@skulltat280 @EBLoyalist1912 @kulture_watch Lots of love

@EBLoyalist1912 @kulture_watch What does the "lol" stand for?

The Orange Order do not glorify terrorists... The Orange Order do not glorify terrorists...

@IrishTimes Please, Irish Times, this is nonsense.

Michael D Higgins's Holocaust Memorial Day appearance has caused disbelief in London. Perhaps Higgins would welcome this, seeing it as proof of his ethical stature. But here the image of an intellectually vain man prevails, writes Finn McRedmond irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…

Musk attacking the governments of Germany, UK, and France and supporting far right parties to take over. Trump threatening to invade everyone. To all appearances, we are seeing the rise of a global cabal set about to turn "the West" into a giant Fascist Oligarchy 1/

Reminder that the @greenparty_ie was ejected from the Dail for mostly keeping its promises.

An inspiring message from Cllr Helen Ogbu this evening. Time to get our walking shoes on! #GaillimhOgbu

The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals. This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.

Ireland is one of the oldest democratic countries in the world, believe it or not. We're one of only 10 nations that have been an electoral democracy for more than 90 years unbroken. In Ireland's case, we've reached 102 years. We can be proud of that 🇮🇪😇 ourworldindata.org/data-insights/…

New Harris campaign ad features Hadley Duvall, sharing how she became pregnant after her stepfather raped her at age 12. She says she had options that girls today no longer have because of Donald Trump. The ad is soundtracked to Billie Eilish, who endorsed the VP yesterday.

@CollinRugg The US would be a lot safer if every state was ran like Florida

NEW: Florida boy arrested, 'perp-walked' and thrown in jail after bragging about a "k*ll list" and showing off an arsenal of weapons. Florida doesn't mess around. "Every time we make an arrest, your kid’s photo is going to be put out there… We’re gonna come and get you. We’re going to put you out for public embarrassment," said Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood. 11-year-old Carlo "Kingston" Dorelli showed his arsenal to classmates and threatened violence. Dorelli was charged with a felony for the written threat of a mass sh**ting. The sheriff also published a video of the boy being led into the jailhouse with handcuffs on. "For the little b*stards out there who think this is funny, ha ha ha, you want to get on social media: You ain’t that smart… You’re getting caught."

This month’s Council update is an unusual one… The curious issue of Cllr Paddy’s Holohan’s second council seat 🪑 (Using my inside voice as the child is in bed! 😅)

@art_is_found Same happened to me a few years back. Yes I paid. I presume it escalates if you don’t. It’ll hit you someday, only harder. Pay now for peace of mind.

my wife and i had our honeymoon in italy exactly a year ago just got an italian speeding ticket in the mail (1 year later lol) do i have to actually pay this thing? what happens if i don't

Waiting for Galway Pride to start

This one going around again.

In the late forties, a young lady came into our shop, spent a few hours immersed in the books and left, empty handed. The following day, she was back, again immersed herself in the books and this time, bought two books. Our mother was intrigued by her and asked, /1

This is a terrorist attack that is almost incomprehensible in the depth of its depravity, and should be in history books for centuries

My colleagues gave repeated standing ovations to Netanyahu yesterday. I hope they remember the starving children of Gaza who will carry the scars of this disaster for the rest of their lives.

Most people are good, and kind... But then you have the worst type... 😡 @Dunnesfarmeggs have been robbed again. A disgusting thing to happen at their egg honesty box which is so valued by most locals. 😢 Make this guy famous guys🙏🏻 #Kildare #IrishFood

@MaccSamaritans Is the book available anywhere? Amazon does not have it.

Have you bought your copy? 🤩💚 Thank you to everyone who has purchased '100 Poems of Hope'!! amazon.co.uk/100-Poems-Hope…

Today, in 1984, Mary Manning, a humble shop worker in Dunnes Stores on Henry Street, made a stand for human rights, which would echo throughout the world. In protest against the appalling racist apartheid regime, she refused to handle the sale of produce from South Africa. Her workers' union, IDATU, had issued directions boycotting South African products. Manning was the first member to implement the strike when she refused to handle grapefruit from the targeted nation. She and her shop steward Karen Gearon were suspended for their moral stance. Then another 10 IDATU members went on strike; Liz Deasy, Michelle Gavin, Vonnie Munroe, Alma Russell, Tommy Davis, Sandra Griffin, Theresa Mooney, Cathryn O'Reilly, and Brendan Barron. Going on strike or being suspended from work in the bleak Irish economic doldrums of 1984 was no easy task. Unemployment was high, and many people on the breadline mocked and resented those who chose to forfeit their work. After initially being donated some financial support from Anti-Apartheid groups, the protestors only received £21 a week pay. National and international support slowly began to grow. Nobel Peace Prize winner Sean MacBride and other high profile faces attended the picket line. Their courageous moral battle reached the ears of Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who met the strikers and invited them to visit South Africa. However, the regime there, no doubt embarrassed by the spotlight caused by the Dunnes workers, refused them entry into the shameful African nation. Their resultant deportation from South Africa only created further headlines throughout the world. Finally, as a result of their peaceful protest and steadfast courage in the face of hardship, the strikers convinced the Irish government to ban the import of South African goods in April 1987. Ireland became the first Western country to completely ban South African imports during the apartheid regime. Years later, when Nelson Mandela was granted the Freedom of the City of Dublin in 1990, the Dunnes strikers got to meet him. The Nobel lauriet said of them "ordinary people far away from the crucible of apartheid cared for our freedom." In 2008, South African President Thabo Mbeki unveiled a plaque in Dublin honouring their actions, and there is even a street in Johannesburg named after Mary Manning. The Dunnes Stores strike began on the 19th of July 1984 and ended 2 years and nine months later in April 1987. Nearly 40 years on and the brave and principled actions of the Dunnes Strikers continue to be an example to us all.

Nailed it! Pass it on! ⤵️
