Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

It was great to have @catherinegalway.bsky.social out in Dublin South West.

The choice for the presidential election is now clear.

#Connolly4President has clear momentum and we need to continue getting more people to volunteers on the campaign to keep going for the next 2 weeks!

The timeline never made sense.

"This thing is going down like a lead balloon, which the candidacy was in reality even before this."

Micheál Martin and Jack Chambers keep trying to wash their hands of this. Fianna Fáil were contacted before they even selected Jim Gavin.

Great response for Catherine Connolly tonight in Homelawns and Mountain Park.

People are angry at a budget that will leave most worse off while handing billions to the developers and fast food giants.

They will come out to strike a blow against FF and FG at the ballot box.

I write full time largely because of one thread about getting high with the Irish president. As cringe as it is to admit, my entire life has been massively enhanced by Twitter and ketamine over precisely the same time that those two things have proven less beneficial for Elon Musk.
