I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.
When it comes to your children’s health, listen to doctors. Not a president who once told Americans to inject bleach. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization recommendations have not changed.

As a Catholic the smashing up of a statue is probably the least heinous thing that has happened in the Middle East!! Encourage everyone to have a read of below. If you are Christian take back the question 'What would Jesus do?' from far right hypocrites.

Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU. Takes seconds to vote and it's going hilariously well... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
A classy spiral kick exit from Jack Crowley last weekend. Shapes to kick to his right, spots space deep on left, spirals there, and Kinghorn can't recover across. Crowley had a cracking game at out-half for Ireland.
NEW: Trump live fact-checked by Irish PM 👏 TRUMP: “STARMER IS NO CHURCHILL” MARTIN: “MANY IRISH PEOPLE HATE CHURCHILL” TRUMP: “BAD THINGS ARE HAPPENING TO EUROPE” MARTIN: “EUROPE IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE” TRUMP: “EUROPE DOESNT LOOK LIKE EUROPE ANY MORE” MARTIN: “IMMIGRATION IS A GOOD THING”
An attack on Womens Health. Science ignored.
Rep. Judy Chu@chu.house.gov · 5mo agoLet's be clear: banning mifepristone = a national abortion ban. Mifepristone has been safe, effective and FDA-approved for 20 years. Extremists won’t stop until abortion is banned everywhere. I'll keep fighting to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide.
Thanks to Jack McCarron and the team on RTÉ Prime Time for reporting on this small example of one of the biggest questions of our time. Who controls our streets and public spaces? Local authorities — or tech authorities far away and unanswerable (it seems) to anyone.
Cork hill highlights the limits of democracy in the digital age
Everyday frictions over traffic, housing and local planning are exposing a growing tension across Ireland and Europe between democratic decision-making and the power of global technology companies.

Off today and in the Big Smoke for a break but I wanted to point you in the direction of this beautiful ode to Cork city by Cónal Creedon www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...
Future Cork: Our city stretches out a hand of friendship to all — Cónal Creedon
Cork has seen war and peace, boom and bust, and on more than one occasion the flat of the city has risen Phoenix-like from the ashes of total annihilation, writes Cónal Creedon

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..." Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis. Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫 1/
Bruce Springsteen@brucespringsteen.net · 7mo agoI wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

ICE agents threaten car with Sky News correspondent inside
Martha Kelner experiences a tense interaction with federal officers as a community of activists react to increased sightings of ICE agents operating in Minneapolis.

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
A Disturbing Pattern Has Emerged In Trump's Second Term — And It's Playing Out With Renee Good
“How else do you justify shooting a stay-at-home mom with stuffed animals in her car?” the attorney for one woman who survived a federal agent’s gunfire told HuffPost.
