β€œThe power of the working class is the hope of the nation”” - Van Jones

The fact that the DUP didn’t sign this petition to take this matter to the Executive could speak volumes about a new approach towards the Irish language. Maybe they’ve finally learnt that blind opposition does not work. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politic...

If you live in or around Enniskillen & want to see a return of emergency general surgery services to South West Acute Hospital then get along to this public meeting if you can. fermanaghherald.com/2025/04/comm...

Before becoming Prime Minister, Starmer said he would seek the permission of the House of Commons before taking Britain to war. Just like everything else he said, that was a total lie. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

This Earth Day we are asking our followers to act local. We know the climate crisis is a worldwide problem but if we all act local, as well as think bigger, we can help achieve a better climate for future generations. Some issues we want people to concentrate on locally are: 🧡 [1/4]

Shocking that in 2025 that this is still happening. Stormont must act to provide clear legislation to ensure these kind of circumstances are dealt with & ended. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you’re trans, non-binary or questioning, and you’ve been concerned about what has happened this week - just look at the support that showed up for you yesterday in London at short notice. βœŠπŸ»πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ #TransRightsAreHumanRights πŸ“· @simonlamrock.bsky.social

Please use this tool from The Rainbow Project to email your local MLAs to demand they stand up for trans rights in the wake of this weeks horrific U.K. Supreme Court decision www.rainbow-project.org/transrights/...

A couple of unremarkable statements, but until both have happened we must continue to repeat them - legalise cannabis & open safe injection rooms for those in need. Drug law reform can’t happen soon enough. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politic...

We stand with trans people. We stand with women. Against the very forces who want to pit us all against each other.

Most right minded people will find it hard to believe that Tierney gave a character reference without knowing why that man was charged, especially considering the fact another woman spoke out on his support for a different man accused of rape. πŸ€” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some things to note after today’s judgement: β–ͺ️The judgement was arrived at today after lobbying by anti-trans groups. No LGBTQ+ groups or voices were cited in judgement. 🧡 [1/4]

We need to get better at celebrating our wins
