Far right protesters can walk into libraries to threaten people with a police escort and block roads asking brown skinned people for ID while the Gardai look on. The same Gardai will happily put a dozen leftie students in A+E for a week during an eviction protest. I hope this helps your analysis
Opinion: Ireland’s left has failed to penalise government for decades of inaction but the right has

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.

@kajakallas.bsky.social disgraceful to help Israel in a warcrime. This is not acceptable use of EU money. Please support the UN agencies for aid in Gaza and not whatever Israel dictates here. www.thejournal.ie/meps-slam-eu...

I just don't have the spoons to ring my TDs but I've emailed all five of my TDs as well as emailing the Taoiseach & Tánaiste and big Jim himself to highlight that Jim O'Callaghan is simply unsuitable to hold the brief of Justice Minister and should not be blocking ads for safeguarding children...
I’ve slept on it now and when I woke up, I was still still mad about it. This morning, I’m going to ring the constituent office of my local FF TD and tell him just how mad it made me. Then I’m going to call the constituency office of my local SF TD, and ask if Matt Carthy’s support is their view.

No, I’m still mad about this consent business. I don’t think it is enough just to say it.

This report contains plenty of quotes to help your local TDs know that (a) pandering to bots costs real life votes and: (b) will make you just so mad a second time if you read it. www.rte.ie/news/2026/10...

Hello. My name is Elaine; I’m a transgender girl from Ukraine who has been living in Slovakia with my parents for two months now.

It's also very frustrating to constantly have my opposition to AI be taken as an opposition to abstraction, or to automation, and a desire to do every little thing by hand. But it's the opposite. For a whole bunch of reasons, AI anti-abstracts. It adversarially creates oceans of duplication to […]
I don't feel safe in this country, and realizing that made me profoundly sad. Today before entering a bar I took off my earrings, because I was low-key expecting some kind of a trouble. And when eating I realized, that I did the exact same thing yesterday... #Poland #motherland #visiting #emi[...]

I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here on Bluesky, but register to vote for the Seanad if you haven't already. I'm a UL grad and I'll be able to vote next time for the first time. Just punch in your details, it takes less time than boiling the kettle and pouring a cup www.seanadvoter.ie

From the Expanse series, I treat it as a guiding principle in my life for some years now 'Easy to make rules,” Emma said. “Easy to make systems with a perfect logic and rigor. All you need to do is leave out the mercy, yeah? Then when you put people into it and they get chewed to nothing, it’s[...]
I genuinely don't know? But recently I am lowkey obsessed with Charleine Harris' Skokie Stackhouse? While the True Blood series made her a moron, in the books she's an uneducated (formally) but clever, ambitious and bright young woman with incredible levels of integrity, and that difference is [...]

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
