Good poll result for the @social-democrats.bsky.social today. We’ve effectively doubled our % in just over a year. Our style of politics isn’t the easiest way of doing it- we stay true to our values & won’t compromise in bringing forward evidence based solutions. There’s a lot more to come 💜

Hundreds of thousands of vile sexualised non-consensual images of women and children have been created by Grok, X’s AI tool.
This isn't just horrifying – it's illegal.
The Govt response to this has been muted and confusing.
When will X be prosecuted?

How do they get away with this stuff? They’re either purposefully misleading, or just blatantly ignorant to the facts. Family reunification accounts for less than 1% of inward migration to Ireland. It just means a traumatised person gets to be with their spouse or child while they restart their life

You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system.

Brilliant morning at the STRIPE Young Scientist. I was so impressed by the innovation and intellectual curiosity from the students we met from Dublin Central. The projects ranged from the use of textiles in medical devices, to the impact of DEIS status on student wellbeing and academic performance.

This minister seems to believe that the State has no responsibility with regards to preventing a company, based here in Ireland, from providing the tools by which child sexual abuse material has been generated by its own paid subscribers. A truly bizarre thing to say.

I am outraged by the horrific killing of a legal observer perpetrated by Donald Trump's ICE agents in South Minneapolis. Video footage shows clearly that this killing was unjustified. I demand a full investigation and this agent must be held accountable. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...
ICE agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis amid immigration crackdown
The Department of Homeland Security accused the victim of being a "rioter" and that the ICE officer who pulled the trigger was "fearing for his life." Mayor Jacob Frey rejected claims of self-defense.
