Tired and retired former educationalist. Spends too much time in his head and not enough in his walking shoes. Gen Xer with suitable opinions and no beliefs. No DMs thanks.

Yes. Absolutely. At the point where apathy is setting in. And this is how Trump & Co became invisible while they plotted and schemed. Bombard the public with repetitive drivel until they cave and switch off. Like overdosing on saccharine.

Another judges decision for them to totally ignore.

“Democracy & its institutions are under attack across the world - & one of those institutions is a legal system in which everyone has the right to representation in court. That system only works if lawyers separate their personal from their professional instincts”.

Imagine. Trump lied! What ever will they do about it? Nothing. As usual. Or maybe sue him. The standard tool of a flaccid “rebellion”.

Massive heart attack. Still raising hopes and not following through. Spacer.

Nice one @catherinegalway.bsky.social!

A great excuse to reconnect, use your franchise & support a great candidate for Irish President.

Too busy building community, energy & hope with the fantastic Catherine Connolly campaign to mud-sling ✨🤩☘️🫶🏾🇮🇪

Connolly for President @catherinegalway.bsky.social · 13h

Make a date of going to vote!

Encourage your friends to vote and meet a mate for coffee near the polling station.

We need to get as many people as possible out to vote this Friday.

This Friday, vote for a strong voice, independent of Government. Vote #1 Catherine Connolly.

Probably nothing new in it. Given none of his questions to CC were original.

No sound on and the barely controlled smirk and contempt on his face will show what’s in his twisted head.

Not going to do any actual work for which they’re still being paid for during the shutdown so they may as well have a whinge.

I don’t know why the @gwr.com tag didn’t work above, so here it is. Is this the way you’d like your staff to help passengers, Great Western Railway?

So the great USA sells out another country. Good job. Hope you’re proud.

Disappointed in @mattcooperlastword.bsky.social on @todayfm.bsky.social. He only managed to rehash all the same worn out questions interviewing Catherine Connolly. Nothing new to offer. Didn’t need a highly paid journalist for that interview. Basically a rerun of all the other outings.

This is the way.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

This is what Israel call a ceasefire. More children dead. Another Art of the Deal failure.

There are no kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.

‘No kings’ is easy enough for us in Ireland to say since we don’t have one. It’s also a reminder that we never will again 🤨. Happy to broaden it out to No Tyrants, since we still have the potential for that.
