Never forget: your government didn't give a shit about 7 years of escalating arson attacks on IPAS centres & street assaults on immigrants & LGBT people & that they & the media described the arsonists & shitters on ballot papers as having "reasonable concerns." www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

Astounding that the first substantive mention of #climate in entire Presidential election campaign should occur during Catherine Connolly’s acceptance speech, which she rightly labelled an “existential crisis”.

Neither the main political parties nor our national media seem remotely interested.

You Have to See This Mamdani Ad

I wasn't planning to post anything today. I dislike working and writing on weekends in general, but this was too important to ignore. You have to see this Zohran Mamdani campaign ad that came out this morning: It's an entire political ad, from a major Democratic politician, that is exclusively

if Sheridan is keen, why not ( similar question to Maria Steen) run for election in local, national Seanad/ Dáil elections? There's lots of ways. How do you go from relatively unknown person to "I'm going for Head of State" with zero mandate? Nomination process not issue www.rte.ie/news/2025/10...

Nomination process needs to be looked at, says Sheridan

Former presidential hopeful Gareth Sheridan has said that the presidential nomination process is not fit for purpose and needs to be looked at.

I like the idea of nominating Greta Thunberg for Nobel Peace Prize - there's someone who is walking the talk for peace and for our long-term survival as a species on this planet #NobelGreta

Seeing Irish people simp for Humphreys because she'll keep her head down reminds me of that MLK quote "...the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice" #spéirgorm

There is this delusion that Maria Steen is this widely embraced public figure, when in reality she is a fringe candidate whose polling was no stronger than McGregor's, and whose views on social issues are massively at odds with most of Irish society.

PBS News is doing more to expose the facts than the FBI…

📌 Many young extremists who grew up on social media and never knew life without school shootings now see public violence as a way to go viral.

So the chaotic confusion we are seeing right now is possibly by design.

Why were the Democratic senator Melissa Hortman & her husband’s recent murders by a Trump supporter not portrayed as an ‘attack on free speech ‘ ? Even in death everything is contorted into a culture war to create further division , it’s so utterly depressing.
