Let's get behind Catherine Connolly for President! It is very easy to donate to her campaign and even the price of a cup of coffee would be helpful so just give whatever you can.
There are lots of other ways to support Catherine's campaign too. See here:

More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza.
And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.

“This is not famine. This is weaponised hunger. The deliberate strangling of a people - not with rope, but with red tape. Not just with bombs, but with bureaucracy… The world did not merely fail Gaza. It abandoned her. And in doing so, it exposed itself.”
This is extermination as the world watches.

Gaza is a mirror reflecting the world's absolute, unvarnished shame
Netanyahu was allowed to turn food into leverage and treat the relief of a besieged population as a prize to be bartered. This is not just immoral or illegal, it is obscene

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Ireland spends less than any other country in the EU on social welfare as a % of GDP, and less than half the EU average. Inequality is growing.

Reach out to Your SF TD's, MLA's, councillors.
They don't know about the NGS. They aren't clued in on the Cass report.
The gender conference is early July.
I've spoken to several and seen good results.
Don't complain about the result after the fact.

And history will remember not just those who cheered it on, but those who stayed silent.

Biological sex is not a static reality. Scholars have spent decades pointing out how assuming a sex binary is not only wrong but also unethical as it erases the lives of those who are embodied differently. Courts should not give effect to “common sense” when such sense is unethical and unscientific.
Attendees at the #RDconf last Saturday voted on an emergency motion to show their opposition to the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman.

I look forward to the day when people completely stop describing this woman as a feminist.
When Harry Potter (and Cormoran Strike) author JK Rowling could have supported a pregnant woman on her own TV show, she chose not step in.
The pregnant actress brought a discrimination claim against JK Rowling's production for violating her rights under the Equality Act, and won.
