The recent abuse directed at Senator Eileen Flynn must be called what it is, Traveller #racism

The narrative goes beyond political disagreement. Personal attacks on her intelligence, her voice and her appearance are not legitimate critique. They draw on long-standing stereotypes that have been used to exclude Travellers from public life for generations

Where're the 'Irish Patriots' and their 🇮🇪🇮🇪 protesting this?

"Trump administration deports elderly Irishman from US to Costa Rica"

Separately, the US is continuing to use Shannon Airport to facilitate its deportation operations

An US aircraft operated by JourneyAir leased by ICE landed in Shannon to refuel while deporting migrants to Nairobi in Kenya

It is due to stop in Shannon again on Sat afternoon on the return

Jennifer Horgan: We have set a new standard for what angry men can achieve. It's terrifying

Angry men's blockades stopped my mother being with her dying brother-in-law last week. She was not the only vulnerable person whose needs were trampled on

Irish Examiner
hey, Ireland, if you really wish to support to the "salt of the earth" people, fix your subpar PUBLIC TRANSPORT, that's what we use to get around #FuelProtest #Ireland

We need price caps. Nothing less stop the profiteering / increases.
It's simple as that.
After that, we need to re-nationalise our energy.

This right wing government that is subservient to Trump will never do this.

We have to break away from this subservience to Donald Trump, US Imperialism, and fossil fuel capitalism!

1- Better Education, incl. HISTORY

2- Media not plataforming far-right and spreading misinformation,

3- Making politicians accountable for siding with hateful thugs...

what else? #FuckTrump #FuckMAGA and #FuckMIGA #FuelProtest #mastodaoine #humanities #history #education #MediaLiteracy #StopTheFarRight

Just heard of a vulnerable person having a seizure for 20min stuck on the blocked road. The desperation of the carers and mom, but worse, he will probably have brain demage from this. How many more cases like this?

What we've been watching this week is not a #fuelprotest. It is a #blockade

"A protest persuades [...] A blockade puts a small mobilised minority in a logistics chokepoint and squeezes until the rest of the country is forced to negotiate at gunpoint with whoever happens to be holding the chokepoint that morning. One is democratic. The other is the precise opposite of democratic, it is the substitution of leverage for argument"

I may be overstating the role that the far-right had in organizing the Irish #FuelProtest as I'm not very tuned in to what happens there. That's distinct impression I got from my feed of news on it. A lot of people believe they did and they certainly took advantage of it. bsky.app/profile/colm...
