Go raibh maith agat, Michael D.
It’s been a privilege to have marched with, chatted with, campaigned with and for Michael D Higgins - a President of whom we’ve been proud.
Something that’s little spoken of now was how difficult it was to get Michael D on the ballot for the Presidency. (🧵)

‘We call on all peaceful and compassionate people across Ireland to come together in unity and reject hatred in every form. Let us not allow fear or division to take root in our communities. Together, we are stronger and together, we will stand for peace, respect, and justice.’
The only place that Ireland's Muslim population pose any kind of threat to society is in online spaces like The Liberal dot ie, Gript and the far-right accounts on FB and X:

Lots of people already talking Xmas gifts on here this eve.
If there is a St Pat’s fan in your life, this is something they would treasure. If we ever did make any money on it (far from it as I post!) it goes back into researching and promoting Pat’s history. 🔴⚪️

Horrific
Disgusting assault on a brown skinned child by scumbag youths in Tuam, Co Galway. But unsurprising, sadly. It's the TikTok/Snapchat culture for clicks and likes these days. Social media needs to be held far more accountable for allowing this horrific content on their apps.

A lot of people think the Bertie recipe cannot be trusted, it's a bit too bitter and slippery.
