Sooo. The Trump's inauguration looms, leaving many asking: how the fuck did we get here? Is this division, disruption, or history repeating?
But remember Nothing is permanent—leaders come and go, progress endures. This moment will pass. The question is: what do we learn, and how do we move forward?

The "chemical imbalance" myth persists, overshadowing the social and environmental roots of mental health. It's time for holistic, evidence-based care that addresses the full complexity of wellbeing.

Turnout in the mid-30s signals a troubling win for apathy. It’s a clear sign of growing disconnection from the political process. Democracy relies on participation—how can we rebuild trust and re-engage our communities? #Democracy #CivicEngagement #VoterTurnout

16,000 people homeless. Nearly 5,000 are children. This government has failed us all. Generations abandoned while they sit idle. It’s time for change. Vote Sinn Féin and the Left for justice, equality, and a real future. #HousingCrisis #TimeForChange #EndHomelessness

Emotional distress is a universal human experience, yet our systems often fail to provide adequate, compassionate support. It's time to invest in and reform mental health services—centred on understanding, accessibility, and humanity. Let’s prioritise care over crisis. #MentalHealthMatters #change

🩺 Healthcare that works
🌍 Bold climate solutions
