"We didn't come here to listen to a load of stuff about famine and colonialism and genocide and being forced into exile, we came to hear some Irish folk songs!"
Our pals The Mary Wallopers have just been pulled off stage and the PA shut down at VictoriousFest in Portsmouth for taking out a 🇵🇸 flag and saying Free Palestine

Speak up against genocide in England and you're treated like a criminal

Up the Mary Wallopers 💚🤍🧡

Free Palestine!
Free the 6 counties!

Ever been to Monaco? It’s an ugly shithole, full of the worst people in the world
The thing about "tax the rich and they'll leave" is that the rich are people, and want to live somewhere nice. And the places with low taxes tend not to be all that nice.

This now exceeds the building damage recorded in Hiroshima. www.icanw.org/hiroshima_an...
The UN’s satellite centre (Unosat) has published its most recent assessment of damage in Gaza: around 78% of buildings there were damaged or destroyed by Israel by July this year. More than 40% completely destroyed. Here's an example of what that looks like in Abasan al-Kabira in the south.

Mid & East Antrim will hold their first ever Pride parade this year in Ballymena on 28 June.

M&EA are going to need a lot of us to show up for reasons that should be obvious given what's happening in the town atm.

Numerous counter-protests have already been registered.

This is what Pride is about

Elon Musk “apparently did not anticipate that it would be bad PR for the world’s richest man to take food and medicine from the world’s poorest children,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

As the EOs and orders keep coming, I keep thinking of the exhibit in the Berlin Jewish Museum that displays the 962 anti-Jewish laws and policies in order as they came down. These kinds of drumbeats are designed not just to oppress but to normalize oppression. www.jmberlin.de/en/jmb-journ...

I'd happily pay higher Local Property Tax if the money offset rates and other costs for enterprises of cultural value like bookshops, cinemas, heritage (non-franchise) cafes and youth clubs.

I think many homeowners would, but politicians seem to think we want tiny tax cuts.

I swear, this is the best thing about voting in Ireland. Spitefulness is the reason I get up in the morning, so including it in the democratic process is just gravy on top.
Reminder: Ireland’s PR-STV electoral system not only allows you to support the candidates you like - but also to punish the ones you don’t.

If there’s a candidate(s) you despise, you can promote *literally everyone else* ahead of them by giving those rivals all the preferences on your ballot paper.
