In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.

Under the Labour government,
It is illegal to have a sign that says “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”
It is legal to have a sign that says “I support genocide, I oppose Palestine Action.”

Not "How wealth hoarding by the wealthiest Americans is costing the economy"? Or "How needless device creation is costing the planet"? FFS 😠
If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

There's a public consultation on the right to request remote work legislation - Submissions are requested no later than 3pm on 9 Dec 2025. I'd encourage everyone who is pro WFH to complete the consultation survey as it is hopefully a way to highlight the issues with it. #Ireland #SpéirGhorm #WFH

If we get trapped in a debate that is reductively framed in terms of 'just getting things done' (i.e. Collison bros via Silicon Valley), we lose sight of the bigger, political questions over what infrastructures we need, where and for whom? 4/4

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars.
If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.
Tax the rich.

Setting fire to a building when people, children, are inside should be investigated like it's an attempted murder because that's what it fucking is.

FG & FF are relics of a system that prioritises profit over people & planet, totally incompatible with life. We need to remove them from power once and for all.
And we need a new system, one that doesn't exploit 99.99% of humanity for the benefit of 00.01%

Remember - the Irish government was told years ago when the total was still well under 10,000 how to eradicate homelessness by the man who did so in Finland, and it just ... didn't bother.
And since then, the majority of you kept voting for them.
Well done, everyone. Well done. 👍

In a win for the arts and universal basic income, Ireland plans to make permanent a $1,500-a-month pilot program for artists, citing benefits to creativity, mental health, and financial stability.

Brilliant article @philipoconnor.bsky.social
After presidential fiasco, Fine Gael and Harris choose hate over hope - why the Irish right pivoting to overt racism is as predictable as it is wrong, and what the left (and in particular Sinn Féin) has to do to avoid making the same mistake.
