I've just signed this petition calling on the council to trial a Strand Road cycle path for 12 months. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/tr... @uplift-ireland.bsky.social

I won't use disabled toilets because I'm not disabled and disabled people need them Also trans people are so dangerous that they can't be around cis people... unless those cis people are disabled then it's fine? It's pretty clear they just see both trans and disabled people as a class of non human

Finally, the correct tariff formula (from Private Eye)

We did mention we had news? We've just acquired all of the Sheanadh Gharráin woods east of the Bhoth Loiscthe River in the Connemara Gaeltacht. 35 acres of rainforest awesomeness are now protected, plus 47 acres of space for them to stretch into !

For anyone reading only this post and not the article, this is actually about a regime attempting to "dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue" and using the dog-whistle of "anti-Semitism" as a coercive tool.

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

Yeah! Great news, if highlighting crazy process

So if you've been sitting back watching Americans constantly phoning and emailing their representatives to stop the daily Trumping, this might be a good time for you to contact your local TDs and let them know you'd prefer we didn't import that nonsense here. www.thejournal.ie/revocation-o...

Two children have been killed on Irish roads in the last few days by industrial vehicles Ula was six Michael was fourteen This is a National scandal and it’s time for actual infrastructure that’s safe for kids

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

At a time of global financial uncertainty, a sound investment with guaranteed positive return is buying a good book from an independent bookshop.

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

People LOVED their factory jobs back in the 60s / 70s. That's why there were so many songs about how they wanted to stay on the production line for all time and never, ever leave their hometown.

For today's Sunday Sermon, let's talk about...WHATABOUTISM!

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

The unpredictability of America for the foreseeable future is more serious than the tariffs themselves. Companies can’t make long-term decisions if policy is made and changed on a whim. Much of the rest of the world will respond by creating U.S.-free supply chains.

The Euro has risen more than 2% and is on course for its biggest daily increase in ten years.

So if I’m reading this correctly, USTR used the “trade deficit divided by imports” formula. And then they added two variables which, multiplied together, equal 1 and therefore do not change the result. Just to make things look a bit more scientific? ustr.gov/issue-areas/...

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

Just as important as the general increase in tariffs is the complete abandonment of the principle of non-discrimination, which the US had traditionally championed. This will further increase international tensions at a time when the US is ripping up the post-1945 security architecture.

The politics and economics of victimhood, on the biggest possible stage, from one of the most successful countries ever to exist. Still just remarkable (if now sadly predictable)

To sum up then the argument is that if you want to be a criminal and get away with it you should become a far right politician because it would be dangerous to convict you. Have I got that right?

Yet another example of how we shouldn't understand the implications world events. The verdict is important not because of who 'wins' and 'loses' politically but because robust ethical laws and standards in politics matter.

♻️🔋 Huge congratulations to UCD Mechanical Engineering students Ruairí Collins, Eoin Duffy and Stephen Murphy on winning the second annual CleanerGrid Competition for their proposal showing how pumped hydro energy storage could help with managing wind and solar energy variability.

The French are testing a new innovation in criminal justice called laws that apply to everyone

As politicians in Ireland continue to out squabble the other over housing targets. A reminder, there are over 180k derelict properties in the state. Most in towns and cities. The housing crisis is a product of policy, in fact there's no housing crisis, there's a governance crisis.
