I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

Micheál Martin's government is a neoliberal extremist project that attacks workers and migrants and logistically supports U.S. and Israeli wars of aggression, ignoring the wishes of his own people. Do better, @mayor.nyc.gov.

Always funny when people get pissy about, of all things, *work to rule*. They are still doing their jobs, to the letter of the law in fact. That is causing problems is a serious indictment of how much extra people are expected to do in their job.

So much profit, and yet so few houses. The Government’s entire housing strategy -insofar as they have one- is to make it so profitable to own residential property that companies will want to make more of the property instead of making more profit from sweating their existing assets.

Many of the every day necessities that apartheid Israel blocks from entry to Gaza. Among them are sanitary pads, wheelchairs, nappies, water pumps, books, surgical instruments, crayons. Reminder that before October 2023 many of these items were also blocked under Israel's illegal siege.

Talking to people in football recently, and most say a single nation boycotting Israel would have little effect - then when I ask "what about Macklemore and the Ed Sheeran situation?", there's a squirmy silence. What Ireland says does not matter one jot; it's what we do that counts. #stopthegame

What about the cost of NOT investing in public transports? Air quality, missed climate targets, traffic congestion - there’s more to public transport that ticket sales. It doesn’t make sense to treat it as an enterprise that needs to break even.

In Tasmania, as a cost of living measure during the fule crisis, the Government has made all public transport free until 1 July 2027. Government is not meant to make a profit. It's meant to serve the needs of the people. That's why it's called the public sector - distinct from the privte sector.
