A pinch me moment !
An incredible experience yesterday being part of the @TechFoundHer program at @KPMG with 35 amazing female entrepreneurs throughout Ireland.
Fantastic meeting everyone for the first time. Looking forward to the next one in Belfast.

Powerful night in Derry standing with women in our city who deserve to live free from the threat or fear of violence.
Thanks to all the organisers and particularly our @Derry_SDLP councillor Catherine McDaid.
Look what I’m holding!! 💥 Can’t wait to launch Rebel Women into the world - first occasion will be 1 o’clock Saturday 16th - next week - at Culturlann, Belfast. Short notice but hope some of you can make it. Pls resend.
A joint Dispatches and @DailyMirror investigation reveals that many private properties owned by the Duchy of Cornwall have the worst energy efficiency rating possible, with some tenants claiming they’re being seriously let down by their landlord - Prince William.
💥 How embarrassing, I bet #PrinceWilliam is absolutely furious this has been leaked, right through the middle of his "end homelessness" PR stunt!
PS, repost if you agree that #ThatFamily must go!

Dispatches can reveal how King Charles and Prince William are making millions from the taxpayer.
In a joint investigation with @thetimes we have uncovered lucrative deals with the armed forces, schools and even the NHS.
I was honored to join VP Harris in Ripon, WI, the birthplace of the Republican Party. Here are my full remarks explaining why I believe it is essential to vote for @KamalaHarris to protect our freedom and our Constitutional system.
Cóisir Oíche Shamhna @BelfastTuras. Songs in Irish from the Cleamairí Feirste and a beautiful song in Scots from Jackie Jeffries. Oíche den scoth a bhí ann.
NEVER EVER have I ever seen anything like this before and I have covered many many disasters. With brooms, buckets, food and water in hand, the Valencian community go and help their neighbours ♥️♥️♥️
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H
The Taliban has banned women from speaking to one another. Khalid Hanafi, Taliban’s minister for virtue and vice, declared it forbidden for adult women to let their voices be heard by other women, further restricting existing bans on speaking and showing their faces in public.
