Publicly owned, decentralised wind and solar energy; retrofitting coops and social enterprises providing good jobs and warmer homes; electrified, low cost public transport. We need to ask why supposed 'experts' turn to nuclear and LNG whenever the energy transition is raised.

@Cives_Romani @thejournal_ie @damonrgraves Oh dear, books are available

@thejournal_ie @damonrgraves Our government ministers are radical far left lunatics. Of course they are taken aback. They always are when reality catches up with them

A government minister has said she was "taken aback by the negative narrative" around the government's record on managing the economy. It followed an economist's criticism about the State's "inability" to deliver change despite Ireland's wealth. thejournal.ie/infrastructure…

@nonregemesse Away and shite

Irish people need to move on and develop an identity not based on victimhood and the illusion of the moral high ground

@VersoEuropa No thanks

To those saying the European Union is dying… This is just the beginning of a much greater project.

Meeting with Oireachtais members and staff from Dáil and Seanad Éireann to discuss Community Wealth Building and the launch of the @bfcdublin three-year strategy at Buswell’s Hotel. Official launch tonight at the Mansion House: bohemians.coop/home/

This is a great review of #ScoilChoisClaí2026 on Árainn Mhór by comrade and mucker @sopjap ! You should read it, it'll be good for you

This is a lovely account of last weekend's @TrademarkBF Scoil Chois Claí on Árainn Mhór by @sopjap (was great meeting you!) - a couple of days to feed the soul. 'Socialist schools or conferences should be like this.' sopio.substack.com/p/the-hedge-sc…

"Socialist schools should be like this: the people, the land, the food, the weather, the culture, the traditions, the history of resistance, the humour, solidarity with others, the language & the politics. Go raibh maith agaibh!" From @sopjap open.substack.com/pub/sopio/p/th…

@MosiniElisa The Euro is the Deutschmark

Péter Magyar has stated that adopting the euro is in Hungary’s national interest and has indicated a target for its implementation around 2030. Wonderful! The euro means stability, trust, and stronger economic integration. One of Europe’s greatest successes. Let’s go! 🇪🇺🇭🇺

A new Regional Co-operative Support Programme is launching to support emerging and growing co-operatives across Northern Ireland, providing mentoring, peer learning and seed funding - find out more: nibusinessinfo.co.uk/content/region…

@SenatorSlotkin China is winning

Chinese cars are a serious threat to America’s national security and Michigan’s economic security. Chinese cars are surveillance packages on wheels. We need to act now and get this right. My bill with Senator Moreno does just that. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

@RJukneviciene @Europarl_EN Now do Israel, hypocrite

Red carpet in Alaska,Russian teams back in sport, Venice Biennale - all mean one thing: Legitimization of war crimes. EU countries attending the G20 must make clear: they will not stand in Trump’s residence with war criminal Putin. My speech in the @Europarl_EN debate:

@aldatweets @TullyLuke She didn't 'choose' austerity, austerity is constitutiinalised into the successive ordoliberal treaties that make up the EU

I will die on this hill: Angela Merkel broke Germany and probably Europe. In the wreckage of post-2008, she was uniquely positioned to choose social welfare over austerity. She chose austerity. Centrists loved her. But the fascists are now stronger than they’ve been in decades.

@euronews Grain bad, genocide good? Ok

The European Union has warned Israel that it is ready to impose sanctions on those aiding and abetting the trade of Ukrainian grain stolen by Russia in the occupied territories, after a new ship loaded with the cereal arrived in the port of Haifa. l.euronews.com/safl

@vonderleyen Now do Israel

Our sanctions are smothering the Russian war economy. Their impact is such that the Kremlin is restricting access to internet. Russia has fallen behind a digital Iron Curtain. But if history has one lesson, it is that walls eventually fall. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Great day with youth workers digging into the far right & it's ideological roots: capitalism, slavery, scientific racism, the long ugly history that feeds the modern machine. It doesn't come from nowhere & youth workers are on the frontline of the resistance to it. @S_O_Nuallain

@robggill @SocDems @sinnfeinireland @labour @independent_ire @aontu It is

There are marches - attended by every single opposition party- lamenting the militarisation of Ireland, when we have the lowest defend spending in the EU. Every single opposition party @SocDems @sinnfeinireland @labour @independent_ire @aontu think that is something to celebrate.

@irishexaminer Excellent news

Ireland 'stuck' at bottom of EU table for defence spending irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4183…

Great weekend spent ar Árainn Mhór at Scoil Chois Claí organised by @TrademarkBF. An amazing programme put together by the team. Alternatives exist to the present state of things. Amazing to hear about the work being done across Ireland & the globe.
