It sometimes seems like a huge task to explain what’s being done to trans people to casual observers who don’t pay much attention to it, but Séamas does a great job here of plainly and succinctly explaining why you should be appalled

One year ago today Aaron Bushnell self-immolated outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. protesting against "what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers" He was only 25.

““Housing is a top priority” is now the Irish equivalent to when Republican senators offer “thoughts and prayers” after a preventable mass shooting. So lacking in genuineness and substance it gives Keir Starmer a run for his money.” ~Aoife Moore The Irish News ☕️🥐

A vote for Aontú is a vote for Fianna Fáil. A vote for Aontú is a vote to strip abortion rights & bodily autonomy. Vote for PBP, the only ones ruling out coalition with FF&FG, then transfer left. Don't be duped by Aontú & other right-wingers who want to roll back hard-won rights. #ge24 #SpéirGhorm

This shouldn't be drowned out by the poll. This is why the far right can never be treated as part of normal politics. They, at core, want to inflict violence on others. They are the real threat to civil society. Solidarity with Kellie and her team.

It's more important than ever to vote Pro Choice. We've compiled a list of all candidates running across the country and their stance on reproductive rights. We encourage you, now and always, to vote pro choice. tinyurl.com/nmkre7pz #VoteProChoiceGE24
Against a powder blue background, there are two blocks of text. The text reads: "Vote like your LOVED ONE'S RIGHTS depend on it. Vote like your LOVED ONE'S LIFE depends on it" LOVED ONE'S Rights and LOVED ONE'S Life are both written in red, with the rest in a dark brown. Beneath in smaller print it says "Vote for Pro-Choice Candidates this General Election #VoteProChoiceGE24

Just a quick reminder of FG/FF TD’s who voted against Ireland having a referendum on the 8th. Just in case they are running in your area or you want something else to ask them about if they call at your door. #GE24
Newspaper clip with following text; Just two Fine Gael TDs voted against the Bill, Peter Fitzpatrick and Seán Barrett. However, there was surprise around Leinster House at the number of Fianna Fáil TDs who voted against. They were; Bobby Aylward, Declan Breathnach, Mary Butler, Jackie Cahill, Pat Casey, Shane Cassells, Jack Chambers, John Curran, Pat 'The Cope' Gallagher, Seán Haughey, Marc MacSharry, John McGuinness, Aindrias Moynihan, Margaret Murphy O'Mahony, Eugene Murphy, Kevin O'Keeffe, Frank O'Rourke, Éamon Ó Cuív, Eamon Scanlon, Brendan Smith and Niamh Smyth.

someone accidentally started a silent reading club and I truly believe this could heal our country
from reddit: “So, here's a funny little story about how I unintentionally created a new social group in my town. A few weeks ago, I was at my favorite coffee shop, deeply engrossed in a novel. An older gentleman approached me and asked what I was reading. We had a brief but lovely chat about books. The next week, I was there again with a different book. The same man showed up, this time with his own book. We nodded, smiled, and went back to our reading. Week three: I arrive to find the man already there. He's brought a friend. They're both reading silently. I join them at their table, and we all read in comfortable silence for an hour. Fast forward to yesterday. I walk into the coffee shop, and there are TWELVE people scattered around, all silently reading books...”
