More than 100 HAP tenants in Dublin lost their homes after poor conditions flagged
“An innocent tenant, through no fault of their own, ends up back homeless because a landlord doesn’t carry out the works,” says one councillor.

I was today-years-old when I learned that Kestrels were called Windf*ckers in Medieval times, and therefore that will be the name I whisper henceforth whenever I see one of these majestic, mini, murder birds.

Serious question, do we need to call Sam and Dean to break a spell or Crowley to make a deal? #corkgaa #allireland2025 #supernatural #kingofthecrossroads

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

On April 20th, 2025, the United States will Cross the Point of No Return.
That’s the day Donald Trump’s advisory committee is expected to release its findings on whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act — a move that would allow him to deploy the military domestically…

Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.

This thread applies equally to our own Mick Wallace, Clare Daly, and other Irish supposed 'left-wingers': in supporting Russian fascist imperialism in Ukraine, and (previously) Syria, they now find themselves in the same pro-Putin camp as Trump.

Anti-imperialism means ALL, not just US, imperialism.
14. Some of us warned that these positions were indistinguishable from the far right’s. So perhaps it was no surprise to see her glide so smoothly into Trump’s camp, and thence into his government.

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones.

Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed.

Trump is breaking the law to block federal funding for medical research. It's already slowing down our fight against diseases like opioid addiction, Parkinson's, and cancer.

Doctors and researchers are sounding the alarm—hear it directly from them in their own words🧵⤵️

About this Gulf of America business. We have a wee city here called Derry, from its old Irish name, Doire. In 1613 some Brits decided it should be called Londonderry and that became its "official" name. But nobody called it that. /1

EU - 49% SAY THE US NO LONGER MOST IMPORTANT ALLY

And that was back shortly after Trump won the election.

Since then:

- Attack on Greenland
- Trade war started
- Back-stabbing of Ukraine
- Ethnic cleansing in Gaza
- ...

Trump killed the European alliance and NATO. Putin and Xi happy.
Nearly half of EU citizens no longer see US as most important ally
A new survey reveals EU citizens are growing more and more US-sceptic, and think it's time for the bloc to pursue its own foreign policy and reduce ties with Washington. #EuropeInMotion

Sign the petition, lads, it’s for the best!
If we have crossed the threshold, it's still worth signing & sharing this petition - as well as exceedinging a quota in 7 countries, there needs to be a total of 1 million signatures from all countries combined - your signature counts towards this total.
Just 157 more signatures from Ireland to reach the threshold here!

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes.

There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU.

Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.
