It would be cool if Ireland tried having a government that wasn't actively hostile to its citizens for once

Sowas kommt von der Partei, die "Auto verbieten verboten" Plakate überall aufhängt.

[politics understander just read the niemoller poem] oh hell yeah thats loads of people before they come for me that will buy loads of time , sick

Zur Erinnerung, unter einem Senat, der unbedingt Mrd für Olympia hatte, der sich eine neue Oper gönnt, die trotz Stiftung einen hohen dreistelligen Millionenbetrag kostet. Das in einem Land, das eine globale Führungsrolle einnhemen will, das aufrüstet ohne Grenzen... www.ndr.de/nachrichten/...

unsert beitrag zum holocaust gedenken? wir kaufen nur bei israelischen rüstungskonzernen. das gebietet die deutsche verantwortung.

I kid myself that I'm anti-carceral but then I see masked loyalist thugs storming homes with children inside looking for someone to lynch, setting those homes on fire, lording around in view of their victims and I think there isn't a pit deep enough to throw them into forever

Sick to my back teeth of it. If fascism isn't here yet, how do you explain that to the people who were burnt out of their homes? Do we explain to them not to worry, that liberal democracies need to blow off steam sometimes, and they weren't fascists baying for their blood?

In Deutschland werden Menschen verfolgt, die "Kindermörder Israel" rufen, aber nicht diejenigen, die ein Militär finanziell und politisch unterstützen, das regelmäßig Kinder tötet – wie gestern in Hebron.

Als Grund nannte die Stadtbibliothek interne Gespräche mit der Stadtverwaltung, in denen Buch und Autor wenige Monate vor der Landtagswahl als „zu provokant“ eingeschätzt worden seien.

I keep coming back to Euro-Country by CMAT. Almost a year on and the song still hits like a truck. It's a hell of a way to remind oneself that you are in fact absolutely correct to be *fucking furious* with the spineless shoneen devils in suits who run this place.

Knowing and feeling connected to yout history is actually so important and not at all a guarantee or universal experience and we shouldn't take the value places on it in Ireland for granted

this guy, who is here "both sidesing" the Nakba, is one of two members of the executive of the Green-aligned Boell Foundation - in case you wondered how it could be that the discussion on Israel in this country is so intellectually vacuous and dishonest

Ich glaub, da hast Du falsche Informationsgrundlagen zu den Vorgängen 1947/48 in Palästina und Israel. Gewalt und Vertreibungen fanden unter den Augen der britischen Mandatsmacht statt. Bewaffnete Gruppen gab es „auf beiden Seiten“. Nakba & Judenprogrome fanden beide gewalttätig in der Region statt.

I always felt like I was being vulgar or inelegant whenever I stressed the need for people to really grasp the fact that entire swathes of the western ruling class fucking hate muslims, but it really is that simple, and holds for women, immigrants, black people, non-native English speakers, etc.

Was considering checking that game out 🤦‍♀️ once again we have fallen at the "Germans being normal about Jews, Palestinians, et al" hurdle 🫠

My friend Daniel has been held without bail, with restricted access to communications and in largely solitary conditions for months over non violent property damage because the German state wants to use five protesters as a public example of their committed support of Palestinian genocide.

1 in 5 outdoor sex workers (street workers) have been sexually assaulted by Gardaí. You don't have to believe me, you can read the Dept of Justice commissioned research, release 4 years ago.

Fällt irgendjemandem noch ein anderer EU Staat ein wo Künstler:innen und Journalist:innen die letzten zweieinhalb Jahre um Jobs und Engagement bangen müssen wenn sie nicht auf Staatslinie sind? Und wo die öffentlich rechtlichen dieser Staatslinie treu folgen?

Happy Friday.

17,500 homeless. Rents rising even higher. Tenement conditions. Mould everywhere. Illegal evictions happening up and down the country. Vacant and derelict properties galore. Landlords and developers bragging about how much money they’re making off it all. And the government suggest garden sheds!
