Connecting humanity has been experiencing a shortage of eSIMS for a while. eSIMs are the only way for Palestinians in Gaza to connect with the outside world. If you have the means to donate, please consider.

Let Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael at it. Hope that the Labour Party don’t continue to prop up the right. I maybe wrong but suspect the Soc Dems have enough wit not to prop up FFG. Labour are where they are because of their time in Government.

It's been an odd night. As I was going to bed, someone named Katie Hannon tagged me in a post I didn't understand. I woke up at 1:30 to pee and saw that 30 strangers in Ireland were following me. I woke at 4:30 to pee again (yes, I'm old) and saw that even more Irish are following me...

A horrible thread of examples of racist abuse the OP has endured. But we can use our vote to marginalise the racist candidates.

And remember the Palestinian people when you vote, vote for those that will pass the Occupied Territories Bill.

Vote left transfer left!
I've gotten countless messages like these over the years. Think of me when you're voting tomorrow. Vote the way down. Use your transfers. #GE24

I don’t know what to do anymore! I feel so impotent in the face of the daily horror! I can’t imagine the actual trauma of being a Palestinian or Lebanese person right now.

I’m voting for parties I think will enact the Occupied Territories Bill!

This is terrifying, meanwhile we are getting more data centres but need more public transport options.

I’ve lived in cities with good PT and only rarely had to use a car and it was preferable.

We are so poorly served with PT, times, frequency, safety, cleanliness all need work.
"This means we have even less time to stabilise the climate. So it is imperative that humanity acts to reduce emissions as fast as possible."
Read it straight from the scientists who performed this study, Laurie Menviel and Gabriel Pontes, from UNSW in Sydney. 🌊

Meltwater from Greenland and the Arctic is weakening ocean circulation, speeding up warming down south
New research shows melting ice is causing the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to slow down, with widespread consequences for the world’s climate and ecosystems.

Was looking for thermal bras online and they don't seem to exist in the way I was envisaging, so I've come up with a prototype

Well, I forgot how many FF’ers are anti choice - good timely reminder!
Just a quick reminder of FG/FF TD’s who voted against Ireland having a referendum on the 8th. Just in case they are running in your area or you want something else to ask them about if they call at your door. #GE24

Arrest warrant for “alleged war crimes & crimes against humanity” seems to be incompatible with human rights clause of the EU-Israel agreement. Will the EU uphold its core aim “strict observance of international law”

Or will they continue to support genocide!

I’d actually love if anyone from @fiannafailparty.bsky.social or @finegaelparty.bsky.social could point out one metric in health or homelessness where we have made progress in the last 5 years
I really can’t wait for the time when Irish ☘️ people realise that voting for @fiannafailparty.bsky.social and @finegael is against their own best interests

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Echo chamber my arse. When I go to the pub for a quiet drink I sit with a couple of good friends and we have a nice chat.

I don't feel the need to take a couple of racist twats to have them call me a cunt all evening for a bit of balance.

Twitter can get fucked.

Why did he not do so when in government? They have had over a year to do so.

@newschambers.bsky.social: “Would you term it as a genocide?”
Harris: “I do.”
Outgoing Taoiseach Simon Harris says what’s happening in Gaza is a genocide, adding that if returned to office he would formally move to table a motion on the EU’s Association Agreement.

The O’Gorman vs Martin vs Harris scuffle on climate there was at least a bit interesting.

Simon Harris loves turning every discussion of climate into the “Greens talking down to farmers” - no need there. Makes everything climate a zero sum, confrontational game. It’s far too important for that.
