Tonight in Ballina - free admission. Just rock up. Part of #BallinaFringeFestival.

As a founder member of the festival, I'm glad to see it used to platform Palestinian voices (and @tonygroves.bsky.social and @audreykissane.bsky.social ).

Well done @debbierua.bsky.social and @mayoipsc.bsky.social

“I’d rather risk myself on a boat, no matter what happens, than risk living in a world where genocide is enabled.”
TD Barry Heneghan quoting @naoisedolan.bsky.social hours before they were both abducted in international waters by Israel.

The now deleted video from Heather Humphreys’ team including an image of the Reichstag building in Berlin.

Video focused on how Heather knows the border and the North - and was posted days after she said she doesn’t just go on “day trips”.

The reason Israel thinks it can get away with everything is because Israel gets away with everything. Sanctions now. Pass the Occupied Territories Bill. Kick them out of FIFA, UEFA and IOC.

Spoke with TD Barry Heneghan on the #EchoChamberPod who was onboard the Thousand Madleens to Gaza Flotilla yesterday just as they were entering the “red zone.” A few hours later he was abducted by Israeli forces in international waters alongside the rest of his humanitarian crew.

The Basic Income for the Arts Scheme is €325 a week, similar to what they gave out during the pandemic. This is how much they've deemed one needs in order to live in Ireland. So why is disability benefit only €244? Why are disabled and sick people expected to live so far below the poverty line?

This statement can be both accurate and misleading.

It is intended to reassure Dublin’s largest employer (Google) that no effective regulatory action will be taken, while justifying that by the use of the word “precise” in the last line.

Without a definition, it can be used to avoid all action.

We told the DPC about this. It has known for years.
But yesterday it released this in a statement - perhaps in an attempt to absolve itself from the location scandal shown on national TV recently.
The statement is incorrect.

Drove down to pay my respects to Don. After I parked I realised that I was not as familiar with the part of the city as I thought. But all I had to do was follow the crowd. Unbelievable turnout for an unbelievably great fella.

Beirut, 1970. The interviewer
was Richard Carleton. 2 years later Israel planted a bomb in Kanafani's car, killing him and his 17-year-old niece Lamees

Constantly whelmed @architectgp.bsky.social · 2d

Amazing. Does anyone know what year this was? There’s mention of ‘20 years’, so maybe the late 60s?

The shameful part is that Palestinians were always telling the world what's happening & were always getting killed by Zionists. But those deaths were not enough. It took a full blown genocide for most westerners to come around...and even now some people have the audacity to say "it's complicated"
