Cooperation with right-wing extremism won’t win mercy from the Republican administration’s cuts to education and research funding. There’s no reason not to resist. Only our institutions can save themselves.
Let this be a lesson to other institutions: you will never appease a political movement built on targeting higher education & dismantling intellectual oversight in favor of right-wing extremism.

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index.

This explains why the previous governments had trouble meeting home building targets. They wanted to build a case that removing renter protections is necessary.
Shortsighted, reckless, incompetent leadership. Ireland has the wealth and resources to make housing a basic right not a profit driven commodity but fffg would rather sell out the people for landlords and investors again. Traitors.

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired.
Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way.
Unions are good.

Disabled people should never die in a wildfire in the most well-resourced society on earth. That should not be a controversial political statement.

This is a scary prospect. With current cis/hetero supremacist sentiment being as strong as it is at the moment, consider buying hard copies of art and literature from non-cis/hetero people to preserve this part of our world, at least in our private lives. And fight to keep it in public too.
every trans author I know is currently unclear on whether their books will be banned in the next four years or not, buy trans books NOW, in paper

Know anyone in Mayo? Spread the word that the Céide Fields are worth supporting as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A neolithic farming settlement you can see firsthand. www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...
Céide Fields ditched as possible World Heritage Site ‘due to lack of public support’
The Céide Fields, one of the most important and extensive Stone Age monuments in the world, was ditched as a possible World Heritage Site due to a “lack of public support”.

How is this possible? Who cares if there's "lack of public support". A completely unique 6000 year old site that provides evidence of early farming technology, right now when the climate is collapsing? How is that not interesting? Protect the fucker www.independent.ie/irish-news/c...

I support Mr Fogarty’s half-baked intention to take Doonbeg Golf Club from Donald Trump’s company. If he needs it or wants it, he should just take it, right? Please also note the US Supreme Court refused to stop sentencing for Donald Trump’s hush money conviction. It’s not an undue burden.

Read this to confirm the ridiculous, then keep an eye out for Jack Smith’s forthcoming report about how much of a criminal Trump is. Also support any Republican lawmaker willing to resist falling in line.
Trump's proposal to acquire Greenland his hitting a nerve.
“We know how they treat the Inuit in Alaska,” a Greenlandic MP said. “Make that great before trying to invade us.”

US President Elect Trump suggests that as soon as he is inaugurated the US will be more vulnerable to foreign attack than any time in its history. Proposing wild territory grabs in three directions, Trump hints that enemies have a once in 3 centuries opportunity to overwhelm the US.

If Florida’s state government reverses trans inmates’ gender affirming care against their will, it is the same as the nightmare scenario of schools sending teenagers home with a new gender assignment. It’s a human rights violation.
A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates.
Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy.
This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people.

Federal Court Rules In Favor of Forcibly Detransitioning Transgender Inmates In Florida
Incarcerated transgender people were a major topic of debate in the 2024 elections. Now, a judge ruling on a Florida policy shows how cruel abandoning trans people in prison can be.

I definitely want to destroy any civilisation this man aspires to. That’s not a malfunction, it’s a design feature. And it doesn’t conflict with my other life goal of enjoying and tending my cis marriage with my husband. #DismantlePatriafchy

This meme describes what’s so dangerous about making heroes out of vigilantes while undermining trust in the justice system. Where have all these Luigi supporters been while we were advocating for single payer healthcare?

Honest question: are Trump’s supporters genuinely more afraid of homosexuals and transsexuals than they are of heterosexual sexual predators? Is heterosexuality always better than the alternatives, even if the heterosexual in question has sexually assaulted another human being?

As I have said before, the problem with this government is that it sees housing as transactional, when we council house kids know that housing in transformational.
A loving, permanent home, a haven, gave me space to study, to learn, and, ultimately, to give back.
