I'd like to remind Trump administration that after Iran war started, Ukraine deployed experts and technology to the Middle East to help Gulf states defend themselves against Iranian drones and protect US bases in the region, while Russia provided targeting information to Iran.

Lest we forget:

Two new posts now available on ThinkOrSwim.ie for some #climate reading, featuring recent articles in Irish Times and Irish Examiner. We need a Dept. of National Food Security – now www.thinkorswim.ie/we-need-a-de... Stumbling ever deeper into the Pyrocene www.thinkorswim.ie/stumbling-ev...

‘Renewables offer humanity an unlikely exit ramp off our current highway to #climate hell – if only our politicians & business leaders had the wit & mettle to grasp this slenderest of lifelines’ My take in Irish Examiner today. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

The World Cup without UEFA means no Mbappe, no Bellingham, no Haaland, no Olise, no Yamal It means no England, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium It means no Zidane, Tuchel, Klopp The World Cup this year without Europe would have just been Argentina & Egypt in the final 8 UEFA must hold firm

As Slievenamon burns, it's mad to see how many people leave snarky comments about Roz Purcell on Insta etc. Her family home is on the mountain, she's just asking people to stop blocking access for fire fighters, and to not fly drones as helicopters drop water. Whole new level of begrudgery

@kaitegethoff.bsky.social Please keep up the fantastic work. 👏👏👏

Kyiv tonight after russian attack ‼️

Rapid global climate change is here... The mysterious "cold blob" in the North Atlantic is caused by a weakening AMOC ocean current, a new study confirms. Deep-water data proves this cooling isn't an atmospheric fluke, signaling a shift toward a major climate tipping point.

We often label fossil fuel firms as #climate criminals (and they are) but spare a thought for the bankers without whose mega-funding this would not be possible. They are every bit as criminally culpable. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What on Earth?! This video is from Greenpeace. 💔

How it felt being in Kyiv last night

The legend @cmatbaby.bsky.social said a lot more in her acceptance speech than what RTÉ are reporting. (Video posted by Lisa McLoughlin on Instagram - www.instagram.com/reel/DYnTKR3...) #Speirgorm

Could you squirm any harder?

A Super El Niño is coming. The last time ocean temperatures looked like this, millions died. Reshare. Earthlyeducation

The sooner Ireland and the EU end all economic & political relations with this terrorist state, the better. Kudos to Haaretz, a rare voice of truth, for reporting on Gestapo-style Israeli policing.

Thanks for the concern, but MAGA is a joke. No worries.

@thinkorswim.bsky.social Fantastic John on Newstalk. Concise and simple.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

"could pass a significant tipping point by mid-century" Which is less than 25 years away. And given the lag in effects, we have then, what? 15 years to make changes or suffer the consequences of inaction? johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years. Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.

Ireland, 2026. These two photos were taken yesterday at the same location - Ballyogan recycling centre- within 20 metres of one another.

The degree of corruption in the current US administration is breathtaking.

Nooses. Death threats. Some of these “protesters” like the ones who wrote this sign are fascists itching for violence.

Two‑year‑old Anya and her mother Dasha 💔 🕯were killed yesterday in Odesa when russians struck a residential building with a drone. Anya’s father is in intensive care. On June 23, little Anya would have turned three.

Don't look away ‼️ This is Odesa today, facing russian terror yet again today. At least three people were killed in the attack, and at least fifteen others were injured when russia brought their home crashing down on them in the middle of the night!

Kharkiv police released bodycam footage showing the first minutes after the Russian attack on our city yesterday. Watch it! This horror, this nightmare, has been our daily reality for 1501 days. Every single day. When will it end?
