This is one of the most telling exchanges you’ll ever see on Irish radio. RTE’s O’Mongain reminds Boyd Barrett that Russia invaded ALL OF UKRAINE & only failed due to heroic resistance & because Ukraine was well armed by the west.RBB loses his cool & argues for total capitulation
I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.
Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:
Ternopil. A father rocks the coffin of his child before the burial. Anyone who tries to force Ukrainians into capitulation is helping the killers of children. This is absolute evil.
The only “peace plan” that makes sense is the one from Sanna Marin, Finland’s former Prime Minister:
“The way out of the conflict is for Russia to leave Ukraine. That is the way out of the conflict.”
Journalist: “You've said that Russia should repay for reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should repay for reconstruction of Gaza?”
EU chief spokesperson: “I have no comment at this stage.”
“We don’t just call for Palestine to be free.”
“We demand an end to the genocide.
“We are not afraid to name it as it is.”
“Protecting civilians, protecting children, is not optional. It is a duty, always.”
—Silvia Salis, Mayor of Genoa, Italy

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN
Hannah Einbinder on saying "Free Palestine" in her Emmys acceptance speech.
"It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state." https://t.co/D7ME3jRDEm
When the so called Republicans against Antifa & Justin Barrett's militant wing Clann Éireann decided to spread their propaganda in D8 today. They were taught a very valuable lesson by the locals. I hope they heed the warning. They're not welcome anywhere. Well done folks ✊
Charlie Kirk was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.

Republicans refused to keep flags half staff for President Carter - a decorated World War II veteran - on Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day but are doing so immediately for Charlie Kirk.
How selective patriotism can be.
This is Melissa Hortman, on June 14, 2025 she & her husband John were murdered in a politically motived attack. She stood for environment rights, abortion rights & sensible gun control policies.
No lowered flags!
Can we take a moment to remember her good works.
Please RT.
This is so sad. Oleksandr was very kind, and gave me and @Y_Stefanyuk watermelon 🍉 when we were delivering pet food to his friend's farm in Kherson. Russians are murdering hard-working civilians like Oleksandr for sport–it's pure evil.
