I've signed this petition calling for the government to stop X allowing their chatbot Grok to ‘digitally undress’ women and share sexualised and illegal photos of children. Will you sign too?

If what was going on in the USA was going on in Ireland or UK or France Germany Belgium Netherlands etc
There would not be 100s protesting
not 1000s
not 100000
But hundred of thousands and millions depending on country size
Why is the population of the USA so docile?

If Sinn Fein decide to go the anti migrant route aping the far right they can kiss any chance of a Left Alliance giving them the reins of power.

One has to ask, and I do this really hoping the answer in no, if the reason the Gardaí go "soft" on the racists and fash is that many in the force have a similar outlook?
Because if any other section of our society behaved like this then I know what the resulting Garda action would be.

The UK is heading full steam ahead to having a fascist as the next PM. Starmer is useless, by design, and British Labour have a fox running the hen house. The sooner he is booted the better.
So sad to see UK Labour descend to this.
I cannot understand why they cannot see where this is leading to.

The British Labour Party is no longer a left party. It is no longer a centre left party or even a centre party. It is not even a centre right party.
It is clearly a right wing party slightly to the left of the Conservatives.
IMHO my party @labourpartyireland.bsky.social should cut ties with them.

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu Maybe we in the EU should just be honest and request the annihilation of the Gaza population and annexation of the West Bank. As these are the natural consequences of policies you seem to support. Be honest and own it.
Oh, you shame me, as a European btw

Von der Leyen is a disgrace and should be, along with her band of Quislings, shown the door.
She makes me ashamed to be pro EU. And this is very sad for me.
To be honest this was clear with her support of the genocide but is clear to even those who support that war crime now also

The British Labour Party is no longer fit to use Labour Party in its name. May I suggest as an alternative "New Party - The New & Nastier Party" (yes I meant the historical reference)

So the leadership of the EU @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu and @kajakallas.bsky.social are starting the process of turning this staunch supporter of prior EU values into an opponent of what they espouse are now EU values. ie supporting genocide and war crimes. Count me out.
