I haven't actually seen any Zionist genocide defenders on Bluesky in months.

But they're out in force under the #Eurovision posts!

That shows you how much Israel values @eurovision.tv for hasbara & whitewashing their Genocide of Palestine.
It's why you #BoycottEurovision til they kick Israel out

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

Ireland does not have enough social workers to adequately serve all the people who need them - especially our youngest and most vulnerable citizens, children in care.

But steps are being taken to address this shortage, writes Vivian Geiran

They say that you should dress for the job that you want.

Anyone know where I can get a “peasants revolt” outfit?

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Netanyahu said there’s “no free lunch” for Palestinians—meaning no food, no medicine, no aid unless Hamas hands over captives. Israel is using starvation as a weapon and sabotaging the ceasefire. Read more:

Israel continues sabotage of ceasefire deal with suspension of aid into Gaza
Israel has suspended the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and resumed targeting Palestinian civilians, bringing the ceasefire with Hamas the closest it has even been to collapse.

I always remember Burial 9, a paraplegic man from 4000 years ago. he was loved and taken care of. similar cases have been found all over the world from so many time periods.

Someone who insists a society would choose cruelty over love reveals nothing of historical truth and everything of themselves

Stop calling people 'morons', 'idiots' and 'retards'.

My new book (out in June from @Wildfirebks) tells how badly people with learning disabilities have been treated in the past, and the way that is embedded in everyday culture today.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim.

It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy.

This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

In 2019 there was enough zoned land controlled by Govt to build 414k homes. In Dublin City two thirds of zoned land is owned by DCC, NAMA/LDA or NAMA Debtors. The 4 Dub Co Co’s, NAMA & the LDA have more land than the entire country of San Marion.

With this, and the DoJ clearly targeting political opponents, I'm afraid I have to agree with Steve Levitsky and @lucanway.bsky.social -- we are a competitive authoritarian regime.
