I see Fine Gael are on a "give the police tasers" campaign, on the claimed basis of rising violence against police.

When we have an incident in future where a taser fails, you know exactly what FG will be calling for next.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

“Apartment Vat cut makes no sense and won’t boost housing supply”

“A Vat cut meant to boost apartment construction has instead exposed a circular, ineffective policy that neither lowers costs nor increases supply” @mickcliff.bsky.social

According to Rory Hearne, housing expert and Social Democrats TD, the property listing is "a part of the problem," as "the whole system treats housing as an investment asset, not as a basic human need"

The truth will indeed set you free, and the truth about ol' Two-Faced Timmy here is that he moved $57 million of the church's ill-gotten gains so that it would be out of reach of the victims raped and abused by his "clergy".
Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

Putting up the rent forever is just one of the many attractive aspects of the Government’s housing plan.

Interesting article - I think a big part of why the state is incompetent and unwilling when it comes to resolving the housing crisis is because they're listening to think tanks like this!
This is a fascinating look at influential think tank Progress Ireland, who's behind them, and what they believe. Yeah, I'm biased, as it's written by @lokapila.bsky.social, but still ...
With think tank Progress Ireland, the yimby movement here is powering up
With help from a wider network overseas.

I don't know how you had any patience with that FG shill Sarah Carey shouting over you and parroting government lines. Her FG affiliation is never mentioned
It was a pleasure to go on RTÉ this morning to talk about what's in the Sunday papers. Also a pleasure to have a couple hours ahead of the show to read them in peace, first time I have had that in almost exactly 5 years.

We must remember that the disinformation spreaders do not care that it is not true - they are only interested in any emotional response they can get.
Naming them in pieces like this adds to their notoriety & allows them to cast themselves as victims.
Do not give them the oxygen of amplification.
