Pro-Israel Twitter is calling for Ireland to be conquered to 'solve the issue of living space' and so they will 'no longer make fun of Israel'.

Sign before you reblog. You might think that two reminders is redundant but seriously the notes to signature ratio is ridiculous.

The Irish government is proposing an overhaul to the country’s disability welfare system that will lead to disabled persons being forced into employment.

There is a plan for a three tier system, with the lowest level being forced to take up “places in training and employment programmes, and take up employment opportunities that are appropriate to their capacity and circumstances.” and receiving €220 a week,

the middle “being expected to make reasonable efforts both to engage with Intreo and to take part in training and other programmes appropriate to their circumstances”, and receiving €242.65 a week, and the highest not being required to work, but only receiving €265.30 a week.

With our country’s outrageous cost of living, not even the highest tier of welfare is enough to live off of.

This motion must not be allowed to pass.

This is the full text about the motion

And this is an excellent Summary from TicToc https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJvqtsP6/

I have created a petition against this

Just remember to actually sign it as well as reblogging it please. It takes about two minutes and could help make a big difference. No seriously, if you reblog without signing it doesn’t help at all it literally has 57 signatures.

If we're all pretty much on board by now with "media consumption is not activism," are we ready to move on yet to the necessary corollary of "failure to consume media is not failure of activism?"

Stephen is terrified that a midlife crisis brought on by the demands of taking command is going to destroy Jack’s joie de vivre.

Okay there's this secret hidden left wing party lore in Irish politics in which labour begs social democrats to go into coalition/form an alliance/go to party talks with them and every time socdems outright rejects them and labour is like "����no worries😁its fine💞love you!💞"

i think that we (as in northern irish catholics) need to take a purposefully comparative stand on the genocide of palestinians. no, what happened here is not comparable, but we have a duty to point out the huge difference in attitude the world has towards our two peoples. the killing of palestinian children is acceptable because every palestinian child is regarded by the world as personally responsible for the actions of hamas. if this is true, why am i not held as personally responsible for the actions of the ira? why would shooting me in the street be unacceptable? if every palestinian is hamas, then surely i must be the ira, regardless of the fact that i have no connection or involvement with the group. and yet, no heads of state are calling for and/or condoning murdering me. why? the only way someone could justify holding these paradoxical beliefs at the same time would be to say that they think palestinians are subhuman and that irish catholics are not. and why would that be? what is it that makes our lives more important than palestinian lives? the answers are whiteness, islamophobia, and the demonisation of arabs. there is no other explanation. there is no other difference between our people. no room for argument. with all else eliminated, those are the defining lines between innocent and guilty. so take that privilege and make noise with it. ask them why we're treated differently. force them to confront the reality of their incompatible beliefs.

The Irish are being replaced, the sacred sites are being bulldozed for illegal alien farms (they literally call them migrant plantations) and they are being threatened by said illegals. They need a full dose of deport them all via President Trump

Election masterpost for UK people!

Scottish friends! English friends! Welsh friends! Northern Irish friends! Friends who don't identify as any of those but who are still eligible to vote in a UK general election!

You have until 11.59pm on 18 June to make sure you're registered to vote in the upcoming election on 4 July. Tap here to go to the voter registration website.

You have until 5pm on 19 June to apply for a postal vote. If you live in Scotland, England, or Wales, tap here to apply for a postal vote. If you live in Northern Ireland, tap here.

You have until 5pm on 26 June to apply for a proxy vote. If you live in Scotland, England, or Wales, tap here to apply for a proxy vote. If you live in Northern Ireland, tap here.

You need to bring photo ID to the polling station in order to vote. Find out here which forms of ID are eligible.

Tap here to find the location of your polling station. Polling stations will be open from 7am until 10pm.

Here is one site which will advise you on voting tactically against the Conservatives. That website uses data from the four most recent general elections as well as recent by-elections, polling and local election results, plus historical and local information. Here is a different tactical voting site, which focuses on only the most recent general election results. If your constituency is currently held by a progressive party, that website recommends voting for it; if your constituency is currently Conservative, it recommends voting for the party that came second in the last election.

Be aware that constituency boundaries have changed since 2019 and that the political landscape of the UK has also changed. To make the best of your vote, bear in mind that the most recent general election result may not accurately reflect how your constituency will vote this year. (For example, Labour is predicted to overtake the Liberal Democrats as the main opposition to the Conservatives in many English seats, and is also forecast to take a lot of seats from the SNP in Scotland.) It may be worth comparing information from a variety of sites, as well as recent polling data, to figure out how best to vote. You can use the above sites to find the exact name of your constituency and then visit its Wikipedia page, where there will be detailed results for the 2019 election as well as information on who is standing this year. Wikipedia also has a treasure trove of polling data for the upcoming election, which may give a more accurate and up-to-date snapshot than results from half a decade ago.

And then remember to vote! Set a reminder on your phone, arrange to go to the polling station with friends or family, do whatever it is you need to do to make sure that you don't lose your vote by falling at the final hurdle.
