Every death, Israeli or Palestinian is a tragedy. Every child killed or taken hostage is an atrocity. Hate fuels hate. I stand with peacemakers in Israel & Palestine who reject zealotry & extremism.
End the genocidal slaughter, deliver aid, free all hostages, end illegal settlements🕊️

Who can forget his performance in Brassed Off?
“I thought that music mattered. But does it bollocks? Not compared to how people matter. Us winning this trophy won't mean bugger-all to most people. But us refusing it - like what we're going to do now…”

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I began reading Art Spiegelman's Maus for the first time.
The graphic novel's depiction of the Holocaust's horrors remains profoundly moving and a stark reminder of the importance of remembering and combating antisemitism.

Brushing off the last of the winter chill at Lough Gur, Co. #Limerick. The lake is partially frozen, creating a stunning contrast with the clear blue sky.
The lake is still a bit sleepy, but the views are wide awake!

Mick Lynch retires. He brought the campaigns of rail workers to the forefront, captivating the public with his unwavering spirit. He'll be sorely missed on the picket line, but I suspect he'll continue to speak truth to power. #MickLynch #RMT #RailWorkers
