It's beyond shameful that Cork City Council named a bridge after fascist Seamus Murphy 🤮 Never been as ashamed of my city 😢 Of course government councillors from @fiannafailparty.bsky.social and Fine Gael voted for it, as enablers of genocide I would not expect anything less.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin will tug the forelock to a man accused of war crimes, rape, fascism & paedophilia. Terence McSwiney said “in matters of principle there can be no tactics, there is one straight forward course to follow.” Now is a time that the world needs principled leaders. Not appeasers.

The Washington Post reports that Donald Trump withheld support for María Corina Machado because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump’s explanation, per the report: “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today.”

Workers united are unstoppable. The trade union movement has proved this over and over again. On Palestine their hands are tied by restrictive legislation. Or are they? Join us Saturday, Grand Parade at 1pm. Hear how unionised workers can once again change the world. #gaza #palestine #tradeunions

US policy no longer pretends to follow international law, or uphold human rights. All pretences are gone. Along with the EU and the UK it brazenly imposes a brutal imperialist, colonialist, boot on the neck of all those it can profit from. #gaza #palestine #freefreepalestine

Gaza is starving, Gaza is dying. Men, women and children, our sisters and brothers, are gripped by a horrific famine. Now there is nothing. Nothing to eat, nowhere to hide from Israeli plans of concentration camps and annihilation. Make your voice heard. Grand Parade, 1pm Saturday 26th

Cork really living up to its rebel name with three protest marches happening this Saturday. First a march against Gender Based Violence at 12pm, which will lead into the weekly Cork Palestine Solidarity Campaign march 1pm followed by parents demanding school placements for their kids ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Poster for International Women's Day march against gender based violence for Dublin and Limerick at 1pm, and Cork at 12pm.

A white dove is superimposed by the outlines of two hands each in the colours of Clare and Cork counties.

Musicians shouldn't have gigs cancelled for expressing solidarity. Performers shouldn't lose income protesting apartheid and genocide. Illustrators shouldn't lose their lives for painting the truth. Arts venues shouldn't block fundraisers. From Gaza to Cork, artists resist Zionist occupation!

UNRWA aid in Gaza is getting hijacked by armed gangs and resold at massively inflated prices. According to Palestinian journalist in Gaza Abubaker Abed, the gangs are armed by Israel. Aid trucks used to have armed guards to prevent this but the IDF killed them, claiming they were “Hamas militants”.

Tweet from UNRWA:
A joint 109-truck @UN convoy carrying food supplies to people in #Gaza was violently looted on 16 November. The vast majority of the trucks, 97 in total, were lost and drivers were forced at gunpoint to unload aid.
Due to critical shortages of flour, all eight UNsupported bakeries in Deir al Balah and Khan Younis have been operating at diminished capacity for weeks. Many have been forced to shut down entirely.
Without immediate intervention, severe food shortages are set to worsen, further endangering the lives of over 2 million people who depend on humanitarian aid to survive.

Tweet from UNRWA, continued:
The Israeli authorities continue to disregard their legal obligations under international law to ensure the population's basic needs are met and to facilitate the safe delivery of aid. Such responsibilities continue when trucks enter the #GazaStrip, until people are reached with essential assistance.

Tweet from Abubaker Abed:
But say it, UNRWA, who looted the aid?
Isn't it gangs and militias armed by Israel? It's easy, just say it.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”
