'Whatever women wear, wherever they go, indeed whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no' says Judge Bennathan in the sentencing of Russell Brand.

Even though this should be common sense, it feels so moving to hear it said today

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.

You want to know what insults Jesus?

Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.

Irish Olympian and European champion runner Ciara Mageean has died aged 34 https://t.co/YbVtj5S3sw

[Conor O'Neill @conoro]

This is how we'll remember Ciara. Never ever ever gave up.

[Thomas Niblock @thomasniblock]

Ciara Mageean died this morning. A light has gone out in the world. Authentic, talented, decent. Her kindness and wonderful personality was a joy to watch and see. Then came her iconic sporting achievements.

When we sat down with Ciara for the GAA Social in July, she received disappointing news the day before. Ciara didn’t want to cancel, so we recorded on the Tuesday. It’s 90 minutes Oisin & myself will always treasure. She was the best of us.

To Thomas, I’m so sorry. She was mad about you. To the Mageean family, all her great friends and the Portaferry community- what a stunning human being, to call one of your own. This is so unfair.

I’ve never met a person who met Ciara, who didn’t love her. A one off.

Bash and Romesh's choice of charities as winners has really annoyed some people. Oh dear. Anyway.

For me, Europe began in Ireland 🇮🇪.

Today at the conference in Dublin, I shared some personal memories. As a teenager, I visited Ireland several times through a programme for children affected by the Chornobyl disaster. I stayed with Henry and Marian Deane in Roscrea, County Tipperary.

I learned English here, and even a little Irish. I discovered another culture. But most importantly, I discovered another way of life.

I saw that people could speak freely. That they could disagree with their government without being afraid. I was too young then to understand what democracy really meant. But I could feel what freedom was. That is something you never forget.

Ireland helped shape me as a person, my values and my European identity. Long before I learned about the European Union, I experienced European values through ordinary Irish people. Through a family who opened their home to a girl from Belarus. Through neighbours who treated me as one of their own.

Ireland also taught me another important lesson: You can love your country, your language and your traditions while remaining open to the world.

One of the men who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry last year was a Palestinian-American, Omar Yaghi.

Racist POS.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Exactly. And anyone who is Irish or has spent real time in Ireland, unless they're acting in bad faith, can confirm that. The accusation is nonsense.

Imagine making a decision that you know will lead to the murder of innocent civilians.

By denying intelligence to Ukraine, that's what our president and his friends are doing right now

That indifference to human life is hard for me to understand.

Russia has had the same leaders for 26 years. Why hasn’t Trump ever called for a new Russian president?

Sanitise: To make something clean, hygienic, and free from germs, bacteria, or harmful impurities.

Is that how Jim views ‘the Other’ in our society?

It would never be acceptable to speak like this about people living in a Unionist community.

This mindset is *the* problem.

"Only 5% of Protestants in Northern Ireland are members of the Orange Order, an organisation so ultra conservative that the 40,000 men who are members are banned from marrying Catholics." Important context from @rosielanners https://t.co/hIlIturXDI

A message to all sane Republicans: He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You said nothing. He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing. He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing. He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing. He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing. His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing. He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing. He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing. It's time to start talking!!!

It's long overdue!!!!

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

One day we will look back on this period in American history not just in severe embarrassment but with complete incomprehension. How did this happen? How did Idiocracy become real life in the richest, and one of the most educated, societies in human history?

[Colum Eastwood @columeastwood]

It’s called common sense.

The DUP have always known this march could never go ahead but they pushed it anyway.

93% of the marches the Orange Order apply for are granted - many of them through nationalist areas.

A New Ireland WILL be based on respect and accommodation - we will never seek to dominate unionism in the way we were dominated.

That’s the point - accommodation and respect go both ways.

Everything has changed and will keep changing.

This is an attack on the very possibility of holding those responsible for the gravest crimes accountable under international law, no matter how powerful they may be.

What is at stake is not only the future of the Court, but the future of international justice itself.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Congratulations Justice Pillay!
The committee in granting her the Nobel peace prize: “An international legal system in which war criminals are held to account and the victims of abuse see justice served is a precondition for a peaceful world.”
May this justice start in Palestine
