One of the few good things RTÉ makes is their documentaries. This is a massive loss for public broadcasting in Ireland.

[The Resonance @Partisan_12]

Why are the Irish so pro-Palestine?

🇮🇪: “We have a history of occupation as well”.

🇮🇪: “We ourselves were colonized to play an oppressor.”

🇮🇪: “It's Britain's first colonial project here in Ireland.”

🇮🇪: “ it's something we fought back against for 800 years.”

What a day for poets—-

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

The extinction of the Slender-Billed Curlew should be a wake-up call.

The world is upside down: billionaires jaunt to the moon while wildlife vanishes.

Endless wealth for greed, scant care for what enriches all our lives.

Nature belongs to all of us—we must defend it.

[GO GREEN @ECOWARRIORSS]

World’s landscapes may soon be ‘devoid of wild animals’ and the oceans devoid of marine life
Humans are not the caretakers of Mother Nature
They are its destroyers and will leave nothing for other species in the quest for more and more materialism https://t.co/kBNpL52V1w

Humankind is on a mission to wipe out all life - including itself

I wrote about my five days in Israeli prison for the LRB. Remember with every paragraph that this is the cosseted version of the experience; it is infinitely worse for Palestinians https://t.co/tsGyR12oqd
