Greying activist, hobbyist in thinking in a political wasteland, forever hopeful for social change that seeks to benefit the many and not the few. Optimistic realist and other contradictions daily practiced.
There is no finer demand, than to demand peace in the face of hate and never move...
I stand in solidarity and hope for millions to enjoy Peace, hope for the day that Justice will rest its scales in judgement of all that has happened. InHumanity should have no place in any society.

You have to wonder at times. With all the philosophy. All the thought on humanity. All the development and growth in society and more.
How. as a species, we arrived at a place where humanity, racism, genocide, hunger, poverty, and loneliness are commonplace.

11% of Traveller deaths are caused by suicide!
For #HumanRightsDay, we gathered outside Leinster House demanding action on Traveller mental health.
The promised standalone strategy remains undelivered. We need ring-fenced funding, accessible services & urgent implementation.

Prep your shocked face: State Sen. Wendy Rogers follows neo-Nazis on X
Rogers has a long history of cozying up to extremists. “Well knock me over with a feather,” sarcastically wrote one Democrat.

If you were born on April 1st in the year 0001
For each day, you were given US $450,000.
and through some freak of nature were still alive, not having spend a cent of that money since then.
You still would not be as wealthy as Musk, Dec 1 2024: 330.1 billion
Mad statistic, in a world of poverty.

In the gilded halls of power, where fortunes are whispered and legacies built, a grotesque imbalance has taken root: America's richest 1% now hold a sum that constitutes 30% of the nation's wealth.
Taxing the rich is not radical. Allowing such a grotesque concentration of wealth to persist is.

Realistically there is no reason for Hunger to be a reality.
Reality is that countries like the US, UK and others spend well beyond a trillion annually on arms, than food for children.
Politically it does not seem to matter left vs right, a childs life is valued less than a bullet's force.

Think of people you love that have had it hard, or can't get the help or supports they need.
Vote in their interests.
Remember times when life was hard, and what you needed, what could have been different.

For those who defend the indefensible, Nikita's story appears to be a recurring story of abuse.
The question is how many women were afraid or intimidated and did not report.
And how many more hide behind fame and wealth.

In 2016, he said "water charges should be scrapped for the lifetime of the next government"
8 Years later, we are still waiting on this red line voting issue. Water workers struggling for rights, and the water referendum remains on a shelf.
