In one of her first public actions as the newly elected Uachtarán na hÉireann (president of Ireland) Catherine Connolly has written a public letter of solidarity on Trans Remembrance Day. It is a very promising start.

There is a broken down lorry on the M50 northbound after J7 (Lucan). It's blocking main lane 1 on the Westlink Bridge. Delays of 10 minutes from J9 (Red Cow).

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

There have been dozens of large, well-designed studies investigating whether childhood vaccines (including MMR and others) have any link to autism. These studies have followed hundreds of thousands to millions of children and have found no causal connection.

This BBC report is deranged! Even apart from confusing pronoun & surname (& misattributing that confusion to the judge) they completely misrepresent the judgement which stated that Burke was suspended for gross misconduct & *not* for his regressive views on gender. Is BBC in contempt of court?

Just dropping in to point out that if you let Rugby Goebbels away with what he's saying today, he'll take that as acceptance and do worse tomorrow.
It's not enough to tut-tut and disagree with them - fascists and racists only stop when you make them. 👍

How many inhumane anti-immigrant policies does it take to change a lightbulb?
Change? Change! Don’t be stupid, the idea is to keep people in the dark about the real causes of inequality and the housing crisis.
