Something that was conveniently omitted in all the original news pieces.
Incredible bad faith mischaracterisation of this movement to rename Herzog Park. Like all Israel's presidents, Chaim Herzog, perpetrated apartheid and the ethnic cleansing and brutalisation of Palestinians.

Migrants moving to your local area is not a “legitimate reason” for racism.
LGBT folk being more visible in schools is not a “legitimate reason” for homo/transphobia.
Women not wanting to date you is not a “legitimate reason” for misogyny.
There’s no “legitimate reason” for bigotry.
Just saying.

it’s so interesting how every trans person, even children, are “activists” for defending their basic humanity and dignity, whereas people who devote countless hours attacking trans people and their legal rights obsessively are never “anti-trans activists.” somehow all trans people are agender too.

How much of these cases is it the judge being awful and how much is the trans person's lawyer being useless at explaining what is happening in ways the judge can understand?

Just leave transgender neighbours alone, to get on with their lives.
Imagine trans kids, the happy, hopeful kids who just want to be themselves.
Don’t let life and society grind them down.
Give them a thumbs up and go back to cutting your grass.
ffs.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

All very well. But the gardai need to reflect on their own failed approach to policing anti-immigration events too.
🚨Garda warning:
"Harris's comments were
supported by the Taoiseach
and Paschal Donohoe, the
finance minister.
However, senior gardai are understood to be concerned by the
rhetoric coming from the
government on immigration
because of the challenges in
policing rising tensions over
the issue."

Wild thing looking at the NY mayor election is that the Cuomo campaign appears to consist entirely of AI generated deep fake videos of his opponents. Someone is 100% going to copy that here and we need legislation to be ahead of this

Your reminder that racism and fascism are inherently anti-democratic ideologies, and thus are owed nothing by democrats or democratic systems.
Under no circumstances do you have to "hear them out", nor should anything be changed to suit them. Ever.

A lot of the spoiled ballots I saw while tallying were very explicitly and forcibly racist. When the talking heads from Iona and Aontú say that FF and FG need to court their votes, that is who they are talking about.
The girls at the count centre were laughing at all your pathetic spoiled ballots, btw.
