Biden set fire to the rules based order. Trump is merely dancing in the ashes.

Non-market housing. #NDP

We will protect tenants, build affordability, and create paths to ownership for tenants and young people.

As part of the ceasefire, Gaza has been split in half by the so-called ‘yellow line,’ where Israel’s military controls just over 50% of the Strip. Palestinians are being killed for trying to cross or even get close to the line.

Our government is hiding behind the so-called ceasefire to avoid ending our complicity in apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Enough, there must be #SanctionsNow

For years, AIPAC played a key role in U.S. politics as a campaign financing powerhouse, but now aspiring candidates are distancing themselves from the group. What lies ahead for the Lobby as the Gaza genocide has made Israel a political liability? mondoweiss.net/2025/11/aipa...

People Before Profit are using our time in the Dáil next week to propose a joint motion with left parties to demand implementation of the Occupied Territories Bill including goods and services by Christmas.

The time for delay and watering down is over.

It's time for action.

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.

Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.

Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.
