Here’s a clip that is well worth your time today over a coffee. It’s always good to introduce some historical context to Trump’s lunacy.

Thanks to The Americans for the clip

@tea_in_carolina Hi Carol, Great to hear from you. I hope everything is well with you and your family. I didn't have a problem accessing the blog when I tried - https://t.co/SmUZmhX6NZ
I haven't written anything for a long time, unfortunately, but I'm glad to hear you were looking it up :)

I wonder why our National Press Club cancelled his appearance 🤔

Palestinian-British ER doctor Dr. Muhammad Mustafa, who has treated patients in Gaza since October 7, warns of a catastrophic health crisis: “A million children are being starved to death… a quarter of the population is in stage 5 famine, where four of every 10,000 children die each day.” At this stage, food alone isn’t enough – without doctors, medicine, and infrastructure, people die from refeeding syndrome and untreated wounds, he tells Breaking Points. He’s been pressing politicians from Ireland, Australia, and the UK to confront this reality and support urgent medical relief.

At this point, you are either pro-humanity or pro-genocide, there is no in-between.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I have no words anymore.

States. Must. Intervene.

This isn’t genius, it’s leadership.

1. Impose an arms embargo and cut trade.
2. Break the blockade with your humanitarian navies.
3. Send a protective presence to Palestine to ensure Israel dismantles its occupation NOW.

The @gbsumudflotilla sets sail tomorrow with a strong Irish contingent 🇮🇪 It also includes a legal suppprt boat filled with human rights lawyers from Ireland, South Africa, Canada & Britain. The boat is named after eminent 🇵🇸 journalist, Shireen Abu Ahkleh who was assassinated by the occupation. Wish us well. Humanity united 💚

Writing GENOCIDE and ISRAEL in the same tweet triggers some kind of silencing mechanism in the algorithm, and the post gets throttled.

So let's try and break Elons algorithm today...

ISRAEL IS COMMITTING A GENOCIDE IN GAZA.

If you see this & agree, like it and retweet it.

@jconnollybooks Her Indoors might pass those canned goods very close to your head if you're not careful

@jconnollybooks Well, with a name like 'Ham', what would you expect!

@AnnLavan @philipnolan1 @joancooke5 @mtully21 @nialloloughlin Brilliant! Will you come over here and do the ironing when you're fit enough.

@philipnolan1 Great news, Philip

[David Lawlor @LawlorDavid]

Very sad to hear about the death of Capuchin friar, Fr Kevin Crowley. He was a truly inspirational man who did all in his power to help people in need. A gentle, kind and modest man, he was the personification of Selflessness. Rest in peace.
