Teaching children kindness is left-wing now
What the ever loving fuck is wrong with the ghouls at the Telegraph, and likes of Laura Trott, when they are complaining about kids being compassionate and caring towards people trying to rebuild their lives in safety after fleeing unimaginable shit? 1/2

The latest spate of attacks on Indian people is simply the outworking of a renormalisation of racism within our public discourse.

Lads. Did anyone in The Phoenix do any checking on this story? Because the Norwegian publication that it likely originated from has deleted it.

🧵 Recently, a poll was carried out in the UK to see what respondents thought of the Supreme Court case about trans ppl. The findings of that court have been challenged by a number of experts & are likely to be in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights [1]

When art becomes a crime, power goes unchecked.

Political artists are not the threat—those who try to silence them are.

Today my artwork has been featured in an art exhibition. If you're from Ireland and live in Kerry, I recommend dropping by to have a look! My artwork is being featured at Siamsa Tire Tralee county Kerry.

As a future cartoon artist, I am honored.

I think it’s important to draw attention to small acts of courage and dissent (like this NYT ad and the message from the VT ski resort social media manager) that remind people of the range of possibilities for standing up, speaking out, and fighting back.
A guy was so horrified by what Trump did that he bought a full-page ad in the front section of the national Sunday New York Times — which costs somewhere north of USD $100,000 — asking him to resign

I am thrilled to be in UCC this morning to input my own contribution to the panel discussion of "What does it mean to be black in Ireland today ?"

I want to see a more empowered, diversified, and inclusive with no hierarchy in the society. Ireland is changing positively.

Every time this comes up, it turns out the babies with Pulse records in the Garda intelligence system created for them are Travellers.

Just in case that wasn’t clear.

Pulse even has a setting for “family tree”.

This is my favourite piece of #GE2024 literature 😬
Although we face more years under FF/FG mismanagement of our country, it's good Irish voters said a clear
"NO!! And now ye can just feck off!!"
to fascist, bigoted, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, lying bastards trying to take over our island.
Well done all who made sure of that happening✊️💚

If you don't know already from Twitsville, @seamusryan.bsky.social has mastered the art of making local politics engaging. His live updates of Limerick County Council meetings are both informative and entertaining. His use of memes is perfection 👌

I would highly recommend a follow
I've now heard from 12 households on Limerick's northside that Willie O'Dea canvassers suggested they give their #ge24 no.2 preference to Frankie Daly rather than Dee Ryan, the other Limerick City Fianna Fail candidate.

They're the only 12 I asked.

Quite the coincidence, innit.
