Great to see campaigners against TikTok toxicity. However, it is against Tiktok's whole business model to de-toxify.

We need to build platforms from the ground up designed on values not profit, like Loops joinloops.org

Iceland has designated the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) a national security concern and an existential threat.

Yet still fossil fuel usage continues to grow, and they barely agreed to *name* the problem at #COP30.

The government still claim that they have to consult with the Attorney General about including services alongside goods in the #OccupiedTerritoriesBill. In fact, the AG previously delivered 23 pages of legal advice, which did not flag the need for any distinction between goods and services.

We marched as part of the climate demo in Dublin on Sat 15th Nov, with hundreds of others. We sent a clear message, during COP, that all sectors, including aviation, need to play their part in a safer climate future. More in our latest newsletter: childrensrightsoverflights.ie/2025/11/18/a...

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Trócaire's @siobhancurran.bsky.social explains why we need a fossil fuel phase out, and why the Irish government must start putting people and the planet first, not corporations.

As thousands marched to the Dáil on Saturday, the message couldn't be clearer - we need climate justice NOW!

We won strong EU laws against child labour & nature destruction, but Manfred Weber (EPP leader in the EU Parliament) is siding with the far-right to undo it, backed by Sean Kelly (Ireland South MEP) . Tell them to protect our future, not big business. Act now! share.greens-efa.eu/s/RUSRvVhq

The Trump admin is might remove anti-corruption #sanctions on mining magnate Dan Gertler, write John Prendergast and Sasha Lezhnev.

The authors say the move would significantly undermine U.S. efforts to broker peace in the DRC and access critical minerals:
