What the Irish Green Party forgot when they put the two big conservative, right-of-centre, business-as-usual parties back into power in the last government.
Let's hope no leftist, progressive party *ever* again makes the same mistake in this country.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Tonight people are going to push a narrative of "why are immigrants taking our homes/healthcare/stuff" instead of the actual narrative which should be "why don't we have what we need, why have our governments failed us?". And it's convenient for the govt to have this be the message.

I keep seeing posts from Official People, handwringing, warning of "a risk" of famine in #Gaza. There are starving children all over my fucking timeline. At what point do they stop being grossly belated "warnings" and become fucking actions? Sanctions?

So Israel has announced their plan for a further attack on Gaza and included is the fact that they intend to force everyone out of the North and no aid will enter until everyone complies.
