The EU Commission is wishing Happy Friendship Day to Israel on its social platforms.

Unsold/destroyed textiles create around 5.6 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions. 33.2 million tonnes of C02 have been released into our planet by EU’s closest allies, so far, during the ongoing genocide in Gaza alone. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #SpeirGorm

An estimated 4-9% of unsold textiles in Europe are destroyed before ever being worn. We’re putting an end to this wasteful practice. As of today, large companies will need to prioritise keeping products in use: by selling, donating, or preparing for reuse. Find out more: link.europa.eu/cdYmK9

94% That's how much water supply has been reduced in Gaza by Israel. Regardless, Israel is still lavished with benefits and special status in the EU. And the people running the social accounts post stuff like this.

🚰 97% of people in the EU can turn on a tap right now, mid-heatwave. And for over 30 years, we've been making sure what comes out of it is safe to drink. Find out how: link.europa.eu/kxqk74

Bluesky users: why are there so few voices of victims of Israel on this platform? On other platforms I see direct reports on the ground of what’s being done in Palestine, Lebanon and beyond. I sign in to Bluesky and it‘s a footnote by comparison.

Israel still enjoys an observer status, and other preferential treatment in the EU. @ec.europa.eu

We can't have business as usual as the Israeli regime commit atrocities in Palestine and Lebanon. The Ireland-Israel soccer game cannot go ahead. On the 10th of June, we are bringing a motion demanding the govt withdraw support for this game. Contact your TD now, and ask that they support it.

Next Wed at 12pm, we will co-host a webinar on human rights monitoring at protests with @illanwall.bsky.social @uniofgalwayichr.bsky.social & INCLO Civil Liberties Network. Hear about the legal observer role at protests and experiences of setting up legal observer networks in Ireland and Australia.

Not one Health Minister stayed for the debate last night on 0.0 alcohol advertising. The Government says public health matters, but dismissed practical proposals without engagement. People deserve better from politics and better from Government.

We have a moral responsibility to stamp out racist talk when we hear it from our families, friends, neighbors, colleagues. Racism is not other people's problem to bear, it is our problem to solve. We (white people) are the solution. #SpeirGorm

We stand in solidarity with Helen Ogbu in the face of online abuse Women candidates - especially minoritiy women - face significant difficulties in running for election We call on govt to take action against online hate, before the next election cycle. Otherwise, our democracy will pay the price

Irish Flotilla activist who chanted Free Palestine at Ben Gvir, Cat Graham, on Prime Time last night on Israel's abuse of the participants. Ben Gvir felt free to share the video them being assaulted because of the total impunity the apartheid state enjoys from Ireland and the international community

Can't be repeated often enough 👇👇👇👇

How is Malcolm Byrne FF TD allowed comment on violence against women & children and character references - when he assaulted a woman himself and paid no price. Shocking choice by @tonightvmtv.bsky.social. Also disappointing to have nobody on panel arguing against references in GBV trials.

I got tired of Substack platforming Nazis, white supremacists, and convicted rapists, so I made a browser extension. Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link and redirects it to `archive.is`. They never see your traffic. You still get to read the thing tho. jasoncosper.com/kill-yr-subs...

Please sign and share this EU citizens initiative — demanding the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s continued rights violations. The initiative has already reached the first threshold across member states. It now needs signatures ✍️ to reach the 1 million mark.

If you're an EU citizen, I urge you to sign this. It's not one of those useless change dot org signature collections. If they get enough signatures, the EU Parliament will required to publicly address it and give a formal response.

"The Irish people do not want a red carpet to be rolled out for an American president who is dismantling international law and institutions.”

Disappointed that I appreciate the words of the NYC mayor over the actions of the Irish Taoiseach today. It really is increasingly obvious that the government of Ireland do not speak for the people. #speirgorm #lánaféilepadraig

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

One day, the Irish Times stupidly published an indefensible friendly article on neo-Nazi terminology and it stared down the bifurbicating Trousers of History. The Opinion Editor responsible started the day unsure, wavering, and ended it full of blustering self-righteousness. And that was that.

Easy to forget, Fine Gael are in the EEP #SpéirGhorm

Daniele Saracino@dansaracino.bsky.social · 5mo ago

To little surprise, the EPP, championed by Weber, apparently has not only voted but actively strategised with the radical and far-right to push through asylum policies. They've been lying to the public to enable a coalition with the radical and far-right on migration matters.

Chilling. These people know that their ideas are so unpopular that people would never agree to them by consent, so they use algorithms.

whenever Cathal Crowe is in the news, I am reminded of two things (1) he is a conspiracy theorist who believes the (non-existent) crown of Brian Boru is hidden in a church in the Vatican whose wall he wants to smash open (2) he is the chair of the Committee on Education and Youth

Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe has expressed disappointment that the site of a new hospital facility in the midwest will be in Limerick, leaving people living in parts of Clare more than an hour away from emergency care

Empty vessels get attention when they make noise. So this is a good day to contact your local public reps and let them know that, contrary to what three weirdos say on the internet, you have no problem with drag queens - and add politely that you will have a problem with TDs pandering to bigotry

Statement on The Hague Group Meeting on Accountability and the Enforcement of Intl Law in Palestine. 4th Mar '26. Ireland attended this meeting. So, I'm assuming that the Occupied Territories Bill will be passed in full in the coming days. Because that's what they just agreed to. #SpéirGorm
