The shifting of blame for the inevitable failure of a profit driven model of care of older people onto the shoulders of low paid carers is a classic move by successive governments @rteone.rte.ie

Forget Greenland, Ireland is the European island the U.S. already owns.
And when it comes to Big Tech, Dublin is Trump’s Trojan horse.
High time for a centralised EU agency to police all European tech laws, including the GDPR, DMA, DSA.

If Brussels is serious about maintaining the integrity of its tech rules, it needs to focus on shifting regulation away from Dublin.

We're probably not talking enough about how Mark Zuckerberg - one of the world's richest men - and his company Meta just stole the work of thousands of writers because it would have been too expensive to pay them.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.

The anger at Trumps regime is growing here in Canada. Flags everywhere, boycotting US products expected. But also great to see leaders seeking new opportunities - huge recruitment drives of US healthcare staff, pivoting to green industries/job creation, plus #defiance
