Cowering in front of a bully never works. Taoiseach should respectfully but firmly make clear 🇮🇪 & 🇪🇺 full support for 🇺🇦 and how we will never accept Russian aggression being rewarded. He should also speak up for equality & human rights. #rteupfront #Trump

Just saw this on my way back home from the doctor. For those we don’t know this spot, it’s one of Berlin’s memorials to the LGBTQ+ victims of the Nazis. He was carrying a rainbow flag that read: “Love is love”. ❤️‍🩹

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

As if it’s up to America to decide the fate of democratic Ukraine by conducting negotiations with Russia without Ukraine. Yet another betrayal of democracy by this pro-Putin Trump regime.

For the past 6 years, the US has often served as an omen for Brazil, with events unfolding there echoing in Brazil 2 years later. But that pattern broke after Biden took office and Lula was elected. While the US plunged deeper into extremism and the far right, Brazil finally decided to confront it.+

Did you know online content moderation tools often fail to detect online hate? A FRA study shows that abuse, harassment & incitement to violence easily slip through. On #SaferInternetDay, we call for a safer inclusive online space for all. Together for a better internet.

As #Seanad25 begins to take shape, I’m thinking of our longest serving Senator who served with such distinction between 1987-2024. David Norris is the embodiment of what the Seanad should be and used it to great effect. A shining legacy. 🏳️‍🌈 #Seanad #Seanad2025

BREAKING: LGBTQ+ couples in Thailand register their marriages on the first day of the law giving them equal status. The enactment of the Marriage Equality Act makes Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia and the third place in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, after Taiwan and Nepal.

President Michael D Higgins has said that to say the Irish people are anti-Semitic is a "deep slander" and it is a very serious business to do so simply because people disagree with the actions of the Israeli Prime Minister.

Beware ‘backwoods’ Independents who want to turn the clock back. Wise words from Ray Kavanagh. Most of us believe in the kind of 🇮🇪 epitomised by the likes of the Marriage & Repeal referendums. We can do without the 1980’s tribute acts. #rtept #GE24

We are living in very uncertain times globally and the next Govt must be a serious one. What we certainly don’t need is the excessive parochialism of quite a number of Inds focussed solely on the parish pump. Inds who under-performed at the polls btw. #RTEUpfront #GE24
