Great turn out today for the National Demonstration for Palestine in Dublin. It doesn’t end with ceasefire! The government must enact the Occupied Territories Bill to sever all ties with the genocidal state of Israel.

Former FG ‘independent’ Verona Murphy of Wexford elected Ceann Comhairle. No stranger to dog whistling about migrants, supports landlords, and will receive €1.2 million in salary over her term.

Right-wing views, right-wing government, right-wing ‘impartiality’.

NBC News has to be satire.

Evil assassin honed his skills playing violent video game AMONG US.

This ain’t journalism…

South East Radio: “Fine Gael Bridin Murphy shocked and disappointed over a targeted campaign by her own party.”

Launching a campaign against your own candidate the night before an election because you gauged the electorate incorrectly and were too greedy running two candidates in the same district…

New poll from the Irish Times this morning. Seems the whole country has seen those woeful clips of Harris.
Left coalition is up to a possible 33%. This may not be our time but Ireland is clearly ready for change. Right-leaning centrism is on the way out.

Thrilled with my signed copy of ‘Coalition of the Unwilling’ written by Clare Daly and Mick Wallace, two former MEPs and champions of the left. A powerful story of resistance in the face of US imperialism. #coalitionoftheunwilling

To call this a compromise is laughable. We need a trillion invested NOW, not in a decade. Climate inaction today will cause a climate disaster in future.

Nonetheless, congratulations to those who negotiated for this increase. Every action (no matter how small) makes a difference.

COP29’s draft agreement of 250 billion is an insult to smaller nations who are at present/ in the future disproportionately affected by climate change.
We need AT LEAST 1 trillion in aid RIGHT NOW in order to face this issue, as reported by the UN’s own investigations.

In Fine Gael’s new ad, Simon Harris talks about creating schemes that are weak substitutes for those proposed by the other parties in Ireland. And again no figures to back it up.

When a political party knows they’re the favourite they will never commit. This is why constant change is so necessary.

Well done to Katie Hannon for pushing Simon Harris like this. Pearse Doherty is correct, Harris is complicit for the scandalous Children’s Hospital and he knows it.

Harris’ attitude was disgraceful throughout the debate. It’s time for change.

Paying for an ad to promote the housing of puppies while we’re nearing 15,000 homeless in Ireland… Seems the US Democrats’ campaign staff have found some new jobs
