A fantastic canvass in #Galway today with the amazing Cllr Helen Ogbu.
Our outstanding @labour.ie candidate in the #GalwayWest Bye-Election!
Nice to see the IFA have its arse handed to it, but the farmers are the weakest link for the development of a substantial far-right movement in Ireland.
Albums released in March 1989 include a proper old-school banger: De La Soul's 3 Feet High And Rising www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0Zh...
The dairy industry has operated for too long on the freedom to pollute.
Workers whose jobs are now at risk should ask their bosses why they did not invest in meeting legal requirements.

Always be wary of anyone who self describes as a ‘patriot’
On a typical day in Galway city, you step outside your front door, immediately dodge a unicyclist, greet your fire-eating neighbour, roller-skate to work in the giant papier-maché heads factory, narrowly avoid becoming part of a druidic dance troupe, then end up in a drum circle anyway
This week celebrates 8 YEARS of learners coming to our volunteer led sessions!
2 nights a week, week after week, month after month, year after year (and thru a pandemic) sounds a lot, but it seems to have flown by.

“To believe in laws over belief in people is to be colonized.”
Hey there good folks of Ireland I am going to be all over your island with my wee island book. (By your island, I also mean my island). Please come join me at one of these lovely events #FewAndFarBetween
The landlord behind the evictions in Co Wexford has “decided to withdraw” the notices.
Spox for Patchflow Ltd said it recognises that receiving eviction notices can be “deeply unsettling” and acknowledges the “stress this situation has caused” within the community.

Overwhelming majority want proper cycling infrastructure in Galway. So just get on with it. Please
Anybody who thinks that Ireland is neutral needs to grow up #speirghorm
If we don’t play Israel, will they bomb us?
(My own apartment also seems to be within the evacuation area.)
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Sorry to be dejected on main but man it is really a time of disappointment in people hey!
So many people with whom I thought I shared a worldview and felt camaraderie with, and I was totally wrong, they just don't really share that worldview.
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
I visited Carrifran Wildwood myself last summer, and the scale of what has been achieved there truly has to be seen to be believed.
At least 400,000 acres is now being rewilded in Scotland: an incredible 2.1% of the whole country, and rapidly increasing all the time.
Come ON, Ireland!!
The people want tar💪
Great progress along Bóthar Stiofáin in Galway. Some really nice design features like bevelled kerbs 🤓
Hope works can be wrapped up soon so that disruption is minimised, unlike other schemes which seem to drag on. @galwaycycling.bsky.social
Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

🔴 Ukraine regains 460 square kilometers of territory this year.
President Zelenskyy says Ukrainian forces have reclaimed significant ground since January, while claiming Russia loses 35,000 soldiers monthly—a rate that currently mirrors the Kremlin’s recruitment efforts.

I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.
