We have multiple Government parties submitting motions of no confidence against their Ministerial colleagues in the NI Executive, and calling for each others' arrest, or resignation. Dysfunctional doesn't even cover it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the pilot had been aiming to land the plane in Iran, and have the passengers and crew taken as hostages. I also smell a stunt.

Remember their faces, the Quinn brothers Jason (aged nine), Mark (aged 10), and Richard (aged 11), who when Garvaghy last exploded in July 1998, were murdered in their beds by Loyalist petrol bombs. A fragile peace bought with the blood of children, now being ripped apart.

Not one single person is going to be made better off in this place by what is happening in Drumcree today. Prices are still rising, as is poverty, mental health. The health system has collapsed, our water infrastructure is falling apart, and our largest source of fresh water is contaminated.

It's also been completely ignored by the mainstream media that the British and Irish Governments are co-guarantors of the Belfast Agreement. It is an international treaty, not something that was cooked up in someone's kitchen in the fucking New Lodge one day.

Honestly this is so fucking bad. I don't think the outside world or even the British Government understand quite how dangerous this is. The First Minister is amongst those protesting.

Leader of the DUP calling for the leader of Sinn Fein, and the First Minister, to be arrested. What a wonderful, functioning democracy we have. It's ironic that the peace process was galvanised by Drumcree in 1998, and now appears to meet its end there, too.

If the PSNI rush the protesters in Drumcree then Sunn Fein will withdraw their support for devolved policing and that's the whole house of cards gone. And Bryson gets exactly what he wants. Chaos.

Latest news at Garvaghy Road is very hopeful. It appears the PSNI have told the Orange Order they won't be able to march because of the size of the protest. It's not clear if there will be an attempt later or not. Residents are continuing to protest. People power in action.

I understand that the Music Room in Belfast owe staff and performers quite a bit of money. My cousin, a DJ, worked there previously and it took him *months* to be paid. Other staff have been blocked on all social media, emails ignored and calls not answered or their numbers blocked.

Middle East: Due to tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation.
Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise heightened vigilance and be aware of potential flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions. Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including civilian airports. This military conflict has the potential to escalate rapidly. Americans outside the Middle East should seriously reconsider travel to and through the region.
Those who do travel to or from the region should monitor information about airport and airline operations. U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Iran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world, including U.S. businesses and other institutions.

The DUP never learn. Still cosying up to right wing English Nationalists who'd sell NI for a bag of toffees at the first chance to offload us. I'm not sure Rupert Lowe could point to the Garvaghy Road on a map of the Garvaghy Road.

There has been a noticeable lack of serious reaction over Turkish persecution of LGBTQIA+ community from the global community. As in many other countries, Türkiye tries to mask persecution by claiming being LGBTQIA+ isn't illegal and then using "obscenity laws". www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Don't really think Ireland as a whole deserves a pat on the back for the work of some artists, activists, and the people who pressure and protest, when our government watered down the OTB, the GAA refuses to drop Israeli weapon insurer Allianz, and the FAI is happy to play Israel without Irish fans

There is no choice to be made when it comes to taking a stand against genocide. It's not something to be debated, or considered, or argued about. Children's bodies are rotting, in pieces, under the rubble of kindergartens and hospitals. If that's not something that makes you sick then you're evil.

I support and advocate loudly for a Free Palestine, as a Protestant, raised as a Unionist in a Loyalist community who is now an Irish Republican. It is not a betrayal of my family or my roots to advocate against the slaughter of unarmed and innocent people under a brutal terrorist regime.
