If you come across gay people ranting about trans people, remember that they are completely and utterly unrepresentative.

The polling shows LGBTQ people:

a) have overwhelmingly positive views of trans people

b) overwhelmingly see trans people as part of their community

Every Irish university I've consulted with this year has told me they're lobbying government to fix the immigration issues affecting their postgraduate students.
If the govt aren't listening to universities, who are they listening to?

“Get your laws off our bodies” @ailbhes reiterating the importance of a rally for choice in September
#Repeal5Years

[Together for Safety @together_safety]

Thrilled to be in Dublin today to mark #Repeal5years and to call on Minister @DonnellyStephen to urgently bring in #SafeAccessZonesNOW and implement the #AbortionReview recommendations

#AbortionRightsAreHumanRights #AbortionIsHealthCare #repeal

[Ruth Coppinger @RuthCoppingerSP]

Let’s make history — and we did! A @RosaSocFem m’ber put it well:
let’s celebrate every step forward we wrench thru collective struggle & marvel at what is possible when we unite against injustice. #Repeal5years #socialistfeminism

[Womenscouncilireland @NWCI]

Today marks 5 years since #REPEAL

5 years since we said yes - to women's rights, to bodily autonomy, to reproductive freedom

But Ireland's #abortion law is still failing too many women

Email to your TDs now and tell them this can't continue: https://t.co/xfwqd7uNWy

[Sorcha Uí Chonnachtaigh @sorchauc]

Demonstration to celebrate #Repeal and demand legislation that better reflects the will of the people and, most importantly, respects women’s bodily integrity and human rights. Remove the barriers to women’s healthcare and decriminalise doctors who care for them.

@SOSMedIntl What is Ireland doing at a European level to protect lives in the Mediterranean? @MariaWalshEU @CiaranCuffe @DeirdreCluneMEP @ColmMarkey

[SOS MEDITERRANEE @SOSMedIntl]

"Please help us" Some of the survivors on board have spoken out peacefully by writing messages in their respective languages.Their voices need to be heard.
Heavy rain and wind are expected very soon. #OceanViking is currently seeking shelter. Survivors need a safe place urgently

[SOS MEDITERRANEE @SOSMedIntl]

Extreme weather conditions were very hard for the survivors sleeping on deck. 16 days of waiting since the 1st rescue. This is the longest time ever spent by survivors on board #OceanViking. Their physical & mental health is getting worse. They urgently need a place of safety now

Your daily reminder of the fallacies of capitalism:

[Rory Hearne @RoryHearneGaffs]

"The market is about to enter a deep freeze"
I write in #Gaffs about this - if developers & investors don't see sufficient profit in housing- they won't build.
If banks don't see profit -they won't lend.
We need housing- but the market doesn't build to meet need, just profit

Those warning about fascism and the threat to democracy often look at far right 'extremists', but not the racist dehumamization of migrants and refugees by the government, political parties, state agencies, media and public. 1/
