Let's explore the Green credentials of Heather Humphreys - The woman former GP member Brian Leddin thinks should be president.
She advocated for an increased burn period during her time as Minister for Heritage, as well as prolonging the period during which hedgerows could be cut. #Spéirgorm 1/n

The current Irish government is hostile to climate action #spéirgorm

"The report from this second stage was completed and sent [to DoCEE] eight months ago.

It has been sitting on the Minister for the Environment Darragh O’Brien’s desk ever since, awaiting publication, only partially leaked."

Eamon Ryan: Why is the Government delaying publication of the land use review?

Fears around the report are misplaced and it is long past time for it to be published

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

'The campaign against white minority rule in S Africa offers a historical touchstone and strategic playbook. The country was banned from the Olympics from 1964 onwards; Fifa expelled S Africa in 1976; cricket, rugby and tennis bodies followed, leading to almost total exclusion from big competitions'

The so called “leaders” placed behind the head of the American Fascist party look uncomfortable, amused, but most of all complicit schmucks willing to humiliate themselves in his gaslighting glory.

✋ It’s a SLAPP!

🤔 Why debate when you can silence with a lawsuit?

Stella O’Malley and her organisation Genspect are doing just this in threatening to sue fellow psychotherapist Leonie O’Dowd over an article in the Irish Journal of Counselling & Psychotherapy.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

This is correct, in part - as the grim, military historian in me feels the need to note - it is psychologically much harder to get soldiers to open fire on people they view as 'respectable.'

And I dread, with grim increasingly certainty, that we are headed to a point where that matters.

protests against this government should include white Boomer grandmothers who meet for pilates class, get a pitcher of mimosas & walk together to the public space

we need people in the street who think everyone can talk their way out of a speeding ticket, they're key to winning

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"
