So in his 2nd term Trump has attacked Venezuela Ecuador, Syria, Nigeria, Somalia, Iraq, Yemen and now Iran. Not forgetting the boats in the Caribbean. You are also planning to attack Cuba next. Loving the FIFA Peace Prize, Gianni Infantino is clearly an arse licking buffoon.

I will now vote for any party, whoever they are, that opposes this government (except the fas obviously). Anyone. After the next election if my Party attempts to go into government with them I will hand my membership card back. They are activity trying to lose my vote now.

Americans need to learn the history of Captain Boycott They should boycott any business dealing with ICE, also refuse to serve people owning or working for said business. And of course members of ICE and their families should be shunned and boycotted also...total boycott Learn from Irish history

One has to ask, and I do this really hoping the answer in no, if the reason the Gardaí go "soft" on the racists and fash is that many in the force have a similar outlook? Because if any other section of our society behaved like this then I know what the resulting Garda action would be.

The UK is heading full steam ahead to having a fascist as the next PM. Starmer is useless, by design, and British Labour have a fox running the hen house. The sooner he is booted the better. So sad to see UK Labour descend to this. I cannot understand why they cannot see where this is leading to.

The British Labour Party is no longer a left party. It is no longer a centre left party or even a centre party. It is not even a centre right party. It is clearly a right wing party slightly to the left of the Conservatives. IMHO my party @labourpartyireland.bsky.social should cut ties with them.

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu Maybe we in the EU should just be honest and request the annihilation of the Gaza population and annexation of the West Bank. As these are the natural consequences of policies you seem to support. Be honest and own it. Oh, you shame me, as a European btw

Von der Leyen is a disgrace and should be, along with her band of Quislings, shown the door. She makes me ashamed to be pro EU. And this is very sad for me. To be honest this was clear with her support of the genocide but is clear to even those who support that war crime now also

So the leadership of the EU @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu and @kajakallas.bsky.social are starting the process of turning this staunch supporter of prior EU values into an opponent of what they espouse are now EU values. ie supporting genocide and war crimes. Count me out.
