@heardislandgov.bsky.social fights back with non-tariff measures

For a minute there I almost thought Donald Trump had posted that he’s going to put tariffs on illegally smuggled Fentanyl… Oh wait, he did I’m surprised he can piss and breathe at the same time… It’s like all the stupid gathered together, painted orange, and given the nuclear codes Incredible

Another mad element of that press conference is that Trump & Vance were ordering Zelensky to thank them personally for aid that Joe Biden had provided. All while insulting Biden & ignoring Zelensky’s frequent previous expressions of gratitude.

Always wondered how the Star Wars Emperor could start with a battle-hardened army and end up with an "entire legion of his best troops" being beaten to death by teddybears with sticks. Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.

I think Fiona would really appreciate some feedback on this. It needs more traction, you all know how to make that happen 😉

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

If you fight on the far right’s terrain, you will lose. Parroting their anti-immigration rhetoric only legitimises them, & people will always choose the original over the copy. Defend human rights, stand by our principles & fight for a socialist vision — that’s how we will win!

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

This is a big increase in the weekend capacity of the Luas which is always packed on weekends especially the Red line. Some increase in rush hour capacity too. More drivers being hired thanks to the increase in public transport funding. 🙏 dublininquirer.com/2025/01/15/p...

Good news for nature! 😍 RSPB Wallasea Island is expanding by 100 hectares: creating a freshwater lagoon and wild grasslands for Lapwings, Redshanks, Avocets, and more! This huge boost for local wildlife will also support migratory birds on a global scale...👇

After the news that the NI Executive will ban puberty blockers 'indefinitely', Trans Pride NI are organising a silent protest at Stormont on Thursday 12 December at 5pm. Please share widely as we need to get as many people there as possible. Thanks

Anyone else been listening to #FileOn4 & absolutely fuming at the the scandal of university funding? Industrial scale exploitation of foreign students, used as cash cows with no regard for their plausible ability to complete the courses. International recruitment agencies raking in the profits...
