We can never accept burning effigies of political representatives, flags or symbols as normal.

In any other part of the world, this would be unfathomable and unacceptable. It should be no different here.

This is hatred, rooted in ugly sectarianism and racism.

Last night, effigies of political representatives, including myself, were placed on bonfires, surrounded by flags and emblems.

Those responsible have nothing to offer except fear and division.

But they will not succeed.

I will not let hatred dictate our future.

I will continue to build a future where all our children grow up free from hate.

Every year society in Northern Ireland is expected to tolerate what would be prosecuted as hate crimes elsewhere in the UK.

Celebrating one’s own culture should not require the oppression of another’s.

@BelfastLive They could make a lot of people very, very happy as well ☘️

@think__32 Jeffrey being the best candidate they had for leadership is really saying something too

[Amanda Ferguson @AmandaFBelfast]

Depraved, sanctimonious pervert Jeffrey Donaldson had the cheek to judge LGBT+ people, and women and girls, among others, in Northern Ireland. The twisted, predatory, child abuser and fake Christian was causing real harm to people in multiple ways. Sickening.

Well done to Michelle on dealing with that right wing unionist spiel

[Orla @Orla_McRide]

More women are killed by femicide in Northern Ireland by white men than any other race or nationality.

Where are the riots for that?

A pelican, around 37 years old, shows up every day at a Greek restaurant to get its portion of fish. The bird has become a well-known local figure along the seafront

A new sign language law passed today will see Northern Ireland become the first part of the UK to provide free sign language classes to all deaf children and their families, guardians, and carers.

#EnochBurke is in prison because he refused to obey a court order to stay away from a school, not because he refused to use "they/them" pronouns.

This is a fact

“A toddler in Gaza released from Israeli custody has been returned to his family with suspected torture wounds.”

Read that again.

[Killed Women @KilledWomennw]

'It is shameful that Northern Ireland is the part of the UK where it is "most dangerous to be a woman," the Secretary of State has said.'

Hilary Benn described the scale of violence against women and girls in the area as a "source of enormous sadness" and "shame". He was speaking in the Commons following the murder of two women this month (Ellie Flanagan and Amy Doherty) and the conviction of a man for murdering Natalie McNally - one of 30 women to be brutally and violently killed in Northern Ireland since 2020.
'Earlier, the PSNI chief constable Jon Boutcher told MPs he had significant concerns about his force's capacity to deal with violence against women and girls. Boutcher said he believed there seems to be an "acceptance around misogyny" which he had not seen before.'

[CountingDeadWomen @CountDeadWomen]

Today during the International Women’s Day parliamentary debate @jessphillips will read the names of women killed since IWD 2025 where the suspect is male.
We sent her the ‘final’ version of the list last night. This morning, we’ve had to add 2 women.
There is never a final list

@subtyronean @BBCNewsNI It’s not a smear. It’s just a fact.

[Jenny Deane @jenny4deane]

@subtyronean @BBCNewsNI I wasn’t giving my personal opinion on whether there is or is not a lack of research. That’s the very simple point you’ve been missing. Just sit with it for a minute until it sinks in to your wee bigot brain.
