These disgraceful old codgers still belting out sectarian lines is one thing. The enthusiasm of the young crowd singing ‘Up the ‘Ra’ is incredibly depressing.

Days after the ‘ceasefire’ between Israel and Hamas, and thousands of Palestinians across the West Bank and Israel are going to be arrested for protesting against apartheid. The ceasefire, just like the decades-old promise of a two-state solution, is a myth and an attempt 1/2

Right now Israeli forces are rounding up Palestinians en masse as part of what Israeli police are calling “Operation Law & Order”, following two weeks of Palestinian uprisings over Israeli aggressions in Jerusalem, Sheikh Jarrah, and Gaza.

The guards testing their austerity protest control measures on drunk people in town is cringe. Are you not embarrassed. Using the outdoor summer public as a training ground for political oppression is cringe bro

Fully agree with @UCDSU . Student accommodation must be for students. Students raised this with @DarraghOBrienTD & myself & Darragh issued a circular to ensure this. Lots of work underway & needed to make improvements. Dismissive & sarcastic comments don’t help

My brother is in 6th year, he’s incredibly stressed about school & possibly not getting into college after working so hard for so long. Meanwhile teachers & their unions are being demonised by the media for refusing to put lives at risk. The LC can’t go ahead @NormaFoleyTD1

Widespread mental distress is the reality for many young people at this time. In no small measure is this the result of state policy. Stop the cruelty! Scrap the exams which is causing feelings of dread & depression! #canceltheleavingcert2021 #noforcedLC #NoSchoolUntilSafeSchool

The IDF is trying to blame Hamas for the hospital bombing. Watch this video and listen to the airstrike whistling. Look at the size of the explosion. This was an IDF airstrike.

The protest could not have been more obviously racist and fascist. National party, Irish freedom party, Jim Ferguson of Nigel Farage’s party, Síol na hEireann, Ireland First organised that protest, and they are ALL fascists in every sense of the word.

Many people who now rely on the covid payment have family (including children) in other countries. I spoke to a Debenhams worker who can’t visit her kids for fear that she’ll lose her family’s only source of income. Meanwhile Ireland still a corporate tax haven for billionaires

The dominant view of property in Ireland is that it’s an “investment”, that the only way you can value it is in terms of its market value. This is the way vulture funds see housing, the way property developers and speculative investors and FG/FF/Greens/Labour see it.

what a fucking awful, bad-faith take. Saturday’s protest was organised by fascists. Deflecting blame to Sinn Féin is not just a feat of mental gymnastics, but an attempt to undermine their legitimacy as an opposition party. Meanwhile the far-right continues to mobilise support.

Well done to the workers at Dublin bus for rejecting this! Dublin bus is treated solely as a business by the state, with plans to outsource its services to fully private companies already underway. This is an essential public service + it needs to be treated as such

While people are losing their minds over a map (which btw I first saw when a man from the West Bank showed it to me), the Israeli lobby here is probably watching on with glee - watching a historically strong Palestine solidarity movement tear itself apart. 2/

The emerging fascist mvnt in Ireland has a few faces: one is the groups that have ties to fascists in the north, Britain, US & elsewhere. Another is the Youth Defence crowd - religious fundamentalists & anti-choice activists, who’ve only recently turned to anti-immigration bc

So it turns out that a GRIFT director's mother-in-law is the spokesperson for the vigilantes in Dromahair. Bernie O'Hara is Ide O'Hara's mother in law. Ide is the sister of Niamh Uí Bhriain (nee Nic Mhathuna) - main spokesperson for The Life Institute/Youth Defence.
