The video footage of what happened to Yves Sakila is shocking. Those responsible for the excessive force must be held to account. And politicians have to understand that negative comments about Africans create an environment where this is more likely to happen. www.rte.ie/news/2026/05...

This morning a student in DCU was arrested for protesting in support of Palestine with no clear charge. As @dondeniamh.bsky.social outlines here, we are witnessing a systematic erosion of the democratic process and the rule of law that needs to be resisted. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Who does this government serve? Protest crackdowns and neutrality debates spark outrage

A speaking rights row, moves away from neutrality, and garda action against anti-war protesters are all signs of a worrying trend for democracy
