What we learnt from the Austrian lady on drive time on RTE radio 1 in regards to state owned housing and the half a million people in Vienna who live in them is that we need a left leaning socialist government in Ireland as soon as possible.

Manchester City play a game of football today. Most of us will be watching. Which makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is why so few care about City’s owner playing an active role in a genocide so gruesome it can be seen from space. By @barneyronay.bsky.social

Much like dictatorship or climate change, the threat of AI taking your job is no longer hypothetical. It's here, as shown by last week's bloodbath at UPS, Amazon, etc.

A Spanish-language immersion daycare in a leafy residential neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago was raided by federal immigration agents on Wednesday and a teacher was taken away, panicking school administrators and parents of infants, toddlers and pre-kindergarten children at the center, a staff worker at the daycare told Reuters.

When he said that rich people were donating more money to anti-Mamdani campaigns than he was proposing to take from them in extra taxes... I felt that in my soul.
Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral race, capping a meteoric rise from a little-known state politician to one of the country's most visible Democratic figures.

BTW, for those keeping score, I predicted this last week.
For more than 20 years, I've been covering how mainstream politics reacts to the far right, and I can tell you that unless you act, it's going to get much, much worse in Ireland.

When I was young, I didn't read teen mags. But as an adult, as an editor, I read Teen Vogue.
Teen Vogue was doing something amazing. They were bringing interesting, quality news — the kind of news that gets teens *into quality news for life* — to a this age group.
So, go support this people.

thank you for the outpouring of support!
those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

The problem with housing is not building enough social housing, allowing vulture funds control and take over the market and property and land be hoarded. Thousands of houses in unfinished estates because FF screwed the economy etc etc etc. NOT asylum seekers, a very small number of people.

This is fucking disgusting. Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have sold us down the swanee with housing...and now they are blaming it on people coming here to seek asylum. Absolutely obscene
