Accidentally deleted the original🤦‍♂️

Here’s the alt text for this so you can copy and paste it and text it to your Ma’s and uncles and grandparents and everyone you know who isn’t on social media

It is one small action

We only have ONE day left

Please do it

#SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm
URGENT: Please forward this to everyone and beg them to contact the Irish government and Central Bank before Tuesday and demand that they *do not* break international law by funding genocide. The Central Bank is going to renew its deal to sell Israeli war bonds throughout Europe with the tagline “Israel is at war, stand with Israel”, on Tuesday, 2nd September 2025. It has already raised about €4.5b for the genocide through our Central Bank. The government is pretending they have to renew them by mentioning EU law and saying that the Central Bank is independent. *Martin and Harris have stated that Israel is committing a genocide.* This means if the Central Bank, which operates under Irish law, renews the deal, *the Central Bank and the Irish government are knowingly breaking Irish law, international law and the EU Charter of Fundamental Human Rights, and so they are knowingly enabling and facilitating genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity*. https://www.irishlegal.com/articles/legal-academics-call-on-central-bank-to-block-sale-of-israeli-bonds The Joint Oireachtas Finance Committee has also said that the Central Bank *has to comply* with Irish and international law and said the Central Bank governor was wrong when he said it didn’t. We all have ONE day to email *and* call them to demand they *do not break Irish and international law* and that they *do not renew the deal* to market and sell Israel genocide bonds. Just because the EU wants to break international law does not mean our Central Bank and the Irish government are allowed to break Irish and international law. *If the EU doesn’t like it, let them try to sue us because they won’t win.* (Remember, the Irish government was happy to waste over €8m of tax payers fighting the EU on the Apple tax) Micheal Martin: 01-6194000 taoiseach@taoiseach.gov.ie Simon Harris: 01-6183805 simon.harris@oireachtas.ie Paschal Donohoe: 01-6183689 paschal.donohoe@oireachtas.ie Gabriel Makhlouf, Central Bank Governor: 01-2246000 complaints@centralbank.ie You can also call and email your own TD’s too

Found it! It’s called The Resident. I remembered it was said it was a show that had some actor who was in the Good Wife so started there

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Res...
Melina Kanakaredes as Lane Hunter (season 1; guest season 2): a double board-certified physician in oncology and Radiation Oncology, as well as the former head of Oncology at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. She also owned her own medical clinics. She is arrested at the end of season 1 after it is revealed that she has been giving her patients unnecessary chemotherapy in order to get paid higher premiums and had deliberately killed a patient and framed Nic for it to cover up her crimes. She is later killed during season 2 by a vengeful family member of one of her over-treated patients after being let out on bail.
