This is the tragedy of a world where the existence of trans people and their right to be left alone is constantly under threat by the worst people.
A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers.

"Miles’ death came a day after a substitute teacher refused to use his preferred pronouns."

It's the type of bullying @thefireorg.bsky.social and @aricohn.com support.

I can imagine with such terrible parents, those kids will hopefully distance themselves - though the Burke’s are quite the example of parental indoctrination the other way.

The E3 (UK, France, Germany) counter-proposal for a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is vastly superior to the US sell-out.

It has a strong focus on Ukraine’s sovereignty, EU membership, security guarantees & reparations, and no surrender of free Ukrainian territory to Russian occupation.

This, in a nutshell, is where we’re at. All the lies, the distraction, NGO-blaming and drive towards even further deregulation is to cover the naked fact that, in Ireland, big polluters pull the strings and our politicians just nod along.

The Irish Times published and lauded John Collison's op-ed, but did they fact-check it?

Andrew Jackson did. Thoroughly.

If you spent time reading the original, you'd want to give time to this counterpoint as well.

Okay whoever decided on that ridiculous story about suspected foxes cutting wires in Dublin needs to own up. They don't even have any proof and there's a whole piece with interviews etc.

I live in (what I think I'm correct in saying is) the most diverse constituency in the whole country - Dublin Central, D1 - *and* I'm old enough to remember what this place was like before significant immigration, and the idea that immigration hasn't been good for this country is fucking laughable

FF & FG have skilfully blocked the Occupied Territories Bill for the bones of a decade. They have no intention of standing up to the US govt and IBEC by doing what the electorate want. Frances Black is a decent person, but that was used against her and she was had.
