Thank goodness for science and medicine. I developed the worst chest infection I’ve had in years, stupidly tried to home remedy it, it got worse - went to the Doc, got the drugs and three days later I can breathe & feel so much better. Take the drugs, the vaccines, the science works!

Are TERFs really alright? Seems their obsessed panic over trans women is leading them down the rabbit hole to handmaiden hood in a resurgent,ethno-Christian patriarchy. Chauvinism is more acceptable than trans inclusion-who’d a thunk it?(Actually it was obvious this was a path they could/would take)

It is the year 2094. The Earth is a scorched wasteland. There is no law and order any more. Feral children roam the streets, selling their parents for cigarettes. Starving people frantically scratch the earth for roots and leaves. Greyhound racing gets the usual increase in funding

Imagine President Roosevelt saying in 1940 that Britain was finished, quoting made up numbers for US aid and then suggesting Churchill was stealing vast sums from the Lend Lease programme. Imagine him using lines - literally - written by Joseph Goebbels. This is the equivalent.

1/6 Nigel Biggar, a Conservative Lord, has been a key figure promoting right wing Christian nationalism in the UK. He & allies are now proselytising in Canada. Historical revisionism lies at the heart of their project. Here’s what to look out for: www.catholicregister.org/item/1730-al...

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

I’m going to translate this for those who don’t speak Fascist. This means abortion bans or at the very least, restrictions. Up to and including contraception. It also means hostility towards Muslims, LGBT people & other marginalised groups. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The difference in Government reaction to stuff like the Arts Council or RTE fiascos - "completely outrageous!" - compared to their reaction to the Children's Hospital debacle - "we must spend whatever it take to finish the job" - shows the right people are making money from the Children's Hospital.

The Irish government is reportedly preparing to buy US LNG from fracked gas, by allowing the construction of a commercial import terminal, in exchange for economic concessions from Trump. We need to cut dependence on fossil fuels as quickly as possible - not lock it in for decades.

Finger crossed there’s no invite- no bending the knee, with the auld bowl of shamrock in hand, to that crazed racist, virulent transphobe & raging misogynist in the White House … nor should he give one to Trump!
