#OTD in 1945 the Irish Women Workers’ Union began the Laundry Strike. These women went on strike to win two weeks annual paid holidays. After 14 weeks on the picket line the women won that right for all workers. A right we all still enjoy today. 📸 @irishcongress

Direct action is the only way now.
Every Mediterranean state should use their navy to break the israeli blockade and send humanitarian aid to Gaza, says @FranceskAlbs
Two words missing: Israel and sanctions. This endless handwringing is meaningless, the government didnt even pass the Occupied Territories Bill before holidays. Sanctions are the only way to stop this genocide in Gaza. Insist the EU forces Israel to open the borders, let aid in
The situation in Gaza is horrific. The suffering of civilians and the death of innocent children is intolerable. I echo the call by Foreign Ministers of 28 countries for all hostages to be released, and for a surge in humanitarian aid. This war must end and it must end now.
There is no excuse for playing apartheid Israel and engaging in the sportswashing of its genocide of Palestinians. It is literally starving people to death, it cannot have any platform on any stage. The fine won't be imposed, but if it is, it can be paid. Integrity matters.
