Sinn Féin is leaving trans people behind again in a further shift to the right. We call on all parties to stand with the trans community during this difficult time.

Please more cisgender people do this. Read @jessothomson.co.uk's and @goodlawproject.bsky.social's articles on the impact of the supreme court ruling and demand primary legislation to urgently safeguard trans rights.

"contrary to what the Trump administration claims, climate anxiety isn’t caused by scientists working to understand and communicate the problem. It’s caused by government inaction on climate change, which has made kids feel like nothing will ever be done to stop it."

This new Supreme Court ruling does not protect women. It protects a 'barbie doll' image of what women should be. Let me explain: I was born female. I have female genitals. It says female on my Birth Certificate. I am one of the 'women' this ruling is meant to protect. 🧵

We have a newly elected FF TD in #GalwayWest (John Connolly) literally arguing that CO2 emissions from pet projects are too small to matter. This erroneous attitude is being replicated right around the country because of an egregious failure of political leadership at national level.

Irish libraries have had louts coming in, demanding staff remove certain books ‘to protect children’. The libraries have been ignoring the gobshites. Weirdly, these guys never hassle the Church to pay the compensation owed to women slaves and child abuse victims. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Stating the blindingly obvious, yet AOC seems to be almost the only US politician with the guts to stand up to the Orange criminal and his henchmen. How long before she is disappeared?

I'm so sorry for my siblings in Britain. My heart sinks. It's just not fair what's gone on this past decade. But, despite a world that hates us, we're still fucking here, and we always will be. They can't take our pride. 🏳️‍⚧️

This is true. Terrifyingly so. (Minor clarification: we are "doing" lots. Much is rhetorical/symbolic, though some has tangible real world effects. But ALL that "some" falls FAR short of effective or commensurate with what would be needed. So yes, we are doing "virtually nothing effective"...)

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 !

"This gives us limited control over its fundamental price, although the government can choose to lower the taxes." And can equally choose to raise taxes (i.e. pollution levies). Given the damage these fuels do, allowing (never mind causing) prices to fall would be crazy, so ... welcome to crazy!

QED on the coordinated campaign to attack climate action. I remember Richard Black and Leo stating on X some years ago, at New Year, that climate denial was at a low. That was prior to a surge in media attacks, that have ramped up further with Musk and the orange.

"To adapt to climate change, we need TO ELIMINATE EMISSIONS MUCH MUCH FASTER!" [The single most concerning uncertainty for adaptation planning is surely not model imperfection, but what emissions pathway will be chosen by those of us with agency?]

I gotta say, “women are going to space” sounds a lot nicer than “the ultra rich are taking hyper-polluting joyrides to space while the planet descends into climate chaos”

🚨Very bad news! Annual global CO₂ increase of 3.75 ppm! @climate.noaa.gov had to extend its y-axis by 1 ppm for the first time. More and more of the CO₂ we emit stays in the atmosphere (Airborne fraction). Likely because the Land Sink (biosphere) is decreasing, increasing the Atmospheric Sink
