Always amazed that the ones who tried to convince us tha their position on abortion is not based on religion, are always the one commenting on religious issues. Looking at you Wendy Grace

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child. It's a genocide.

Thinking of Ann Lovett today, ##otd 1984, 15yrs old & pregnant, she went to the grotto in Granard where she gave birth to a still born baby boy, she was found sometime later but died shortly after of hypothermia & blood loss. Her story shocked the country #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...

Every time you see a story in the media announcing that puberty blockers are banned, it's untrue. They've just been banned for trans kids. Cis kids who are in distress because of precocious puberty still get them. Trans kids who in distress, don't. People, generally, don't know that.

When we lived in London you'd see often see crowds with flags outside embassies, community centres etc- Moldovans, Romanians, French etc - they were voting in their national elections. The Irish abroad - often for the v reasons they had to leave - should have the vote #ge24

Your rights at work were not 'given to you'. Workers fought long & hard to protect your jobs, your wages, your safety. They fought for sick leave, gender equality, against discrimination. They won because workers hold all the power. But only if they know how to use it #JoinAUnion

Agreed, but I think it's wrong to put the blame for this on one off housing which only uses the low voltage elctricity network. Uniquely in Europe, Ireland has the vast majority of its medium and high voltage network (linking towns and cities) above ground

Mexico has refused to let US military deportation flights use its airspace. Colombia and Guatamala have refused to allow (at least some flights so far) to land. But Ireland continues to allow US military flights to refuel in Shannon. #WTF

#StormEowyn If you want to keep track of the storm as it flies towards us. I always use this site to track its location and wind speeds. earth.nullschool.net#current/wind...

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

A screenshot of the Die Zeit website. It is a photo of Musk in black and white doing the Hitler “seig heil” salute - but the actual salute is blocked out by blue material on the left hand side of the photo. The headline is underneath.

Today in 1912 Scott got to the South Pole....Just one month after Amundsen had beat him to it. Amundsen had left a tent with a Norwegian flag flying above & inside, a letter for the Norwegian king with a covering note asking Scott to post it. Cold. Literally.

So trans-border SF are willing to go with the DUP on this very particular issue for unspecified reasons people are not entitled to know while cis-border SF wonder why they might be accused of being unprincipled.
