🚨 BREAKING:

"My name is Joe. I'm Jewish, not a Zionist, and I want to live. So I understand that the children of Gaza want to live too. We came from New York, six hours away, because we want you all to know that. We strongly oppose the Zionist march."

A Russian court has sentenced 70-year-old Ukrainian Svitlana Loi to 15 years in prison for transferring money to support Ukraine.

Svitlana is a resident of occupied Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia region. The Russian occupation "court" accused her of "high treason" over 24 donations totaling around $800 (33,000 UAH) to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On February 10, 2026, the illegal occupation "court" found her guilty and sentenced her to 15 years in prison.

On August 25, the court of appeal in Moscow confirmed the verdict. Before the decision was announced right in the courtroom, Svitlana sang the traditional Ukrainian "Song of the Rushnyk*" in front of the Russian judges.

*Rushnyk is an embroidered piece of cloth that is used during weddings and other significant events. It has deep symbolic meaning.

« Elle l’a bien cherché. Elle n’avait qu’à pas s’exposer. »

Voilà le type de commentaires auxquels fait désormais face la famille de Sonia Bellina, influenceuse dont le corps partiellement calciné a été retrouvé le 12 août dernier.

Face à ce cyberharcèlement misogyne, Cynthia Illouz, fondatrice du média "The Women's Voices" rappelle "qu'il n’y a pas de bonnes ou de mauvaises victimes"

@CatholicArena I remember being told age 11 about how Cromwell set fire to churches where the Catholics fled for sanctuary, there being no escape in the whole city of Drogheda. He then slaughtered those who came out to escape the flames.

HSE approves Skyclarys reimbursement. This is a significant win for the patients, the families & the campaign.
It wouldn't have happened unless citizens stood up for themselves.
The gov need to get their priorities right in future.

@hilaryjuliet_ I don't support the death penalty but I do applaud the intent to rid the streets of the lowlifes who commit such heinous crimes.

A TRAGEDY

Every person with Down's syndrome could have come within the scope of Kim Leadbeater's assisted suicide Bill, according to Ken Ross, Founding Officer at the National Down Syndrome Policy Group.

This remains true for the revived assisted suicide Bill. It is not safe.

This is a must listen. Tóibín challenges Jim Allister, who seeks to prevent justice for victims of British state violence.

[Aontú @AontuIE]

The human right to life is the most important human right.

Without it, you can't be guaranteed any other right.

[Peadar Tóibín TD @Toibin1]

Aontú support is now at record levels.

Don't scatter your vote in Dublin Central.

Vote for the party that is holding this government to account.

Not surprising. Old FF values are not very far from consistent Aontú. Check out policies and plans for Ireland on the Aontú website.

[Aontú @AontuIE]

Looks like many Fianna Fáilers are voting Aontú in this by-election.

FFFG has to be opposed

Irish families are being charged the highest electricity prices in Europe.

Shocking

[Aontú @AontuIE]

The minister for children has serious questions to answer.

Information and time to reflect is something everyone needs. Pro-life or not, surely we can agree on this point.

[Valérie c'est moi @blathershkite]

The media platforming has begun.
We need to call this out and challenge it at every turn.
10,426 women who attended a first consultation re abortion did not return.
This is a crucial point to make.

[Precious Life @PreciousLifeCom]

On International Women’s Day, it’s worth remembering early advocates for women’s rights believed in protecting the dignity and value of every woman and girl.

Suffragist Alice Paul once said:
“Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women.”
Today, we reflect on a vision of equality that includes all females, including the smallest and most vulnerable among us.
True equality begins by recognising the worth of every human life.

People in Ireland who work hard can't get a home, can't afford rent, are getting fleeced on energy costs, and wait decades for basic infrastructure.

The social contract has been destroyed by this government.
