New York Times workers are a one day strike.

This is an outgrowth of the biggest strike wave the US has seen in 80 years- thousands of strikes in the last 2 years

Journalists should start writing about this as the strike wave it is- & what that signifies about the working class

Was at a bar alone yesterday when the bartender said, “Hey, check out this text from my sister!” He showed me his phone and it said, “Do not, under any circumstances, get into a conversation with the guy sitting on your right.” Men, if you are in a position to do this, DO THIS.

Quick peep - still a hell scape - laters 👋

All jokes aside, when do we riot re: housing?

[Ruth Coppinger @RuthCoppingerSP]

Countless numbers took to streets V #genderviolence & #vigilforAshling. But the DPP sees fit to prosecute @RosaWomen Aislinn O’Keeffe for attending a small outdoor standout in #Limerick after the killing of Sarah Everard. Staggering hypocrisy. @MickBarryTD raised it in Dáil today

[Dominic McGrath @McGrathDominic]

It feels like the entire town of Tullamore has turned out this evening for Ashling

We can't find what we're not looking for.

A piece I've been putting together for a while about Covid transmission in schools, and why the low number of outbreaks pointed to are a fallacy.

Thanks to @caitriona_hand for her words.

A young woman leafleting with my team today was verbally abused by 2 men. 1 later followed her in his car & said he'd punch her if she was a man (he wouldn't of course). This aggression & misogyny is exactly why we are campaigning V sexism & #genderviolence #WalkWithWomen #dubw

This takes the absolute biscuit for bullshit and gaslighting.

Professional assessment says a 5 year old child needs psychology for emotional regulation difficulties.
HSE’s response? Offer a service to start on 30th June 2025
AND the service will be group meetings for parents only.
Is this a joke because no one is laughing 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼

On this day nine years ago, Savita Halappanavar was admitted to hospital in Galway, having a miscarriage. She repeatedly begged for the termination that would have saved her life but to no avail, as there was still a foetal heartbeat. She died one week later.

Why is it, people expect schools to solve & teach about the problems of society, yet when schools are having problems of their own, nobody seems to care?

It’s almost as if schools only matter when it’s convenient to people’s narrative

#Childcare costs are the same today as they were yesterday despite govt claims of major change. Private childcare will always be costly. Public childcare is the only way. #dubw

[Ruth Coppinger @RuthCoppingerSP]

Nothing symbolises more the threat to our heritage from capitalism than the cultural vandalism planned at #MerchantsArch and #TheCobblestone. Remember how Georgian Dublin was ripped out? Soulless, generic hotels will enrich a few but our city will be poorer. Protest tomorrow 1pm.

[Seán Ó Raghallaigh @RaghallaighJ]

If you’re a young person in Ireland you now face the reality of needing a food bank, months to see a medical professional, insane car insurance costs, a rental crisis, one of the highest tuition fees in Europe, and now pension going up til mid 70’s
We should be protesting

If the Labour Party will not support wage rises after a decade of pay stagnation and exploding inequality then what is it for?

[Ruth Coppinger @RuthCoppingerSP]

So many new mothers on the #MarchForMaternity. It's time to end the restrictions. Pattern of #statemisogyny. #dubw
