I’m sure your local Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael or Green Party TD’s are lovely people. But lovely people don’t collude in a vote to bury the State’s responsibility for what happened in Mother and Baby Homes. Don’t forget that when you vote today.

Todays the day! Here’s an explainer on how to #VoteLeftTransferLeft one more time before you head into vote 🗳️
Give your first preference to the left candidate you most want to see elected - People who have ruled out coalition with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. you do not need to give your first preference to someone who is the most likely to get elected, you reserve your number 1 for the person you most align with politically.
Give your number 2 to any other left candidate who has ruled out coalition with Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael.
Give your 3rd 4th and 5th to any other parties of the left you would like to see elected.
No preferences for government parties. No preference for right-wing independents. No preference for anti-choice parties.

Never once in my entire voting life has a poster on a pole influenced the way I vote. It’s a waste of time and money.
In the other hand being dismissive to a carer would turn me against a whole party in an instant.

And Nikita Hand knew that in taking this case, the whole world would know every single detail, right down to what she drank, wore, snorted and said. But she was prepared to let everyone know all of that for them to also know what he did. I think that’s pretty courageous?

"Helen McEntee says no one could question Taoiseach’s commitment to #disability issues."
I will question it all day every day if I want! This is from when you @SimonHarrisTD were Min. for Health. My late son Brendan RIP, 'urgent' #scoliosis waitlist from June 2017 - Oct 2018.

To have our Taoiseach congratulate an accused rapist who wants to strip women of their rights to bodily autonomy is beyond embarrassing.
Congratulations to US President-elect @realDonaldTrump on your victory. The people of the United States have spoken and Ireland will work to deepen and strengthen the historic and unbreakable bonds between our people and our nations in the years ahead.

A garda has been jailed for two years for sexual assault of two pre-teen children.
The man, who can't be named, had decades of service as a member of An Garda Siochána.
In a powerful victim impact statement, the mother of the two children described how the man had “made out gardaí were on his side” after the revelations emerged.
“He sent me screenshots of what his colleagues were saying about me, that I shouldn’t have reported it – these were members of An Garda Síochána,” the woman told the court during the sentencing yesterday.
Important story here by @EoghanDalton, who was the only reporter in court:

If you want house prices to become more affordable, this is pretty good reason NOT to vote for FG. HTB & FHS have both been heavily criticised by experts. Demand-side schemes that are poorly targeted and inflationary. That money would be better spent on supply-side schemes.

I’ve watched a video of people burning alive, outside a hospital, still attached to drips at the hands of Zionists. Meanwhile Zionists are taking offence at……. A necklace 🤷🏼♀️ who are these people if not monsters ?

Paschal Donohoe secretly assuring Israel that the Irish government would block the Occupied Territories Bill is an outrageous betrayal of Irish sovereignty.
This cowardly government is bending to foreign influence at the expense of justice. The OTB must be passed!
Paschal Donohoe had a secret phone call with his Israeli counterpart to assure him the Irish government would “block” the Occupied Territories Bill.
Donohoe didn’t record the call, which the Israeli side called "confidential", in his ministerial diary.

What is one supposed to do to stop the madness? People have protested, written letters, advocated, resigned, been fired, camped, lost degrees, filed for court ruling, demonstrated beyond any unreasonable doubt Israel's genocidal intent, and still, the killing machine is on.

Misogyny makes women and girls' lives smaller and more expensive.
What are the things you do to stay safe(r) that cost you time, money and opportunity?
- go home early?
- not take a meeting alone with a man you don't know?
- not exercise in public?

Half the death toll are children and medical staff. Killing civilians in random explosions would be called “terrorism” if anyone else did it, but when it’s Israel they call it “Hezbollah pager explosions.”
