@souljagoyteller@nikicaga The gay marriage referendum was over a decade ago and passed with 62% in favor. The no vote has either died of old age or realised it's not a big deal
They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.
There is no purpose for shit like this beyond cruelty. No government has a place in dictating the identity of its people. Trans rights are human rights. If you can’t get behind that, then get away from me.
In a sea of unhinged, narcissistic, illiterate, callous & inhumane opinion pieces on Gaza, we have an Outstanding Winner. How to dismiss decades of pain & continued suffering in one wave of a comfortable well-fed hand.
I care about strangers because the people I love are strangers in the world and I would hope other people would care for them in moments of their life that occur outside of my presence. Not that complicated.
This is a shameful betrayal of the Palestinian people and the hundreds of thousands of people in Ireland who have been showing up in solidarity for 15 months. It is appalling that this has been adopted without consulting a single Palestinian or anti-racist organisation. 1/3
Yes, Middle Eastern politics are very complicated.
However, they do become much simpler if you take it as a premise that children of all races are equally valuable.
If Hezbollah blew up the phones or pagers of Israeli reservists, inevitably killing and maiming children and bystanders, those cheering on Israel now would be denouncing an obscene act of terrorism.
And anyone publicly cheering it on in the West would be liable for arrest.
Imagine an Iranian newspaper featured the equivalent front page, if Hezbollah had launched the same attacks on Israel.
It would be presented as evidence of Iranian barbarism.
I know it, you know it, we all know it
This guy is a more effective communicator than 95% of left-wing electeds. Connecting the moral purpose of Palestine solidarity protests with his values as a father 🫡
"Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes." --A new UN statement https://t.co/TXUszynstr
