What you need to realise about the Realisation Festival @Realisation2024: the Earl of Shaftesbury profits while he destroys Lough Neagh, the water source of 40% of the North of Ireland. Return the Lough to the people! 🧵 by the #SaveLoughNeagh Coalition & Slí Eile.
To participants of the @Realisation2024 festival: the Earl of Shaftesbury profits while he destroys Lough Neagh. Which is the water source of 40% of the North. The Lough must be returned to the people at no cost as reparations. It is only in his hands due to colonial violence
This is Yama. He is a refugee, living with my family in #Rosscahill since arriving here 4 months ago. He was an engineering student in Afghanistan. Yesterday he turned 20. Neighbours called over with cards & gifts, welcoming him to our community. This is the Rosscahill I know.
Huge thanks to Caroline Rowan for organizing our talk at Galway City Library on Thursday! @librarianintown @MichelineShSk @DiskinSeamus
Climate Camp Ireland took direct environmental action yesterday in Leitrim - more power to them!
@SaveLeitrim & climate activists blocked drains with 100s of Sitka spruce saplings on Coillte peatland in north Leitrim. Native broadleaf trees were then planted on the site of #ClimateCampIreland. #CommunitiesNotShareholders

#LongCovidAwarenessDay We need accessible treatments and supports for all those suffering with Long Covid and other post viral illnesses like ME and Lyme disease.
As today is #LongCovidAwarenessDay here is a photo of before #LongCovid upended my life. Being out hiking with friends is unimaginable now. We need accessible treatments and supports for all those suffering with Long Covid and other post viral illnesses like ME and Lyme disease
One of the very worst examples of “FK you” footpath parking we’ve had sent to us in a while. This is just down from killester village home to the @IrishWheelchair and @centralremedial and Mr.Porsche feels that the footpath is theirs. Enraging! 🤬
Sen. Warren is right!
Right-wing extremists have hijacked the Supreme Court of the United States. We must #ExpandTheCourt to rebalance it and defend our basic rights, including the constitutional right to an abortion.
Wow! Three cheers for @MichelineShSk on her election with BSBI. It's quite an honour and achievement, and we're honoured to have her as our neighbour. Huge congratulations!
Congratulations @MichelineShSk on your election with BSBI. There'll be bonfires in Ballinacourty! @rosefolio
Thanks @StreetStories12 for telling this streak story! I can assure you that @mmontecalvotv and @JohnnyVillella are also super dedicated. They definitely have a streak for being good at what they do!
Providence teacher at the @360_HighSchool has a cool streak going....she’s run atleast one mile, every single day, for the past 3 years! You’ll meet Ellen Foley and her proud husband @FitzProv Friday on @wpri12 #COVID19 👟
Elizabeth is right.
It's not enough to just send Donald Trump packing, or even just to repair the damage he’s done. We’ve got to unrig and rebuild the systems that made his rise possible to begin with, and that allowed his administration to hurt so many people in so many ways.
You'd never know from this Irish Times headline that Joe Biden and the Democrats are actually in the lead: "Donald Trump claims victory and fraud but US election too close to call" C'mon, media! Don't contribute to the chaos.
Here’s what we’re NOT gonna do: give up. We don’t give up when people need us most. That’s not who we are. Our democracy is at a faint heartbeat; it was broken even before Trump. But so long as we can save lives, I believe we have an obligation to do so as we build a new world.
Now is not the time for cynicism or hopelessness. There is and continues to be political possibility to preserve our democracy & move forward. It will require each & every one of us, from the streets to the Senate, to grow in courage, strength, and strategy. But it is possible.
