Great to hear Prof Jeffrey Sachs on @news.rte.ie talking about the barbarism of the US and Israel's attack on Iranian people (as well as mentioning the genocide of Palestinians)
- nice contrast to how @news.rte.ie usually just parrots the US and Israeli propaganda #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm

Coming up this SUNDAY! A true story of family, love and anti-Nazi resistance — researched and presented by yours truly. Live on BBC Radio 4 or listen later on BBC Sounds.

The pic features the Iranian author Sahar Delijani who is looking at the camera. Her words appear next to her on the picture and they read: I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

Ireland used to respect the UN Sec Gen. Now she pretends not to hear him.

Thank you Sunday Independent for publishing our letter today

There is nobody on earth more expert than a parent who is worried about their child so we would be delighted to chat with anyone who has questions about how to support their child and keep them safe, loved and well.

Love always wins ❤️

The green Party's Hannah Spencer has won the Gorton and Denton, with Reform in second and Labour finished third

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Looking forward to reading this #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm

I think it's because so much of the policy is about optics rather than treatment or prevention. As long as addicts are kept out of sight then nobody wants to think too much about them.

I met Zhanar in Lesvos a few years ago - an amazing lesbian activist from Kazakhstan

The only people put in prison over Irish State complicity in lawbreaking at Shannon Airport have been those protesting against it.

I'm looking forward to screening my LOAFERS documentary at The Outing Festival in Ennis this weekend

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

Shannon airport has long been put at the disposal of the US military by Irish authorities.

Now it is facilitating ICE deportations which may amount to human trafficking or even crimes against humanity.

For a country that speaks loudly in support of the rights of Palestinians, this is shameful.

Having lived in the Netherlands for 7 years - cycling close to every single day of that - what keeps cyclists safe is great cycle path design, the fact that every driver also cycled and the fact that if a car hits a cyclist the fault lies with the driver.

The pivotal riot that shaped modern LGBTQIA+ rights, you don't hear about enough Before Stonewall, Pride, or the rainbow became a symbol for the queer community, a group of trans women started a revolution that history almost forgot

"Though Stonewall became globally known, Compton's shows us the truth: trans women of colour have always been at the heart of queer liberation."

We are looking for objects to display in the exhibition. Do you have any Cork Queer Memorabilia from prior to 2000? Would you be willing to donate them to the Cork LGBT Archive? It won't be possible to display everything as space is limited. Contact: CorkLGBTHistory@gmail.com

European Citizens' Initiative Give your support !

C'mon folks, only 721 people to go and we've passed the Irish threshold. If you haven't signed this already, why not?

It's an important EU citizen led initiative that needs 7 countries to pass their threshold, and then the EU government machine is forced to talk about it.
