Hodges Figgis is indeed a lovely shop, but that doesn't matter a fuck when they discipline staff for showing solidarity during a genocide. Thankfully Dublin has plenty of indy & Irish owned chains to buy books from, like the ones mentioned below as well as Gutter, Dubray, Easons etc #Speirgorm
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Who are these animals in masks? They'll be the ones saying they were following orders. Absolute nazi scum!
“Remember this…”
Huh. Who could've seen this coming? I mean, other than 90% of Bluesky?
ICE DETAINS BREASTFEEDING MOTHER
New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.
I got literally BEATEN to the ground WITH A TRICOLOUR almost 5 years ago. Mick Clifford went to the next far-right protest & wrote his most derided opinion piece. He never expressed horror at this use of "our flag" as an actual weapon. But NOW he wants the flag back. 😂
ICE officers have been ordered to HUNT DOWN immigrants. GESTAPO Senior US immigration officials directed its officers to “turn the creative knob up to 11” even when it comes to arresting people they called “collaterals”, and think up tactics to “push the envelope”. apple.news/AWPr5oGi_SWu...
You’ve been warned. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🌮

A visual analysis shows the U.S. likely bombed a migrant detention center in Yemen on April 28. At least three U.S.-made GBU-39 bombs at the site of the attack, which killed 68 African migrants, according to the Houthis, a militant group that controls northern Yemen.
Sign of the day…
As someone who experienced threats and harassment from armed extremists for over a decade, I have empathy for anyone who feels afraid of retaliation for free speech. But at the end of the day, we all must make a choice: back down or double down.
Well done Limerick, great turnout today.
Underrated movie, three great performances.
If Trump was President in 1940
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
This is how it’s done.
A very well-explained piece about what's coming in 🇺🇸. Levitsky writes that US democracy will most likely break down in the coming months, but "what lies ahead is not fascist or single-party dictatorship, but competitive authoritarianism."

America is on it's own journey, it's not in a good place right now
Hey Google, WTAF?! Here in Europe land we want no part of this nonsense
Well it’s not weird really if you know the eventual endgame is military style authoritarianism in full uniform. Yer just not quite there yet, but it’s all building towards it.
Find you these friends
Absolutely no way we are going back to those times
I won't lie: after 3 weeks of experiencing almost unimaginably abundant and diverse Costa Rican nature, returning home to the Irish ecological moonscape is a visceral gut punch. But what Costa Rica shows is that it doesn't have to stay like this: nature CAN return. #Rewilding 🌍
The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do
➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!
Wait until c*nt isn't strong enough
OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.
Everyone who gets into bed with trump ends up taking a fall, can't wait zuck. The world doesn't need billionaires.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
I suppose destroying a brand is the least of what he is doing, he has become a very dangerous man.
I've just left the Tesla owners FB group as they were shutting down conversation on musk. It can't be ignored, he is destroying the brand. This message needs to get back to Tesla.
I have a Tesla since before musk outed himself as a nazi, I won't be buying another. I don't understand why the Tesla board haven't ousted him already.
EU medicines agency quits X & moves to Bluesky "EMA will no longer post updates and content on X. We believe the X platform no longer suits our communication needs” the agency said in a statement www.reuters.com/world/europe...
@lkagainstfascism.bsky.social welcome to Bluesky, hopefully others will follow soon and I can delete my x account.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.
Good to know: last year I raised the issue of Tesla promoting themselves in Irish schools and felt like a crank.
Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.
this choice of photos by the Carter Center is shadier than a Georgia peach tree in summer
It's a new platform for many people and they are trying to build a network, engagement will come.
If it's a small job you'll be faster learning from YouTube and doing it yourself.

THEY’RE ALL FALLING IN LINE Social media keeps sliding further right, setting up the disinformation & propaganda machine to be even stronger for Donald Trump. ⚠️ Meta is replacing its liberal policy chief, Nick Clegg, with Republican Joel Kaplan—right after Zuckerberg met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
Ann Telnaes says her Washington Post editor refused to print this cartoon depicting tech billionaires, including Post owner and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, paying homage to Trump. The free press is disappearing before our eyes. Brava to Telnaes for resigning in protest. open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...

He bought Twitter and turned it into a cesspool. He's one of most dangerous amplifiers of disinformation on the planet. He bought the Presidency. He attacks anyone who disagrees with him with bots, trolls and censorship. Why would anyone want to insult him? 🤷🏻♂️
And who is going to buy his cars, maga's won't.
a middle-aged friend of mine who runs his own company told me that his young gen-z employees staged an intervention like christopher moltisanti and told him he has to stop wearing slim fit pants
There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.
"So it's a toy show?" "Toys, books, bikes, singing and dancing, that sort of thing." "Aimed at what age group?" "Say four to twelve-ish." "And it starts at..." "Twenty to ten, runs till after midnight." "Is that... set in stone?" "Absolute deal-breaker, yeah." "Ok... Great." #LateLateToyShow
Younger people do not vote, it's on them.
The best thing about BlueSky is not financing a sociopath.
I had a look on Twitter and lots of 'take our country back' posts. Quickly jumped back to Bluesky.
Who votes for her?

For any new followers/visitors to my profile I have two full Irish Media starter packs & working on a third one. They can be found under the Starter Packs Tab on my profile.
Bluesky is like walking into your local pub on Christmas Eve and spotting everyone who's home for the holidays.

@donie.bsky.social I’m creating a starter pack of Irish media sources and personalities. Please share.
My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer. Morning.
people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙
Hadn’t pegged Dawkins for literally the stupidest person in the world, but this is an immediate first ballot contender for dumbest sentiment ever committed to print.
