Last May I was sued for defamation by David Quinn. I replied to a tweet of his that referred to doctors who perform abortions as ‘deliberately killing patients in the name of autonomy’ I was angry, tired, hungry & in the queue in Dunnes - the perfect storm for stupidity /1

Their names were #VanessaWhyte #SaraRutledge #JamesRutledge. A woman, 2 teenagers wiped out from male violence. No doubt a pattern of coercive control & attempts to break free will be revealed. When will this cycle of #femicide #familicide end? Condolences to all impacted.

Being called a groomer for supporting my trans daughter is vile, ignorant, and rooted in hate. Loving your child, advocating for their rights, and helping them live authentically is not grooming, it’s parenting.

K-Pop idol comes out as trans, delighting fans: 'So beyond proud of her. My sweet girl' thepinknews.com/2025/07/21/k-p…

Thinking of her today. #JaneyGodley

I’ve learnt the hard way in politics but when people show you who they are, believe them. It says a lot that this was all done late on a Friday evening during the Summer recess also.

So excited for @belfastpride today Happy Pride everyone 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍🌈 #Pride2025 #Belfast #TransRightsAreHumanRights

"Our society views women’s time as infinite like sand whereas we guard men’s time as if it’s finite like diamonds. Nowhere is this more obvious than the workplace.” -Eve Rodsky qz.com/women-workplac…

Whoooop @belfastpride - Mammies en route - Happy Pride #Pride2025 #Belfast #transrightsarehumanrights

We have multiple crises in #Housing, Health & Child Poverty- but Govt priority is gifting big business a near €1Billion tax cut. #VAT rate cut for #hospitality would cost €867.7m a year rte.ie/news/business/…

For the 49 people in Leitrim who received the abortion care they needed last year, each case represents a deeply personal decision, not fully understood by those outside the situation. Not your body, not your business. #MyBodyMyChoice Thanks to @LeitrimLive #BuyAPaper

I keep hearing young men say, “They called me a fascist, so I became one.” That’s like getting called gay in school, getting mad about it, and then marrying a man to own the haters. If you became one, it’s not because they said it. It’s because they were right.

Never ever forget the politicians, the media, the commentators who could have stopped what was clear genocide from the start but instead who enabled it and, now that Palestinians are being starved to death by Israel, are trying to cover their asses. We will never forgive this.

The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.

The intergenerational impact of starvation as a weapon. Another reason why the plight of the Palestinian people resonates with those of us of Irish heritage. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

Superb letter from the always brilliant @drbriankennedy about the 10,852 abortions provided in Ireland in 2024 We voted for our kids, our siblings, our friends, our neighbours, our colleagues, and our students to be able to access care in safety #abortionishealthcare

Repeal replaced shame with dignity, silence with support, and risk with safety. Excellent letter in this morning's Irish Times from Tipperary GP, @drbriankennedy
