“There is a question that hovers over Irish politics: what will the parties of power do when they start to panic about losing it? Last week, after their joint debacle in the presidential election, we got the grim answer: turn on immigrants.” - @fotoole.bsky.social

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

You should care about the wellbeing of people outside of your immediate family, and make decisions and take actions accordingly.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I get the instinct to “focus on the good things”, but that’s 2010s shit. If now is not the time to find your nearest protest, bring your friends and family, and build a movement, then all hope for the future is gone. Scroll cat videos on TikTok until you burn in a global thermonuclear war I guess.

A story in two parts.
Gript is the propaganda wing of violent right wing politics. They exist to try and push politics rightwards and pull back hard-won rights.
They target and try to redirect people's righteous anger at government policy onto migrants, asylum seekers, and LGBTQ people.

Yep. Living in Berlin I was constantly struck by the ability of Germans to acknowledge the horrors of the Holocaust and in the next breath declare genocidal racism against Muslims.

I got leeway to attend some events during the day but a short election campaign on the government's chosen dste excludes workers and benefits the status quo
There's a reason the Dáil of full of landlords

This website is, honest to god, a critical piece of infrastructure in Irish democracy: irishro.com - it hosts the nomination form for the general election. When this is all over I'll have to go looking for who got the contract.

I’m sick of hearing about hope and love and vague terms of resistance like “don’t let them walk over you.”
Traditional methods of political resistance are over. They control literally everything.
If you’re not talking about organized, illegal, and possibly violent action, you’re kidding yourself.

@paulmurphytd.bsky.social hey, party member here - wondering what the biggest gaps are with SD, and what the prospects of a left pact with them are in advance of the election?
Also, I’m a programmer with web & data experience - would love to volunteer to help with any of that if there’s a need.
