Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign @ipsc.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
Don't worry Palestinians, the Irish government is *focused* on the situation and won't forget the West Bank and Gaza. They won't do anything material to stop apartheid Israel from committing ethnic cleansing and genocide but they *remain focused*. Endless empty words. #SanctionsNow

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

This footage from another boat shows the moment the #GlobalSumudFlotilla Family boat was hit from above. This is a terrorist attack by Israel on a humanitarian mission in Tunisian territory.

I've become increasingly skeptical of rights discourse from a realist perspective, not because I don't like what these juridical fictions claim to confer, but because they manifestly don't actually do that and stuff like this lets people think something meaningful is happening when it's not

BDS movement @bdsmovement.bsky.social · 09/07/2025
Today, the BDS movement — led by the largest Palestinian coalition ever — turns 20. In the midst of Israel’s livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, we are too grieved and too enraged to celebrate the phenomenal impact of BDS. #BDS20

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Séamas O’Reilly: Ballymena violence is the result of politics based on scapegoating any ‘other’
"The central perversity of treating these people as anything other than racist thugs is only more transparent in Ballymena because they have so few migrants that any other excuse is patently absurd."

What we see from Gaza to LA is the same process. A state that is confident that it can label anyone who opposes its authority as terrorists or criminals in order to guarantee impunity for its violence. It is necessary to resist both its actions and its rhetoric.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

misinformation is a very real issue, the problem was it was folded into a power-flattering pseudo epistemology where only grimy foreigners and YouTubers were capable of doing it when some of the biggest promoters of misinformation are the NYT and Atlantic. This bred cynicism and indifference.

when i was a few minutes younger i thought it was 9:33 a.m. eastern time. and maybe at one point, that was the case. but part of growing older is finding enough humility to let go of some of the things you once held as true

the system preceding race and gender integrated education and DEI was not even facially "meritocratic" - elite higher ed served as finishing schools for rich failsons, half of admissions criteria were invented to keep out Jews. the naked cronyism is the America they wanted to return to "greatness"
