Let's not forget that we're back debating the immigration issue and free speech because the US Government invited a violent rapist to the White House and treated him as a diplomat. They wanted to sow division here and they succeeded. They're not our friends. #spéirgorm

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

On Friday, a whole mountain west of Glengarriff was burnt, with a wall of flames visible through the night for miles around. It's pure ecocide, layered on top of ecocide (sheep), and it just beggars belief that this is still going on in the year 2025.

There's an incredible number of new accounts doing replies like this right now - it is extremely imperative that you don't reply. Don't engage, don't reply, don't quote-post them - report if you can but at the very least, block.
