Yesterday’s racist march is the maga effect, they are learning. Now more than ever the good people of Ireland must be actively & vocally anti racist.
Jene Hinds@jenehinds.bsky.social · 2y agoWhile the fall of the fash at the polls is reassuring, we can be thankful they are fragmented and uncensored. I doubt they will make the same mistake twice.

Paying farmers to rewild is by far THE most important thing society could do to reverse nature loss. But here in Ireland, it wouldn't involve 'doing nothing'. As someone practising rewilding for almost 16 years, I can tell you it requires very hard work: removing invasives, and much more.
Sabine de Witte@sadewi.bsky.social · 2y agoIt’s what they do in Kenya to help prevent elephants from ruining crops while roaming around. The willingness is amazing because they earn the same money and don’t have to do anything.
Incredible that the government are still going with their attempt to undermine democratic norms. It's hard to explain beyond oppositional defiant disorder at this point. Take the L and move on and stop wasting everyone's time
NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

AirB&B is a scourge that contributes to the housing / homeless crisis’ and fascism.
Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
John Green@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social · 2y agoThe average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.
We need to make sure of this, in every country. No DEI = no dinaro!
It turns out that screaming "WE NEVER CARED ABOUT YOU" to a significant minority leads to less business. Who knew?
This film, about the lives of fishing communities in Gaza under occupation, is showing at the Armada Hotel in Spanish Point on 20 February. There will also be a video link to Gaza.
More distractions. While all these groups pit ordinary people against each other, those responsible with wealth and power remain untouchable. Fight the real enemy.
Ireland against Fascism@irlagainstfascism.bsky.social · 2y agoYeah, cause that's all we need now... 🙄 www.irishnews.com/news/norther...
Morning everyone, unfortunately we’ve had to make the call to postpone today’s street clean. Re-scheduling for 2 weeks time. #Drogheda
Deputy leader of the AfD Beatrix von Storch is the granddaughter of Hitler's Minister of Finance Lutz von Krosigk (pictured here on the left w/ Goebbels) and Chancellor of the Third Reich (May 1945). She has previously advocated the shooting of immigrants who do not have visas.
Joel S.@handle.invalid · 2y agoAfter spending yesterday visiting Dachau and saying he was "really moved" by his time there, today JD Vance went to Munich to say that German political parties need to break the firewall against the far-right, Holocaust-minimizing AfD and start working with it: www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...
Public libraries are amazing! Did you know you can borrow a book from any library in the country and return it to any other library? Did you know they have subscriptions to huge amounts of national and international media that you can access?
We can laugh at this US-centrism, but this very week an Irish senator asked the Cathaoirleach to ban paper straws by executive order... and in the all-too-recent past, Presidential runner-up Peter Casey said he would have "pardoned" Enoch Burke.
@nunyabznss.bsky.social · 2y agoHey other countries have public libraries so maybe don't generalize and assume they all operate the same. Not all public libraries are connected.
Trying to figure out if little one’s hamster is dead or in torpor before I bury him 😫 I did not know they can do this!
They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.
Today has always grated on me - the love bombing, the capitalism, the exploitation. When it’s really the day to day nitty gritty that truly defines friendship & partnership.
This guy and Brewdog are such fascist suck up, pay less than living wage clowns. Boycott them like Elon Musk.
