Waiting in St. Vincent's hospital and watching the wonderful workers, porters, nurses, and doctors going about their business. At least half of them from other countries.
How would we ever cope if the racists had their way and 'closed our borders?'

I wear mine with pride and solidarity for the Palestinian people every day. I've worn the black and white one for over 10 years. Now I have my colourful one straight from Gaza. 🇵🇸

Happy birthday to Vincent Browne. Wishing him a wonderful day and many, many more to come. 🎂 🥂 🍻 We sure could use him and his true journalism these days.
Yesterday's peaceful protest at the Dail is being deliberately overshadowed by 'Faux outrage' over a piece of altered art. Let's keep our focus on the thousands of impending evictions.
@ClementsAustinJ
Some say we shouldn't laugh but I love it. My then 2yo, who we thought was sleeping, as we and others watched the movie Fargo, lifts her head from the pillow and says loudly, "No YOU shut the fck up!" Of course, I got the blame 🤣
Yeah, real Irish patriots. Are they running under the banner of British soldier, wife beater, dog kicker, drug dealer, creche creeper, and Gob💩💩? Or will they be honest and admit to being 🪴 🪴 and 🐀 🐀?
Former British soldier and Alex Jones fanboy Rowan Croft announced, on a livestream by creche creeper Philip Dwyer in Coolock yesterday, that he intends to run in the local elections in the Artane area.

A beautiful tribute to the beautiful and empathetic Choctaw Nation, who reached across the ocean to help people they didn't know or would ever meet. Humanity at its best 💕

At 6 years old, the day before my first commuion, a nun so brutally beat my hands with a ruler that I couldn't get my little lace gloves over my swollen fingers the next morning. I'm sorry that happened to your sister.
A Garda, young enough to be my son, kneed me in the groin and threw me to the ground, in order to facilitate meter installation outside my home. Surprisingly, the installers retreated out of disgust. Still no meter outside my house.
Reminder that a few years ago, grannies were getting arrested at their gates for peacefully protesting against water meters. Peaceful water protesters were not allowed to set foot in Kildare St. Kildare St looked like this.

He is being arrested for defying a court order to stay away from the school and for intimidating the female principal. Absolutely nothing to do with the child, who wasn't even in Burke's class.

This is what happens when electrical grids are deregulated, as in Texas, privatized and removed from interconnected networks, all to avoid Federal Regulation and to increase profits for a small group of already obscenely rich individuals.

Those of us who were part of the massive SUCCESSFUL movement in Ireland against the implementation of a third charge for our water soon learned to isolate the disruptors. They try to turn peaceful marches violent so the cops can wade in.

I'm of a generation that remembers girls 'vanishing' for a few months then returning like sad shells of their former selves. Surely as a country we've moved past those days of shaming and punishing women.

My daughter sat on the floor at the pound and started to cry because the dogs looked so pathetic. One little Whippet came to her and licked her tears away. 5 years later, she's the light of our lives.
If you put money in the pockets of the rich, they save it,.
If you put money in the pockets of the poor, they spend it.
Boosting people's income isn't just the right thing for them - it's the right thing for the economy, too.
I'm dizzy from shaking my head.
Some of the 'house our own' and 'Irish first' 'Independents' who are running for LE24 pontificating about issues WAY out of the realm of county councils.
Do these people have any idea about politics and bureaucracy?
🍿 time.

@RexChapman
Yup. Some older teenagers stole my small children's plastic slide out from under them. I vaulted over the patio rail, barreled into the two who were dragging the slide and took them both down, all before my husband got off the couch.
My daughter loaned me €100 last week to pay for a tooth to be filled. No Dentists in our town are taking Medical Card patients. I worked and contributed for over 40 years for this!
@DonnellyStephen
Our Health Service is collapsing.
No one in Government cares.
“During the same time, Wicklow has seen a fall of 72pc in dentists participating, while the exit has reached 54pc in Laois and Offaly, 52pc in Kerry, 51pc in Wexford, 45pc in Meath and 43pc in Sligo and Leitrim.”
The Cornerstone Church Bray this evening protesting the hosting of Barbara O'Neill, 'nurse/doctor', none of which she is, according to the HCCC Australia where she's from. On Sep. 24th, 2019, she was banned indefinitely from lecturing there.

Poor thing. They got what they deserved. Ban ALL animal 'sports' and, in the meantime, boycott places that indulge in this barbaric cruelty.
Two and a half years on, and I'm again blocking hate filled racists who are still cheering over George Nkencho being shot dead while having a mental health crisis. SMFH.
As was so rightly said at today's massive counter to Posie Parker, Glinner, Dog Kicker and assorted nazis, 'We on the side of Trans rights showed loud and clear that this is how communities come together for each other.' A wonderful day. 💝
Our bodies. Our lives. Our right to decide.
It was amazing to be surrounded by so many women and young people, shouting our right to bodily autonomy at a crowd comprised of the far right, rosary bead bashers and the Catholic Church ✊
Hail, rain, or storm, we're heading out at 1 pm. today for our National Day of Action to highlight the scandal of boarded up homes while this manufactured housing crisis rages.

@RadioBrendanRTE
Most Holocaust survivors abhor their past suffering being used by Zionists. They also denounce the Israeli regime of terror and the genocide being perpetrated against the Palestinian people.
Great memory, and thank you
@olivercallan
. Some of us paid a hefty price for standing against the installation of O'Brien's water meters, but we didn't pay a THIRD time for OUR water. ✊️
RTE still blaming hospital appointments, surgeries etc on our nurse's and midwives strike. Despicable and no one is falling for it.

Thank you, as this has been my experience when I participate in Palestinian rallies. A mixture of horror, sadness, determination, and hope.

I'm in hospital at the minute, having blood drawn by a sweet, gentle nurse. She's from India and a wonderful contribution to our health care service. ❤️
@phughes76340646
Prayer time at a mosque. Who'd have thought it? 🤡 Now, do a Catholic and protestant church on a Sunday. Or even, dare I say it, a synagogue?
Don't be led astray by prejudice and misinformation.
There are legitimate issues affecting us, but stay focused on the truth and don’t blame other vulnerable people for the actions of our sell-out government.
Blaming immigrants serves the government.

If I've to stand for a half hour, I'll wait for a cashier. If there are no cashiers, I leave. I refuse to do self check out, anywhere.
Can't get warm today so I'm going to stand under a hot shower and think about how lucky I am to be able to do that. No one should be homeless. We need a massive protest sooner rather than later.
