@observationalX @MaiaDunphy 66.4% of voters in Ireland chose to repeal the Eighth Amendment.
65% of the population voted! One of the highest turnouts in the history of the state!
The majority of the 🇮🇪 population understands that it’s absolutely none of their business what other people choose to do.
Here's the thing about the Irish presidency; any candidate must reflect the values - not the politics - of the people. So anyone who is anti any of the laws and changes we have already made (marriage equality, 8th amend etc), simply isn't right for the job.
Hard pass on Maria Steen. I’m not interested in voting for anyone who voted against women having the right to choose. People like her put women into places like the Magdalene laundries.
In Ireland, under heavy Catholic Church influence (1920s-1990s), unmarried mothers were often confined to Mother and Baby Homes or Magdalene Laundries. They faced forced labor, stigma, and separation from their babies, who were frequently adopted without consent—sometimes illegally, including abroad. Around 9,000 children died in these homes due to neglect, malnutrition, and disease; remains were found in mass graves, like Tuam's septic tank.
Priests sexually abused thousands of children in Church-run schools and institutions, with reports (e.g., 2009 Ryan Report) documenting endemic rape, molestation, and cover-ups. A 2024 inquiry noted 2,400 allegations in religious schools.
These events are detailed in official Irish government investigations.
@CatholicArena The Irish people voted to give women the right to choose what to do with their body.
You’d probably be dead if he hadn’t prevented you from going to mass before people had some protection from Covid.
Peddle your poison somewhere else Satan.

Cancelling my Paramount subscription, @paramountplus my family and I stand with Gaza and the tens of thousands of children that Israel have murdered. Boycott Paramount. Boycott Israel. Boycott genocide. 🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸
@TheNotoriousMMA Congratulations Ireland 🇮🇪, we just showed the world how it’s done, AGAIN! Ireland isn’t interested in having a RAPIST as our President.
We also stood up to Israel before many other nations! Ireland is leading
💚🤍🧡. Fuck off to the USA Conor, you’re not welcome in 🇮🇪

@IrishTimesOpEd Hey @grok remind people of what the Catholic Church did to mothers and babies. What did priests do to children? What happened to unmarried mothers when the Catholic Church held so much power in Ireland.
Don’t sugar coat your answer, just be brutally honest.
@elonmusk Have you heard the news Elon? Ireland has spoken, Ireland isn’t interested in having a Racist Rapist as their president. We’re not interested in anything you’re peddling.
Unable to scrape a nomination anywhere. Faced with a protest later by @RosaSocFem at Dublin City Council where he’d run a gauntlet of people reminding the world he’s a rapist.
Thank you Nikita. And ROSA.

@MaiaDunphy 2 years of Israel murdering thousands of children and not a peep out of the “folks” who seem extremely upset that one American guy called Charlie was murdered. At least he got to adulthood, got married and had kids. Meanwhile in Gaza babies are getting blown to bits.
Does anyone else find it all interesting that @DonaldTrump and @netanyahu managed to sync their social media posts at precisely the same minute on two separate social media channels half a world away and with a seven hour time difference??
@john_mcguirk Are they? I’m pretty sure not too long ago people would have said they were quite conservative… very much leaning to the right. Are the Angela’s still a thing? But you wouldn’t take issue with that anyway. Right? 😉
@radeksalomon@SkyNews “Ireland’s sheltering of Jewish refugees, with its Jewish population growing during WWII despite initial skepticism, challenges the narrative of indifference, as noted by the Irish Jewish Museum, with survivors like Suzi Diamond later educating students on the Holocaust.”
