I'm Irish. I love learning, love interesting points of view, love words, love kindness and respect, love funny. Love the sea, love good books, love good music (just not country). Love life.
Anger is an energy ...
If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

Lest anyone be confused, the person found guilt of sexual assault, allegedly speaking on behalf of the Irish people in the White House today, does not and will never represent me or most of the people I know.

Just met a really bouncy puppy out for a walk, with a long way to go on her training front but gorgeous. It made me wonder - why did god take the majority of the joy in the world and pour it into the hearts of dogs? maybe because they share it so readily.
And I'm a cat person!

Today we are remembering our dear, departed Janey Godley who mounted a one-person demonstration outside Trump's Turnberry golf course in Scotland

Easy to see who the police supported

It would have been Janey's birthday today

Please donate and save a Palestinian family from destitution and despair. Gazans suffer under a brutal occupation that bombs schools, hospitals, churches, mosques, day care centers, refugee camps and homes leaving Gazans w/out shelter, clean water, food or medical care. 🇵🇸

With Musk pimping for Reform, spreading hateful misinformation, calling for our govt to be brought down and one of its MPs to be imprisoned, all decent MPs should question whether they should be on X at all. They’re enabling a profoundly undemocratic threat to our country by being on his platform.

Beware now of not giving his beliefs more oxygen. Outrage fuels his purpose.

Ensure we don't support any business with which he is associated. Discourage others to do the same.

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work.

We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

"...to make a person productive..." that's just chilling.
Elon Musk is digging and he just won't stop.

Doesn't he know everyone who voted for Trump is a White Supremacist?
