurovision stage. Thankfully, due to a years long campaign, RTÉ is not participating or showing the contest. We continue to work with our comrades in all participating countries

248 US military flights over Ireland went unreported due to ‘administrative error’ Well that is some admin error - get the US military out of Shannon #USoutofShannon www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

This is a genuinely mindblowing combination. 1) Deliberately false information, 2) promoted in schools, 3) using public money, 4) in the service of private profits, 5) at the cost of our collapsing ecosystem.

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

The self-appointed "leaders" of the Fuel Protests are truly scum of the Earth. Why our media choose to interview the likes of Duffy here re the protests is beyond me. Do they really think he cares one iota about anyone but his own self?

‘Fuel protest leader James Geoghegan has animal cruelty convictions and Revenue judgments’. Not who you want representing you - especially the animal cruelty www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/20...

Sorry, what now? You want the carbon tax abolished and VAT and excise cut, but it transpires that you don’t actually pay your taxes. Right so.

Our government is enabling apartheid Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank and won't even pass the Occupied Territories Bill #FreePalestine A strategy ‘to make life intolerable’: Israeli settlers are driving Christians out of West Bank www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

And STILL the world's leaders believe the heinous genocidal maniacs

ISRAHELL IS NOW THE FIRST STATE SINCE NAZI GERMANY TO HAVE A DEATH PENALTY FOR ONE RACE BUT NOT ANOTHER DO YOU FECKING SEE IT YET ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

It is absolutely shameful that the Irish, or any other, government still continues to trade, not just with goods and services from the Occupied Territories, but with the state of Israel itself. Supremacy is never the solution. Now more than ever, this is an apartheid regime, and it must end.

Everyone worries about a few foreigners blocked in Dubai. But nobody talks about the millions of Indian, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan and African workers essential to the city’s economy, living in conditions close to modern slavery. Now many are starving after salary cuts. We are complicit.

Harper Lee describing activism and the fight for humanity perfectly

Sick and twisted zionists dictating how history is told worldwide now 🤬 Another museum to put on your boycott list! www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/brit...

Important letter in today's Irish Times, it's unconscionable that we eoikf buy anything from apartheid Israel, not to mind drones. #BDS

PRESIDENT OF CUBA 🇨🇺: “An act of state terrorism… the object of imperialist desire is Venezuelan oil… down with imperialism!” PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA 🇨🇴: “To keep the Epstein list from coming out (Trump) kills fishermen… this invasion is about oil, driven by greed & violence.”

The US has a history of military intervention in South America.

Here’s the 60 Minutes segment on Venezuela that the new coward in chief of CBS News, Bari Weiss, didn’t want Americans to see. O Canada, well played.

A message to Vince Gasparro:

People compare the war in Ukraine and Gaza. Russia began a war of aggression. But criticizing Russia for breaking international law while the world lets the Israeli army ignore it every day creates a contradiction that weakens our democracies and how people see the world. ⚖️🌍

They even laughed about it
