If you thought cheering on genocide was a bridge too far for the European Parliament, it wasn't. A majority of 401 MEPs today said yes to 5 more years of Ursula von der Leyen. All 3 central EU institutions forever drenched in the blood of the people of #Gaza. Palestine will be free.

Delighted to be invited to attend the 40th Anniversary Dunnes Stores Anti-Apartheid Strike Decency4Dunnes Wkers amazing panel of the amazing activist involved in the strike, interviewed by Vincent Browne

Powerful event to mark 40 years since Dunnes Stores strike. Well done Dave Gibney. Solidarity & trade union activism helped end #apartheid. Workers showed the way & that's how it has to be now too. Change never comes down from on high. It is always won by people. Up the workers!

Deeply unserious. When the killing in Gaza stops, the mass murderers are in jail and your government is no longer up to its neck in genocide, perhaps then it will be time for insincere histrionics from you about social media posts by the UN experts trying to stop it.

Great to hear of the release of Basque journalist Pablo Gonzalez, interned without trial on unsubstantiated allegations of being a Russian spy in terrible conditions in Poland, since Feb 2022. We campaigned for this day.... publico.es/internacional/…

"Israel is killing us like it's the first day. Please, I'm asking you, keep talking like it's the first day." Deeply affected and humbled by the discussion with MoTaz in The MAC yesterday evening. Every word he said is a punch to the gut. It is the 11th month of

4 days before my son Joseph got a brain hemorrhage that ended his life, Joseph bought our Torino Football Club Season tickets for 2024/25 SerieA - I will go the Curva Maratona this weekend without him but he will be in the Maratona in spirit, his favourite football place. #ForzaToro...

A must see...

All of this is happening because US/EU leadership placed zero restraint on Israel while it committed genocide for 11 months. Everything they've signalled about "ceasefires" is an insulting charade for domestic audiences. There are no red lines for them and Israel got the message.

In these difficult times for so many both at home & internationally, fantastic to have the excellent poll topping Cllr Dean Mulligan 🇵🇸 as our general election candidate in my old home town of Swords & the new Dublin Fingal East Constituency..

Shameless beyond words from Micheál Martin. 👉Every overflight of a foreign aircraft has to be approved by the Government. 👉If the US is exporting weapons to Israel's genocide in Gaza through Irish airspace, that is because the Government approved passage to those planes.
