Tom passed away after an illness in December, and is greatly missed. Each year he organised Republic Day on April 24th, marking the date of the start of the 1916 rising. It was important to him that it continues, and this year it will take place in Arbour Hill, starting at 2pm.

The new generation F35 stealth warplane has been part-built in the UK and exported to Israel where it is now being used on combat missions. Just one way in which the UK/NATO is supporting the Israeli war machine. https://t.co/JkEN5XZ3GU via @MiddleEastEye

Good piece on James Connolly in the Morning Star which deals with that nonsense which is constantly peddled that Connolly deserted socialism for nationalism in the run-up to the 1916 Revolution. Read Connolly's Erin's Hope (1897) and the 1916 Proclamation! https://t.co/mfxM9Vz3FY

150 years ago today, Irish revolutionary James Connolly was born. In the 1920s he was honoured by the miners of Follonsby who included his portrait on their banner.

Excellent piece by Ronan Burtenshaw on James Connolly, celebrating his 150th birthday and his abiding relevance to revolutionary marxism.
