🚨My latest: Israel almost gave up on its gangs in Gaza, until the IDF found a new use for them: continuing the genocide by proxies & creating a facade "Potemkin village" run by the gangs to justify caging, bombing & preventing reconstruction in the Gaza https://t.co/am1P0ewpDQ

Only 2 TDs, out of over 170 in the Dáil, supported people with disabilities & Carers in the Care Referendum - Mick Barry & Catherine Connolly. Catherine has always fought for >all< of us. She’s my president. #Aras25

The Seóinín class are bleating again about Irish being “exclusionary” in attacks on Catherine Connolly. Spare us. Gaeilge was excluded and suppressed for centuries, while English was weaponised against it. Reclaiming Irish isn’t exclusion. It's an inclusive decolonial process!

Catherine Connolly’s campaign has been extraordinary. In many ways it was similar to marriage equality and repeal. Catherine lit a spark and the campaign grew from humble beginnings to a nationwide movement. Proud to have played a part from the start. #Aras25

Catherine Connolly a Left Wing pacifist and supporter of Palestine looks likely to become the Irish President. Lets remember Conor McGregor who didn't get a single nomination, hahahaha. #Connolly4President

This isn’t the end. It’s just the start of our movement for an alternative that puts hope and fairness back at the heart of our politics and makes change not just possible but inevitable. Help us deliver the first major victory for this movement and vote Catherine Connolly #1

The sheer amount of music in the Connolly campaign has been remarkable. Céilís, concerts, at rallies and online. A former Arts Minister was her rival but I didn’t see a single Hooly for Humphreys. It’s as if both the FG & FF campaigns forgot about Irish culture in this election.

🚨Keir Starmer is specifically named in a new UN report on complicity with Israel's genocide in Gaza. The UK Government is also alleged to have sent spy planes over Gaza for reasons that go 'beyond' official claims of looking only for hostages held by Hamas

Rachel Reeves is reportedly considering raising income tax next month. Of course Labour are planning on going after working people while conveniently ignoring the super-rich who are hoarding this country's wealth. The Green Party is clear - time to tax wealth, not work.
