After an utterly sickening attack on an Indian man by teenagers, the migrant community is organising a protest this Saturday 1pm City Hall. Attacks are grossly underreported. Fear is prevalent. The poison of racism must be tackled; stand shoulder to shoulder with all minorities.

Vicious racist attack in Tallaght demands an active response – join the protests  socialistparty.ie/2025/07/viciou…

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.

Great to see so many organisations getting behind the march on Saturday against #racistattacks. This is organised by Indian workers in Ireland. We need entire migrant community & Irish workers, students etc to turn out. Can’t allow far right radicalise teenagers & endanger people

Tickets have recently gone on sale for the ‘MiseÉire Festival’ planned for the 23rd of August in the well known and respected Mayflower Community Hall in Drumshanbo Co. Leitrim. The ‘Festival’ is in fact a lightly disguised far right rally.

In a WhatsApp group about the attack on the Indian man in Tallaght & the stories people are telling of attacks on them are relentless. The attacks are either not reported or not pursued fully by Gardai. Racism is an epidemic. Join the protest 1pm Sat City Hall, Dublin. #NoRacism

That reliable media outlet Grift has lost yet more cases at Press Council: this time for trying to spread misinformation & to stop consent-based sex education in schools. Trying to damage a university in the process. Fair play to @DCU for challenging. pressombudsman.ie/appeal-no-2103…

“No matter who you are, you have to comply with the immigration rules.” No, if you’re fleeing a genocide the rules should be changed - like they were for Ukrainians. Sickening bending to far right & racism. Irish immigration refuse 265 Palestinian visas. jrnl.ie/6766681

A week of the media, business and political establishment saying we can't ban trade with Israel’s illegal settlements, meanwhile the apartheid state is starving Palestinians in Gaza to death, precisely because there are never any consequences for its crimes. We must sanction it.

We attended another huge march in solidarity with Palestine today. The enforced starvation of Gaza is at crisis point & the gov is trying to water down the Occupied Territories Bill, already a bare minimum response to the genocide being perpetrated on the people of Palestine.

Man violently assaulted, stripped by gang in Tallaght. No prizes for guessing they learn from far right & racists to attack people of colour & accuse them of being paedophiles. Solidarity with the victim of this horrific assault. #Racism irishtimes.com/crime-law/2025…

Interesting how Manna & businesses can break planning rules willy nilly - then just say the Council needs to catch up (and get a lovely photo in the paper too). There are people being fined for putting a shed in their garden. Manna allowed operate a disruptive business unchecked

Huge turnout in Dublin #FreePalestineNow Stop the starvation & siege of Gaza. Pass the OTB

Fox cubs bouncing on a trampoline - a sight to make anyone smile. Yet in Ireland it's legal to hunt them with packs of hounds. Contact your local TD to change this cruel law youtu.be/YTi4yTkZ3oM?fe… @RuthCoppingerSP @ivanabacik @HollyCairnsTD #banfoxhunting

‘It doesn’t feel right’ – Oireachtas TV worker hopes for turning point as he signs on during Dáil recess The race to the bottom goes on. Solidarity with the #OireachtasTV workers independent.ie/irish-news/it-…

There is a degree of choreography at work here. The government is under pressure from the public (including FFG voters) to enact the OTB. So it waters down the Bill as much as possible. The Bizness lobby/commentariat start howling about how 'dangerous,' this de-fanged Bill is 1/3

BREAKING: Hague Group member states announce: - full embargo on weapons to Israel - blocking ships carrying weapons to Israel from docking at ports -ending contracts that support Israeli occupation -supporting prosecutions of Israeli criminals at national & international levels

Thank you @irishcongress for calling out the shocking claims of the business lobby regarding the Occupied Territories Bill. This is a modest measure, the bare minimum under int law. We should not be trading and profiting from war crimes! ictu.ie/news/oireachta…

Young refuseniks burn their IOF draft papers in the middle of Tel Aviv They refuse to serve in the Israeli Occupation Forces, and are willing to go to military jail for this stance. New generation of refuseniks is supported by the old, many of whom spent months in jail already
