At the match between Ireland & Israel that Irish Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu boycotted in solidarity with Palestine, supporters of Israel chanted "IDF" & heckled Ireland players during warm-ups. @edgeofsports.bsky.social & I wrote about it for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Imagine sitting on a bench in a park in Blackpool, England, just minding your own business. Two men walk up to you and demand you move along. They claim 'women & kids are scared of immigrants'. The young man who at first doesn't understand what they're saying, is shocked to think they mean him.

The residents of Garvaghy Road and their supporters spent another day in high spirits today. With plenty of food and hot drinks and of course some amazing live music. They settle in for another night of peaceful dissent. Fair play to them all, they're legends ✊

RIP my Mam, Margaret O'Rourke (nee Perkins) who passed away peacefully today, wrapped in the love of her family & many friends. Mam was a pioneer - the 1st woman journalist on any provincial newspaper in Ireland. She was active & engaged in her community right up to the very end. RIP Mammy Kamikaze
Picture taken 2 weeks ago of my Mam, a very youthful looking woman approaching her 91st birthday. She is smiling at the camera & wearing grey plaid pants, a lilac cardigan & blue t-shirt with floral pattern. On the wall behind is a picture of her with her sister Dorothy, her lifelong best friend, who died 7 years ago.

Danny Tommo slashes a RNLI rescue dinghy with a volunteer onboard who was completing final checks on the boat. This was in the English Channel this evening. I don't know anything about maritime law, but surely that's still criminal damage and unlawful use of a knife. I hope he gets done for this.

For many, this is simply an accurate reflection of how things work in Ireland. We have a consistent agri policy that favours the most industrialised, richest farmers, but absolutely NOT the majority of farmers, rural communities, nature, the climate, or the wider society that pays for it all.
