I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

School absences in the news again, like this time last year.
It's all talk.
NOTHING done to prevent school acquired infections.
Sickness is the highest reason for absences.
Make schools safer = reduce absences.

Two weeks ago, when reacting to the 2022/23 school attendance report, the Minister for Education was dismissive of illness as being a factor.
Today, a separate report shows that child admissions to adult ICU *more than doubled* in 2023.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

The invisible carbon in Ireland’s waters
It’s no longer enough to ask how much carbon we emit into the air. We must also ask how much we are losing into our waters, silently and invisibly, Dr Michelle McKeown writes.

The invisible carbon in Ireland’s waters
Dissolved organic carbon may be one of the most underestimated pressures on Irish waters. About 20% of our land area is covered by peat and peaty soils, which are among the most carbon-rich ecosystems...

ICE's surveillance has shown people just how bad data misuse can get.
But it's not only your medical records or apps; everyday gadgets in your home are tracking more than you realize. Every device is a potential doorway into your life, and right now, that door is wide open.
