How can popular movements advance economic and social rights today? A piece I wrote for @OGR_EN on how past movements in Ireland traced a political path to realising rights in practice. openglobalrights.org/social-rights-…

18 months of this holocaust. Our leaders still support it. “When I was in Gaza, I felt like it was the prelude to the end of humanity,” heroic doctor Tanya Hassan told UN. Don’t you feel it, too? I cannot see a way back from what we’ve allowed to happen.

Off to where the skies are blue. @tomasomuiri.bsky.social Leaving with the most inspirational post I could find on my walk this morning...

David Landy from @JewishPeace at our protest last week at the Central Bank against their facilitating the sale of apartheid Israel’s war bonds, which have raised €3 billion since October 2023. Utterly shameful, this must stop. We cannot be complicit in genocide #GazaGenocide

@CMacCaba Fair play Conor! It's a great read - really enjoying it!

One of the things I'm most proud of in the Connolly book is the rediscovery of the writings of his brother John and I'm genuinely touched by this review from his great-great grandson.

This elderly man told me today that he wishes for death every second due to our horrific living conditions. Without exaggeration, this sentiment is shared by most people I meet; they say that dying seems better than living like this.

How is artificial intelligence going be deployed? We know historically that when machinery came into production, John Stuart Mill said, machinery should lighten the load of labor, I cannot understand why when machinery is actually employed, it is doubling the load of labor. [1/8]

Billions of Euros piled into a demand-side scheme, driving up house prices, creating a 'state-subsidy bubble' in a housing market that is struggling to increase supply to the levels we need. What could possibly go wrong?

“Fine Gael will introduce a 3 year PRSI rebate to support employers with lower wage workers.” TRANSLATION: We will raid the Social Insurance Fund, which funds workers’ pension & other contributory benefits, and subsidise all low pay employers, including highly profitable ones!

Look at this amazing crowd at our huge National March for Palestine in Dublin today. The streets are with Palestine! #SolidarityIsAVerb #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
