Sure, we have weekly far-right terror attacks being planned and actively happening, but has anyone considered that 11 years ago Paul Murphy sat in front of a car for two hours.

Really REALLY important that everyone who enjoys #SpéirGhorm goes through these settings and toggles the switch to enable 'rude' posts. Tis a rare one of us who doesn't have a colourful tongue.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I guess Irish democracy is only in crisis when a socialist wins the largest ever public mandate. Not when the current govt tries to ram through war machine policies without a public vote.

Leftists everywhere are winning elections and rising in polls by refusing to pander on the right on migrant rights, trans rights, Palestinian freedom etc. Let these lessons sink in, I beg

Tánaiste Simon Harris can we have "open and honest debate" about investors buying half the houses in the country, is the number of vulture funds coming to this country "too high"?? Jesus f#cking Christ *screaming into the night sky* #spéirgorm

I've gotten good responses back, I'd encourage others to try this or something similar!
I've taken Rob's advice and emailed a couple of local reps. I know it can feel sort-of low effort at times, but considering what's going on and what we're up against, I feel it's worth pushing back at every avenue and fighting for every inch. Feel free to click on ALT to copy and use my template:

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Louis Theroux has interviewed actual literal murderers before, but a musician with views that the British establishment don't like is just a step too far for British Airways.

A moment that has stayed with me: after the result was announced as gaeilge, and cheered to the rafters by Connolly supporters, the returning officer began "and in English...", eliciting a hearty guffaw, and for a brief moment it was as if anything said in that language was an irrelevant formality

Now that the headbangers have got attention of-a-sort for spoiling their votes, has anyone in Aontú, Ind. Ire, etc wondered if it might be a problem to convince them to fill out a ballot normally ever again? Be careful what you wish for. #Áras25

This was unique circumstances for spoiled vote: no anti-gov candidate anywhere on the right, loud online campaign, week of riots. It’s still going to end up with less than half the vote Peter Casey got as a similar protest. The “political earthquake” here is the thumping victory for the united left

The left-wing candidate will end up with almost double the total of all other choices combined.
Every opinion columnist tomorrow: “The real story here is all the spoiled votes.”
#speirgorm #aras25
So if the spoiled vote is between 12-13% and with the right wing / St Maria of the holy handbag crowd claiming this vote - Catherine Connolly still wins the election with a commanding win, on or over 60% #speirgorm #aras25

Don’t flake on voting just because the result is in the bag! Margin matters. Remember how awful it felt seeing Peter Casey jump from 2% polls to 23% after his attacks on travellers. A low turnout/high number of spoiled votes will be seized on by the fash. Every vote for Connolly undermines them
