We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

This week alone:

- Irish rapist platformed in the White House.

- Israel unleashed hell on Gaza

- Orban banned Budapest Pride

- almost 5000 Irish kids remain homeless

- Ukraine begging for survival

Plenty of topics there to get hot & bothered about.

On #StPatricksDay - a message to those of Irish heritage who support anti-immigrant and far right politics.

This quote is from Ireland’s great liberator when addressing Irish-American slave owners.

It’s clear that the leadership of the Democratic Party is absolutely fucking worthless and has no grasp of the moment they are in.
The Senate just voted 67-32 to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary, which means a lot of Dems voted for her. During a fucking constitutional crisis.

1st European Housing Committee Meeting today.

10 years ago there were 900 homeless children in Ireland. Now there are almost 5000.

In 2024 the European Commission said weak tenant rights were adding to the problem in Ireland.

Europe must act!

Hard to be shocked after a week of pig-sty standard communications from the White House.

But Trump-Vance press conference with Zelenskyy was utterly disgusting.

Ukraine, and possibly other states, will live or die by EU’s decisions.

Taoiseach needs to speak truth to power in 2 weeks time.

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

It's hard to keep track of all the horrific, mostly illegal things the Trump-Vance administration has already done.

That's on purpose.

They want to distract, scare, and confuse us. They hope we’ll give up and let them do whatever they want. I refuse to give them that satisfaction.

There can hardly be a more
grotesque image in recent political history.

Trump suggests the US expel all Palestinians from Gaza while the man who killed 47,000 Palestinians smirks beside him.

And the Taoiseach will sit & smile with a bowl of shamrock there next month?

When we talk about infrastructure, we talk about things that help people get to work—like roads, bridges, & transit.

I want to make a plug for something else that helps people get to work: child care.

Child care is basic infrastructure. And we should invest in it accordingly.
