I wrote about the big differences between how the Irish presidential candidates communicate and connect.

Brilliant morning read from @conorcrummey.bsky.social on the banning of Palestine Action. The UKSC's recent reticence on the principle of legality is (dangerously) filtering down to lower courts in this case. Lots of deft analysis - Inc this general point:

I never had much regard for Heather Humphreys as a Minister, but the level of vitriol she’s firing around the studio during the #rtethisweek debate is highly unpresidential. On the other hard Catherine Connolly is unflappable, reflective and calm … #connollyforpresident #aras25

Israel marked the 1st day of the supposed Gaza ceasefire yesterday by bombing 4-storey residential shelter, killing dozens, burying at least fifty people under rubble & inflicting horrific injuries on children, & the murder of innocents shot by tanks as they tried to return to their home areas.
Israel murders at least 30 Palestinians on second day of 'ceasefire'
The bodies of more than eighty-three people Israel murdered on day one were recovered, seventy-three in Gaza City alone

I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:
1. Who the fuck is @vgasparro.bsky.social ?
2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.
Seriously.
