Lovely time chatting to @Mamobo96 about my experience volunteering with @ALONE_IRELAND.
It’s important that we remember that this time of the year can be very lonely and difficult for people 🫂
Loneliness or racism – which isolates us more?
On @NewstalkFM's Younified, @Mamobo96 chats to
@laurkbrowne_(Alone) on volunteer impact & Thandile Mkhabela on the painful reality of racial isolation in Ireland.

Huge respect for this woman. Incredibly courageous to take on the rotten thug that is Conor McGregor. I sincerely hope she has a strong circle of support around her.
Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost.
Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not?
Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not?
Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can?
None of this is coherent.
Today @ChildRightsIRL#EndChildPoverty event I outlined how I’ll be advocating for increases in particular payments in #Budget25 proven to help decrease poverty rates in households.
It behoves us all as politicans to continue to push to eliminate child poverty & I certainly will.
15 years ago immigrants became my neighbours, and soon became friends. Their young child had started school. Teacher spoke about family, and she was sad as she had no grandfather. She asked me to be her grandad. I was happy to do so. She +2 siblings are part of my 17 grandkids!
Cathal Crotty is a man. His father who supports him is a man. His friends who didn’t intervene are men. The judge is a man. The men defending him are men.
Saying he’s not a man removes the impetus for change away from men.
He is a man and men are the problem.
There must be consequences for ignoring orders of the ICJ. Temporary suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement should now follow.
