For starters - no Irish State/Gov agencies/politicians should be on Twitter. None. They could do this today and it would actually be more than just empty words.

This spoiled vote thing is a Big Flashing Danger sign in the week of racist riots in Ireland - we're stumbling towards a crisis with no leadership or will to tackle misinformation, criminality, intimidation.
And we've seen it coming since the Anti-Vaxx loons started screaming in chemists.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

10 years ago, there was only a single 'leathceann' (windswept) birch tree in the foreground.
Now, there's a full-on exploding diverse native rainforest, none of which was planted. All it took was fencing out sheep.

Our new journal paper has hit the front pages and got wide coverage on the airwaves this morning.
The paper critically assesses “temperature neutrality” as a basis for Ireland’s long-term climate target. We find it amounts to backsliding on climate ambition and locks in food system unfairness.

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines.
Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

At the root of most of Trumps policies and behaviours is a very deep seated racism.
Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

Great to meet residents in Midleton this morning. I really enjoyed canvassing this part of the town in the run up to the election & it was lovely to encounter some of the same people again.
Not a lot of concerns raised today but I residents know where we are for support in the months & years ahead.
