I shudder to think what will happen to our neutrality on the day the people opposing it put in the most minimal of effort to understand it.

It's amazing how media outlets owned by billionaires seem to always oppose taxing billionaires. What a funny coincidence..

If someone ever figures out how to signal disability visually without using a wheelchair the disabled people of the world will break out in song.

Considering how much our media follows British media and how much our major parties measure themselves by British politics, anyone with love for the people living in Ireland should be terrified by what's happening next door.

Imagine if we didn't have a fiscally irresponsible government paying 10x the market rate on bike sheds and hospitals. We could properly resource the Arts Council and be introducing our kids to so many more wonderful things.

I wish economists worried less about the possibility of inflation from spiralling wage growth (the cause of economic problems in the 70s) and more about the rocketing growth in inequality and hollowing out of the bottom end of the economy (the cause of the great depression) we're actually seeing.

The asterisks in my support for European unity gets bigger every day von der Leyen not only remains in power but isn't charged for her role in Israel's war crimes. Every day she remains free underlines the EU's lack of commitment to upholding basic human rights.

You know what I have such an appreciation for men who call out other men because my friend just told an Andrew Tate loving guy who bitches about women not caring enough about men’s mental health that what he really means is he wants attractive women to care about his mental health specifically.

Now with Israel's attack on Iran, the airports are shut down, and our three remaining 'Madleen' team members, Pascal Maurieras, Yanis Mhamdi, and Marco van Rennes may face an extra month, illegally detained in Israeli prison. Contact their government and demand they protect their citizens.

Even knowing how dangerous it might get once the March reaches Rafah I would live to be there for this truly historic movement. Solidarity to everyone marching.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Solidarity to everyone fighting back against injustice in LA. Just like during the Long Hot Summer, they will be smeared, propagandised against, and face terrible violence from the state. Wishing everyone safety and success in resisting the state's brutality.

And everyone who voted to suspend them loves the Haka when the All Blacks do it, when it is sanitised and controlled. The Haka is more than a performance, it is a living and beautiful part of Maori culture, and silencing it like this is shameful.

Europe needs to separate itself from the US culturally, economically, politically, and militarily. A good half of the things shown in this picture existed under Biden. The Democrats won't change things, the fever won't break, this is America.

Great cartoon in yesterday's Irish Examiner. Enough words from our government, we want sanctions on apartheid Israel now to stop its genocide of Palestinians. #SanctionsNow

Given his government's reticence to go beyond symbolic gestures with Gaza, I would say he wasn't the only member of FF/FG who was surprised to learn of our history of suffering under brutal occupation.

Deeply concerned, quite obviously displeased, and yet the Garda Commissioner has, for whatever reason, found himself unable to deny that the women were strip-searched. Leading with the accompanying bluster rather than the precise details is an editorial choice. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

I cannot overstate my contempt for the over-reliance on exams. As someone with ADHD my experience with exams is results of 35-75% while projects/assignments ranging from 70-100%. The form of assessment is the difference between failing and flourishing for people like me.

I'm starting to think the Reform vote is down to there being so little daylight between Labour, The Tories, and Reform, people are just going with the leader they think would be least awful to be stuck talking to in the pub.

Can't help worrying about a system where people have to call up Coimisiún na Meán and say "hi, I'm a pervert." Sure we all are, but I don't think there should be a list, and that's before even getting to the security of said list.

When you dehumanise others you give up your own humanity in turn. I cannot imagine a clearer example of this than celebrating the deaths of children. These people should know no peace.

It is more than a little disturbing how flagrantly this government has lied about the Occupied Territories Bill and the triple lock. Even more disturbing is how much they're let away with it.
