Why is everyone, literally everyone calling the children who Epstein sex trafficked, women? Underaged women. If they were underaged, they were children. Girls. Children, not adults. Children. Stop calling them underaged women. They were girls.

Despicable stuff from Jim O'Callaghan and the Irish government. A clear case of kicking down at those in the most need. Horrendous. Get this shower out of power.
Justice and Migration Minister Jim O'Callaghan said he's committed to ensuring Ireland is 'not viewed more favourably than the UK by those seeking to claim asylum'.

His statement comes following proposed reforms to the UK's asylum practices

🚨 Last chance to ask Basketball Ireland not to play apartheid Israel, to respect the Palestinian boycott call. This game is on tomorrow, we really do not want our National Women's Basketball team to play. It's unthinkable.

Apartheid Israel's attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank are escalating. They want to ethnically cleanse and steal all of Palestine. And they do this with total impunity. And our government won't even enact the #OccupiedTerritoriesBill

If you are a non-Irish news outlet reporting that Ireland has a new left-wing President that's fine, but you need to also report that this is nothing new for Ireland and is in fact just the type of president we've been going for the last few rounds

So glad to see @zarahsultana.bsky.social stand up for justice again! An MP with a morality I can recognise. Thanks Zarah
Today’s not guilty verdict for Soldier F isn’t justice; it’s another betrayal of the victims and their families.

I’ll always stand with the Bloody Sunday families until justice is delivered. Dlúthpháirtíocht.

I'm a nobody on social media. I have barely any followers on here, although it's more than I had on the other place. And I still some how have more folowers than likes. My "Discover" feed is mostly people I already follow.

I don't know how any of this works.

Gaza absolutely must have a harbor and airport. No part of the blockade can be allowed to remain. Israel cannot be allowed to have control or jurisdiction over Palestinians ever again.

There is not a person on earth anymore who genuinely believes that Israel deals in good faith with Palestine.
