“There is a question that hovers over Irish politics: what will the parties of power do when they start to panic about losing it? Last week, after their joint debacle in the presidential election, we got the grim answer: turn on immigrants.” - @fotoole.bsky.social

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

You should care about the wellbeing of people outside of your immediate family, and make decisions and take actions accordingly.

I get the instinct to “focus on the good things”, but that’s 2010s shit. If now is not the time to find your nearest protest, bring your friends and family, and build a movement, then all hope for the future is gone. Scroll cat videos on TikTok until you burn in a global thermonuclear war I guess.

A story in two parts. Gript is the propaganda wing of violent right wing politics. They exist to try and push politics rightwards and pull back hard-won rights. They target and try to redirect people's righteous anger at government policy onto migrants, asylum seekers, and LGBTQ people. #Gript

Is someone already backing up #LitCovid and the papers it points to or are we in serious trouble?

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Yep. Living in Berlin I was constantly struck by the ability of Germans to acknowledge the horrors of the Holocaust and in the next breath declare genocidal racism against Muslims.
the conviction among Germans that “they had left the rabid racism of their forebears far behind them may have paradoxically allowed for the unabashed expression of different forms of racism”. This partly accounts for the extraordinary callousness, bordering on racial contempt, in Germany over the fate of Palestinians.

@coverville.com wanted to check with you before giving you an impossible cover request - have you ever come across music that mixes bluegrass and ska? There are some synergies there I think

Today is the first day I can properly campaign—had to give 2 weeks notice for time off I got leeway to attend some events during the day but a short election campaign on the government's chosen dste excludes workers and benefits the status quo There's a reason the Dáil of full of landlords #GE24

#ge24 has anyone done a freedom of information request for the nomination forms received by returning officers that were rejected?

This website is, honest to god, a critical piece of infrastructure in Irish democracy: irishro.com - it hosts the nomination form for the general election. When this is all over I'll have to go looking for who got the contract.

I’m sick of hearing about hope and love and vague terms of resistance like “don’t let them walk over you.” Traditional methods of political resistance are over. They control literally everything. If you’re not talking about organized, illegal, and possibly violent action, you’re kidding yourself.

It's getting harder to take pictures in the evenings. Good thing we're getting out during the day too! The election is officially coming - only 22 days until we get the chance to give FF&FG the boot. #KickOutFFFG #GE24 #VotePBP

@paulmurphytd.bsky.social hey, party member here - wondering what the biggest gaps are with SD, and what the prospects of a left pact with them are in advance of the election? Also, I’m a programmer with web & data experience - would love to volunteer to help with any of that if there’s a need.
