This was a really splendid conversation, this Flash segment notwithstanding. Would really recommend for anyone trying to imagine what a response to this political moment could look like in Ireland.

Jenny Maguire: Why the left needs to park ‘woke’ and focus on housing and the cost of a weekly shop
Sequels get a bad reputation. Wicked: For Good was like a Guinness in an English pub. I guess it’s the same, but where’s the heart, and why is everyone no craic?

I wish journalists would stop treating MHR like some funny, contrarian opposition backbencher from the bogs. He is a minister of state and one of the wealthiest and most unscrupulous self serving TDs in the dail. It's just a hat and an accent!!! Look past it please!!!

The 1998 OG Dyke March Dublin banner during the speeches. @moobstreperous.bsky.social holds one end, @jennymaguire.bsky.social holds the other. Jenny is a trans student leader, prominent in Palestinian solidarity protests in Trinity College. More in alt text.
Jenny's t-shirt says STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST GAYS & WOMEN - the slogan that led the 1983 Fairview Park March, sometimes described as "Ireland's Stonewall." That march protested the freeing of a group of young men who murdered a young gay man, Declan Flynn, in a cruising area in a public park in 1982. In the crowd behind Jenny & Mo, somebody holds a placard that says "Dykes for a free Palestine."

I interrupted Simon Harris’ address to the Defending Freedoms conference in Dublin Castle. The minister raised the work done by Ireland for LGBT people, then I asked “what about the queer people in Gaza we facilitate the murder through Shannon Airport”

When “order” stands at the heart of policy making decisions, our lives and spaces become compartmentalised. Anyone want to do otherwise is then criminalised. In today’s Independent.
