Sending 2,000-pound bombs to Prime Minister Netanyahu will not make Israelis or Palestinians safer or get us closer to a peaceful resolution.

I will vote to block the sale of offensive weapons to Israel today.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Fixed it.

[Tom Lyons @TomLyonsBiz]

This is a must read article from a few weeks ago by Sam Smyth on Michael Lowry. The detail is extraordinary.

[Mick Caul @caulmick]

One of the finest journalists in the country.

Sam Smyth: I didn’t buckle when Lowry sued me personally twice. It is sad to see this government cave 

Tax evasion, business connections, and money have cast a shadow over Michael Lowry's career. I should know. He sued me twice for reporting on it.

Michael Lowry, according to the Tribunal’s report, tried to use his influence to double the rental value of a building part-owned by businessman Ben Dunne and leased to the then State-owned Telecom Éireann. 

“What was contemplated and attempted on the part of Mr Dunne and Mr Lowry was profoundly corrupt to a degree that was nothing short of breathtaking,” the tribunal report said.

The director of a documentary that won an Oscar LAST MONTH.
And still. Barely anyone says anything.

If you are reading this, I have been killed, wrote @HossamShabat | I risked everything to report the truth & now I am finally at rest — this land is ours

[Tehran Tadhg @TadhgHickey]

F*** me, I'd give anything to get you as worked up about children being blown up as you are about a lad deleting his TikTok account 💔

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

A children’s rights group has accused Israeli forces of stripping, humiliating, terrorising and detaining two Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank, after shooting and killing their grandmother.

The State has also spent €7.92m in less than 4 years (April 2021 - February 2025) defending legal cases against families pursuing Assessments of Needs for their children.

For much of that time recruitment restrictions for clinical staff were in place.

I normally refrain from posting pictures of corpses or wounds. But something needs to shake the evil bastards who rule us.
I fear they just don't care. Psychopaths.
If she were Jewish, they would be launching armies.

Israel has bombed the United Nations Headquarters in Gaza. Speak up FFS!

[Omar Hamad | عُـمَـرْ 𓂆 @OmarHamadD]

I am currently living in Beit Hanoun, and my house is only 2 kilometers away from the tanks brutally shelling us right now. Bombing is everywhere. We are living in a state of unimaginable fear and terror. The entire town is destroyed — nothing remains but rubble.

I don’t know whether to fear for myself, for our children, or for my elderly mother and father. My heart feels like it’s about to burst out of my chest.

I’ve often wished I had been martyred at the start of the war so I wouldn’t have to endure all of this.

Maybe this time we won’t survive. But honestly, I would rather we all be bombed together, so none of us has to suffer the unbearable pain of losing the other — a pain that has rooted itself deep within us.

This life is utterly unfair and cruel beyond imagination.

I want to end with a message to everyone watching us being killed live on air: remember that we have dreams just like you, and we love life just as you do. But it seems our lives are meant only for death.

Fuck this vile world.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Kildare South Social Democrats! ☘️

A brilliant day of celebrations across the county—special shoutout to our own Cllr @podgesean, who took on the role of St. Patrick in the Monasterevin Parade!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh!

[Kildare South Social Democrats @SocDemsKS]

.@SocDems Cllrs @podgesean and @ChrisPenderKE have asked @KildareCoCo to deliver a multi use games area, including skateparks, to communities across the county.

According to the councillors these are “critical social infrastructure for young people"

[Ori Goldberg @ori_goldberg]

The profound lack of any kind of humanity inherent in this map is a crime against humanity. The ease with which humans are uprooted, the ease of the mendacious designation, "safety", this is a crime against humanity. You don't need lagers to commit genocide. This is genocide.
