Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.
This women's group wanted to raise £1,000 to help the victims of last night's attacks in Belfast. It's already at £56,000. chuffed.org/project/1854...
Support people and groups impacted by racist attacks
We are raising funds to support people who have been attacked, displaced and traumatised in racist attacks in Belfast.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.
No matter where you live (Ireland, UK, US, Canada, Australia, anywhere) racism will never go away of it's own accord. It's a cultural heirloom passed down through the decades. It's not other people's problem to suffer, it's our (white people's) problem and moral obligation to STAMP OUT. #SpeirGorm
I'm so angry at the state of the world. The disgusting likes of Musk, Farrage & Trump sowing hate division - they fan the flames but ALWAYS escape the fire. We need to change that We need solidarity more than ever and those sowing hate & feeding culture wars need a RECKONING #speirgorm #belfast
Just finished #TipToe - from start to finish it was absolutely brilliant. Such an incredibly important watch for the times we are in. The canaries don't shriek for long. It is time we care for one another & stomp out hate
One of the biggest things our 21st-century democracies have to address is lobbying, and how easily they have (not can be - have) been bought lock, stock and barrel by vested interests. From housing and health to the impendjng climate catastrophe, nothing will change until that changes.
The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ after 17 months of legal battles and has debuted its new logo. It will be turned into a parody of itself, with the support of the Sandy Hook families.
Bull f*cking shit Only thing Ireland is full of is empty homes We have over 160,000 vacant homes & around 20,000 derelict homes State sponsored vandalism & violence #DerelictIreland

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question: When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
‘Online abuse of politicians is a profitable business-Monetisation and algorithmic amplification has turned peddling disinformation, hate speech, and harassment into a for-profit industry’.The far right Irish blue ‘thicks’ who went after Eileen cash in on hate. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...
Online abuse of politicians is a profitable business
Senator Eileen Flynn's comments on far-right use of the tricolour have made her a lightning rod for online abuse — because viral hatred is highly profitable

Imagine being this disconnected from the cost of living that the average young person is enduring right now. Build affordable homes. Introduce rent caps, ban evictions, cap fuel prices, introduce a living wage. Nope. A pyramid scheme. Their mates in finance-land must be frothing at the mouth.

Saw this last week at the AXIS in Ballymun - it was brilliant. Heartfelt, clever & funny. It was in the Fringe last year but keep an eye out for it around the city If you missed it!
The slow but slippery erosion of our #neutrality, one chink at a time. The people of #Ireland voted 2x for neutrality and the Triple Lock. This Government is disrespecting and circumventing the People of Ireland. Call a #referendum now #triplelock #speirgorm @thejournal.ie

Mike Finnerty@mikecjf.bsky.social · 5mo agoProtest outside the Dáil at the planned SNA cuts. Reps from SF/SD/Green/PBP/LAB and independents are speaking, alongside parents, union reps. Very potent campaign forming, this cuts across party, class and society. #Speirgorm
Focus & Anger should be at the BBC which CHOSE not to edit/beep out the offensive slur but instead CENSORED a call to end a genocide. #BAFTA
🍺Donald Clarke 🎥@donaldclarke.bsky.social · 5mo agoI can only assume people like this don’t *want* to understand how Tourette’s functions. The information is out there. But I suppose it feels good to be so morally superior and to know so much more than all experts on the condition.
So, Roisin Murphy makes the statement that 'no one used the term "queer" unless it was to hurt someone who was gay'. I'm unable to ignore this. The following isn't about making personal comments about Roisin and it's not about the merits of the word, it's about challenging a lie.
