I can actually avoid this image fairly easily. As an Irish-speaker it has actually never once occurred to me to think of myself as a kept animal

The German state is persecuting the Ulm 5 for taking direct action against the genocide of Palestinians. Irish citizen Daniel Tatlow is one of them, their family put together this petition demanding the Irish government send independent monitors to the trial. Please sign my.uplift.ie/petitions/su...
Support Ireland’s monitoring of Germany’s “show trial” against the Ulm 5!
Who’s really on trial here: The Ulm 5 - or German justice? Family and loved ones of the Ulm 5 ask you to bring attention to this trial. Please sign the petition! If you care about...

The Irish state is doing all it can to ensure vacant buildings go unused in a housing crisis. I wrote for the LRB about the Revolutionary Housing League getting evicted www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ju...

Protest tomorrow 5.30pm at Teeling’s, The Liberties, Dublin! Bígí linn a chairde Gael and anyone who opposes capitalist destruction of our communities

Today at the Anne Devlin Community centre in the Liberties! Take back empty buildings ⁊ labhraigí Gaeilge
Really positive mood today at the Anne Devlin Community Centre. The owner has been trying to send in guards and private security to stop a place that’s been abandoned for 16 years from being used for the Liberties local community. Don’t let him do it quietly www.independent.ie/county/dubli...
Inside Ardee House: ‘We are ensuring all vacant buildings are returned to their rightful owners: the people of Dublin’
Activists will hold public meeting this weekend to work on turning the occupied pub in The Liberties into a cafe

This is a lie. I was in there today helping out a little and it’s structurally fine. Be ready to defend this space when the time comes, bring any cutlery books cleaning supplies etc you have lying around in the meantime
Huge crowd for Yves Sakila today. Racism is a necessary condition for what’s happening in Palestine, and to properly oppose this racism we must also address it within our own borders. Everyone who’s been vocal on Palestine needs to speak up for #JusticeForYves
I can imagine selling my soul for something darkly, irresistibly glamorous. Selling it to keep being a fucking FF/FG backbencher whipped out of voting against genocide is too contemptible for words
Protests outside the Dáil tomorrow 5.30 for full sanctions against Israel, and 1pm Thursday over police murdering Yves Sakila like too many Black men before him. If you can’t come do something else, this week all the absolute dregs of humanity are on show and we need to fight it
The Irish government paid for the current kidnapping of citizens by continuing to trade with Israel. Anyone who votes against full sanctions tomorrow is not only refusing to help, but actively funding the piracy

Kidnapping near Crete is a new level of audacity even for Israel. They saw from the last flotilla that there would be no diplomatic consequences for their actions. Appealing to our authorities to sanction them has done essentially nothing, we need to directly disrupt their supply chain from Europe
Dubs: come to the German embassy in Booterstown on Monday at 1pm if you can, there’s a protest for Daniel Tatlow-Devally and the Ulm 5. No juries under German civil law makes it harder than for Palestine Action in the UK; our best hope to help is sustained public pressure over the next few months
Tá seanchainteoir aontheangach Gaeilge le fáil i nach mór gach teaghlach sa Cheathrú Rua, abair, sa daonáireamh 1926 nua-fhoilsithe. Má tá sochaí daonna fós ann in 3000 beimid in ann a fheiceáil arb é Seán Ó hEinirí i ndáiríre an duine deireanach
Fuel is going up as a direct result of US- and European-backed imperial aggression. See you at the next port blockade for Palestine comrades
