Let's get behind Catherine Connolly for President! It is very easy to donate to her campaign and even the price of a cup of coffee would be helpful so just give whatever you can.

There are lots of other ways to support Catherine's campaign too. See here:

I saw a similar one in the Netherlands but it said "Kiss and Ride". My Dutch friends couldn't understand my fit of giggles.

More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza.

And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.

Israel has assassinated the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza, Netanyahu's government carried out the assassination after the team of journalists spent months reporting on Israeli war crimes, collecting daily evidence of ongoing atrocities.

“This is not famine. This is weaponised hunger. The deliberate strangling of a people - not with rope, but with red tape. Not just with bombs, but with bureaucracy… The world did not merely fail Gaza. It abandoned her. And in doing so, it exposed itself.”

This is extermination as the world watches.

Gaza is a mirror reflecting the world's absolute, unvarnished shame

Netanyahu was allowed to turn food into leverage and treat the relief of a besieged population as a prize to be bartered. This is not just immoral or illegal, it is obscene

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Ireland spends less than any other country in the EU on social welfare as a % of GDP, and less than half the EU average. Inequality is growing.

And the Govnt wants to double defence spending to €3 bn a year.

"Let’s review. On one hand, we have 4,844 children and over 10,000 adults accessing homelessness services. On the other hand, we have €4,500,000,000. Now, this is a puzzle. A quandary for the ages. I’m racking my brain here and I just— Can't we just take the money and—?"

This week's Surrealing:

Surrealing in the Years: At least 4,844 children homeless, and we ain't seen nothin' yet

Despite a €4.5 billion budget surplus, the worst is somehow yet to come.

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement.

Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

toomajofficial "Evacuate Tehran" is nothing more than a populist slogan meant to later claim: "We didn't intend to kill Iranian civilians; they just refused to leave the war zone."
But how are over 9 million people - without fuel, often without enough savings to relocate, and with no second home in another city - supposed to evacuate Tehran?
If your intention is to kill the people of Iran, at least have the honesty not to hide the burden of that responsibility.
Your war is not with the people of Iran. If you attack them, you are, in truth, killing hostages.
And you know very well that such a crime will plant seeds of hatred that could deprive generations - both ours and yours — of the peace and calm we all long for.
No child should become a victim of decisions made by politicians hiding behind the iron walls of their palaces.

“So they changed the colours of his vestments. So what? Have you seen what he looks like the rest of the time? Virtually every Child of Prague figurine I’ve ever seen looks like what would happen if all of the Elfs on the Shelfs got together and elected a Pope.”

Surrealing in the Years:

Surrealing in the Years: Mayo Pride's 'Child of Drag' is a 'dreadful blasphemy'. So what?

Have you seen what he looks like the rest of the time?

I cannot emphasize this enough.

Reach out to Your SF TD's, MLA's, councillors.

They don't know about the NGS. They aren't clued in on the Cass report.

The gender conference is early July.

I've spoken to several and seen good results.

Don't complain about the result after the fact.

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

This will be a fascinating conference and an important chance for learning about research and action to tackle health injustices from all over the world. It will be of interest to anyone who is passionate about the intersection of social justice and health and is open to all, not just psychologists.
