Notable from listening back to the This Week debate that Heather Humphreys no longer seems to be interested in making a positive case for voting for her. It's all just attacks on Connolly.

Catherine Connolly wanted to do the funniest thing when she wins, her very first public video should be

"I know a thing or two about smear campaigns. That's why I encourage everyone over the age of 25 to book theirs now!"

Speaker Johnson says it’s “procedural.” But blocking Adelita Grijalva from taking her oath because she would vote to the release the Epstein files. At stake also is who decides who may sit in Congress.

The Epstein Files and the Silencing of Adelita Grijalva

Why Speaker Johnson is blocking a duly elected representative and what it means for democracy.

White supremacy is racism. Segregationism is racism. And importantly, the desire to maintain and preserve economic, social, educational, religious and other institutions that are permeated with racism is most definitely RACISM!

I remember that after the “migrants are eating our pets” lie.

Trump’s said there’s his truth, your truth and the other fella’s truth.

We have #IvanYates in Ireland saying the same. “Smear the Bejaysus out of her” he said about a Presidential candidate. Because the truth wouldn’t hurt her.

Always remember:

As @catherinegalway.bsky.social says in the first short clip here, HH is now all about the politics of fear and smear, to avoid substantive debate on issues.

Comment: We deserve better.

Pro tip: When MM reaches for the 'anti-European' slur, he is defending someone up to no good, using the EU.

When he is front-paged doing so by the SIndo, watch this space.

He uses it like they use "Anti-American" thar lear, to shut off debate. To end thinking.

One candidate is onto him.

They’re putting up stickers like this in my area

#IrelandForAll

STICKER OF AN IRISH FLAG

ATTENTION THIS FLAG IS FOR EVERYONE!
Do not let the small mumber of people with hateful and extreme views tell you that it is only meant for those wto are straight, white, and obediently nationalist.
This fag, as a whole, is intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union of the people of different traditions on the island of Ireland, which is expressed in the Constitution as the entitlement of every person to be oart of the independent Irish nation, regardless of eteric oriain, relicion, political conviction, gender, sex or sexual orientation.
WE WILL NOT FALL
FOR FASCIST PROPAGANDA.

30 acres destroyed by 'unknown' people who approached Coillte for access permission, and when refused still used Coillte 'protected' land to gain access where they were able to work away unimpeded by Coillte.
Did anyone think to get a name?
Keep an eye on the area?
