That harm to women and girls in general is not taken seriously, combined with multiple high-profile men continuing to get passes based on power, talent, or activism with other causes, creates a very worrying landscape for women. Tolerance is still way too high. It needs to start actually mattering.

Anti-fascist activists vastly outnumbered the handful of bigots that marched in Galway today. Kerry's Michelle Keane and Derry's (no party) Hermann Kelly along with David 'the chariot' O'Reilly attended, with John (I'll attend any bigotfest) Molly to round it all off. Things you love to see ✊

Proud of all the Galway City anti-fascist demonstrators countering the far-right today! Raging I couldn't be there but good to see the far-right heavily outnumbered.

boss yelling at me for messing up at work and i raise my shirt over my head to make myself appear bigger so he will leave

Wow, it's almost like all those protests weren't really about fuel... www.independent.ie/county/wexfo...

Fuel Support Scheme for farmers ‘under subscribed’ despite €87m budget and nationwide protests over costs

The deputy president of the Irish Farmers Association (IFA) says she does not know why the Fuel Income Support Scheme for farmers and agricultural contractors was significantly “under subscribed.”

Just another facet of genocide - force people into more complicated and dangerous birthing situations, without equipment, trained medical professionals, a sterile environment, incubators and resuscitation equipment...the list goes on and on.

Palestinians face hours-long waits at Israeli military checkpoints, forcing women to give birth outside hospitals.

Make no mistake, this is the same rhetoric seen across neoliberal governments in the world - they want to enact their policies and infrastructural goals, without ensuring/caring it follows the law and is of benefit for citizens at large Chambers is stating he is against people challenging the state

Gavin Elliott@sgelliott.net · 2w ago

Jack Chambers relies upon citizens (or people in the economy as he calls them) not understanding what a judicial review is. If the state has broken the law you may ask the court to hold them to account. That's what a JR is, and what Jack Chambers is against. The government following it's own laws.

<describes things the Right does> This is just like the Left.

Laura and I lived with her in-laws for 4 years, in a mobile home for 3 years, to save the money for the deposit for a house. We didn't go out for dinner. We didn't go to the cinema. And we certainly didn't attend destination weddings. Outrage piece or genuinely out of touch with reality?

Unfortunately our Bill to ban hare coursing has been voted down by FF, FG and SF. The annual cruel practice of capturing and terrorising thousands of hares will continue. The politicians are wildly out of touch with the public on this one. We'll be back and we will win a ban!

For such a populist party, it's bonkers Sinn Féin aren't getting behind a legislative move that a large majority of people want to see enacted. Surely a party concerned with national heritage would support the protection and biodiversity benefits of our native breeds?

The Journal@thejournal.ie · last mo.

Sinn Féin is to vote against a hare coursing ban on the grounds that it would have "unintended consequences". Mary Lou McDonald says the party is "not obessed" with the issue, and she believes it doesn't decide "whether you're on the right or the left". www.thejournal.ie/sinn-fein-ha...

Ireland’s all-time temperature record could be broken tomorrow

The record 33.3 degrees was recorded in Co Kilkenny in June 1887.

Forecast for Thursday showing a possibility that the temperature record in Ireland could be broken? Everything is most definitely fine...

Once again, Fianna Fáil can fuck off, far away into the distance. Middle-aged conservative men playing politics with women's lives. 🤮

there are no legitimate concerns about immigration

The houses of ethnic minorities in Belfast didn’t ’go on fire’ last night - as my radio has told me - they were set alight

Sometimes working in Dublin has its perks

Big thanks to the DUP, Reform, Tories etc for stirring this up all day. Thugs are now attacking people's homes in Belfast, wrecking hostels, checking cars at roadblocks for 'immigrants', burning vehicles and generally scaring the shit out of people. Hope you're all proud of yourselves. #Belfast

Anyone not labelling this as far-right agitation and violence is undermining what's going on here.

Police clearly outnumbered here and not in control of this situation. Stay at home if you can. #Belfast

"Deportations are not managing migration. What is managing migration is planning and thinking about how migrants will need access to housing or hospital, or education for their children" 👏👏👏

something I would genuinely love to hear an advocate of the three-day waiting period for abortions asked to explain is why it's three days as opposed to one day, two days, four days, or a week for that matter

We will continue to break these records as long as our global emissions continue to rise. It's concerning that this has happened as El Nino continues to gather momentum and looks likely to be an extraordinary event. Who knows what temperature records we could break by the end of the century.

I find it interesting the no-smoking and no-vaping signs outside the hospital and maternity outpatients, and how they are rightly policed, yet there are no measures in place to prevent cars idling, nor does there seem to be the same care or desire to prevent those.

I cannot for the life of understand why pay in RTE is dubbed a national scandal while man chocked to death outside Arnotts in broad daylight isn’t.

More and more weasel words from our Taoiseach. Aside from recognising the Palestinian state, what has Ireland done to punish Israel for their genocidal actions? Occupied Territories Bill remains held up, sanctions against Israel don't exist, and still Palestinians continue to die in their 1000s.
