6 years is the max a President or Prime Minister should be in power

Crazy how right-wingers went from being against “SJW’s” or whatever to now openly supporting ethnic cleansing.

Al Jazeera: Latest on Gaza, Syria, civil strife in the Congo RTE: The weather in Co Kerry is awful BBC: Nigel Farage responds to Elon Musks tweets 😈😈

The manosphere is beginning to turn on Elon. This is the general argument Manosphere: “ban all immigrants” Elon: “but I need highly skilled workers for my companies” Manosphere: “hire Americans” Elon: “not skilled enough” Manosphere: “you’re racist against white people and Americans”

All I want for Christmas is for the road from Kerry Head to Tralee to be fixed, get the Healy-Raes on the phone there

Can someone tell all the young lads that destroying the woke will not improve their life in any meaningful way

Sorry chumps, right-wing populism is NOT “common sense” or “for the people”

Donegal accent gotta be the best one, genuinely

Lambs resist calls to close slaughterhouse

I am Elon Musk’s no 1 hater. Nobody even comes close to me in this regard. Nobody.

In the 249 days I've been tracking content about trans people in the papers, the Telegraph have published 286 articles.

Gonna start posting like a Facebook boomer, but left wing

yeah I'm sure he'll get right onto that after he finishes the robotaxis, landing on mars, full self driving cars, robot babysitters, twitter the bank, buying d&d, nationwide hyperloop, and raising his children

79 affordable homes in London by Morris and Company Really lovely facades and all apartments are dual aspect, accessed from a walkway in the courtyard. Let’s build more of this!

In the old days OAPs went to bingo halls and the legion. Today they’re online obsessing about trans kids. The internet was a mistake

The crossover between racism and transphobia is, shall we say, "a lot". Both claim to have "legitimate concerns", even where there are none. Both deal in dis and misinformation. Both have the view that some people are less deserving of rights than others. You can't remain neutral on that.

My hot take is that the Greens did well in government and didn’t deserve to lose as they did. They accomplished a lot in fairness to them, especially in regards to rural transport.

A far-right dogwhistle becomes actual government policy

This is where the UK is already heading, and if we let this poison take hold in Ireland it's where we'll be heading too.

"Sacrifices" sticker coming tomorrow.

One of the great lies told in the western world is that refugees and migrants want to invade and steal and replace. Syrians have been dehumanized in mass numbers as they fled on perilous journeys for survival to anywhere safe they could find.

I consider myself an expert on Yanis Varoufakis-Xi Jinping thought on worldly socialism for the new era

I have never once listened to an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience

I’m not just socialist; I’m dark, gothic socialist

The same people who go on with “we can’t take care of immigrants, we have to take care of our own first” also tend to be the same people who are against initiatives for travellers, welfare for the unemployed or free hot meals in schools

“The system is designed to make people feel small. “And I think that the basic thing of the Left is to empower people, to make them feel part of something - a bigger collectivity, a class, a movement they can be proud of.” My piece on the Belgian Workers Party tribunemag.co.uk/2024/12/goin...

I think a huge part of the western far rights success has been the constant daily rage stories which flood every form of media, whether it be the papers, the radio or online.

IMPORTANT: Paris has been implementing a 5-Year Pedestrian Plan: - 300 million € invested by 2026 - 100 new hectares of pedestrian space - 100 more “streets for kids” - Focus on 0 pedestrian deaths #VisionZero - Longer pedestrian cross times geared to seniors Leadership. Does your city have one?

Biden pardoning his son is honestly hilarious

If - as we've been told all year long by media pundits and politicians - there is a big crisis in public opinion over immigration and asylum, then why does it top the concerns of only six per cent of voters? Surely it's not to divert attention from the actual top three issues? #ge24

I’ve been trying to keep using it, but Twitter is truly gone, like literally everything there is irredeemable garbage now, it feels like the moment the election was over it completed the transformation into just another soulless empty content mill for brain rot videos and low effort right-wing slop

Exit poll 🇮🇪 FF - 19.5% FG - 21% SF - 21.1%
