There are currently two corporations with applications to strip the west coast of seaweed.
There will be a tiny window to put in a submission to these applications but it'd be good to build momentum now and get these applications being talked about locally.
Please sign and share.
''Acadian Seaplants, a massive Canadian corporation and owner of Arramara Teoranta, has put in an application to harvest tens of thousands of tons of wrack from huge swathes of the west coast.''

Sign the petition and lets stop this from happening ✊️

RTE reporting verbatim a Garda sargent claim at #GeorgeNkencho Inquest that there’s absolutely no way the situation could have been de-escalated. George had just walked home peacefully, watched by Gardai. Armed support arrived & shot him 6 times. Gardai surrounding, shouting & firing is escalation.

The state has again covered up for the armed support Garda who shot George SIX times within a minute of arrival on scene - twice in the back. No justification for this to deal with someone with a kitchen knife. The DPP power to block vital prosecutions must end. #JusticeforGeorgeNkencho

Sharing yet again, and will keep sharing.
Only 8,397 Irish residents have signed this petition. Shockingly low for a country that says it stands in solidarity with Palestine.

Please sign, this petition will make a difference.

They have poured tens of millions, if not more, into a decade-long war on the rights of trans people to exist and 86% still don't agree with them
Striking numbers which demonstrate, in spades, how tiny is the popular support for the culture of hate that Britain's institutions seem determined to impose on a kind and accepting majority.

(Expect the BBC to ignore it or qualify it to oblivion.)

For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM

Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).

It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

Addressing the cost of disability isn’t charity or pity - it’s about rights and equality.

Disabled people shouldn’t live with a tax on their lives or be pushed into poverty by extra daily costs.

A rights-based Ireland means removing barriers and letting people live with dignity.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Or the government could "get more mature" about drugs and accept that making them illegal has been a *total and complete disaster everywhere", decriminalise them, regulate them, and put the resulting money into properly resourced easily accessed programmes for people in addiction

On an IG video, half the comments were complaints that we spent more on Ukrainians & Palestinians than on flood prevention, meanwhile the government has minimised the climate crisis to the point we will pay 28 billion for missed targets. But sure, it’s them foreigners, not decades of mismanagement 🙄

I want to say this clearly. The racist comments I’ve experienced online are not just upsetting, exhausting, or unpleasant. They are dehumanising. And that has a real impact, not just on me, but on others who see them and recognise themselves in them.
