I fucking hate the fact that, in the year 2026 in what the government tells us is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, some Irish children are still living in poverty. It's just wrong.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that Ryan Tubridy would be 'very welcome' to enter the world of politics, after the former Late Late Show host joked that every night he goes to bed "dreaming some day" he will reclaim his grandfather's seat in Galway West. www.thejournal.ie/ryan-tubridy...

I want to ask reporters what else exactly they want from Beth Upton. They wanted her booted out of female changing rooms, they got it. They wanted her on trial for misconduct, they got it, she was found totally blameless. They wanted her publicly named and shamed in the media, they got it…

Please email the UK Parliament's Standards Commissioner and report David Davis' breach of Parliamentary Standards, specifically Sections D & E of the Code, by endangering the lives of solicitors by referring to them as 'IRA lawyers'. standards@parliament.uk www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-an...

Orangeism is portrayed by Unionist politicians as being Unionist culture but the OO is only a small minority of the Unionist population. It is not representative of Unionists, nor should it be presumed to speak for Unionists just because it is massively over-represented in politics.

When Aboriginal people appeared in a 1950 film they were asked to invent dialogue. Now a spotlight is shining on the tale they told Source: The Guardian share.google/Fzv4nwdudmkt...

First they erased a ‘Protect the Dolls’ t-shirt from Strictly Come Dancing. Now they’ve erased Pride badges from University Challenge. The BBC are saying that our visibility as LGBTQ people is a political issue. Meanwhile they’ve commissioned a 2-part series on JK Rowling. Impartial? My arse!

I have been told by several mutuals that the US Democrats are pro-LGBTQ ppl. They’re not, as this & other current Dem candidates make clear*. Some 23% of 18-29y olds & 10.4% of 30-49y olds are LGBTQ ppl. Why would they bother voting for either party? Cis straight ppl might want to think about that.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

In January 1989 Douglas Hogg MP made his scandalous speech about ‘IRA’ lawyers. Weeks later the UDA, aided by State agencies, murdered Pat Finucane. Now Davis is playing the same dangerous game from the safety of the Commons. @maddenfinucane.bsky.social

Dónal Lunny has passed away. In terms of Irish music, he was the fulcrum. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. This is one of my favourite as Gaeilge tunes. Donal on vocals & bouzouki, featuring Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh & the late Danny Thompson. #DonalLunnyRIP youtu.be/tmfmLxsVlzk?...

DRCC is the one charity whose monthly DD I never miss. I've gone without paying my phone bill before missing my donation to DRCC. They are an incredible organisation who do such important work.
