The Irish - not only the SocDems - have a very clear understanding of what Trump is, all the gaslighting of his administration and the havoc they are wreaking. They came out in the thousands to let their government know they want no part in it. Good. 👇
The SocDems were out in force today in Dublin to say no Céad Míle Fáilte for Trump.

Burgers are still not a healthy choice, but I'm glad I'm not eating a yoga mat. Laugh all you want at EU regulations, they keep us and the planet healthier and safer and contribute to higher life expectancy, lower obesity and much more.

This shameful clowns ravings draw a nice contrast to the clearly same, coherent and competent current mayor who is getting stuff done that only a fool could disagree with. Not hard to find 100k racists in a country of 100s of millions - not even counting the Russians who signed the petition 😂

Hopefully this will benefit ethical science and freedom of thought in the long run across the globe.
We'll also welcome 21 researchers, currently based in the US and Canada, who will move to Europe to carry out their projects. This is almost double last year's number.
Our research community is already world-class. We're investing to make it even stronger!

Dolly Parton was a wonderfully unique and fundamentally positive human being - how different the world would be with more of that energy and loving humour 🥲. I'll always cherish the memory of seeing her perform in Dublin in 2011 with my father, who loved her songs. RIP, Dolly.

This malevolent schemer should be on his way out together with the radicals who are egging him on. Keep your venom for your local politics if you must. European allies need to separate the man from the people and give him zero fig leaves.

🔹 AI-generated media, ‘deepfakes’ must be clearly labelled as such
🔸Chatbots and virtual agents must explicitly state they aren't human
🔹You must be told when AI is actively analysing you, like biometrics, emotion tracking

Why is the Economist platforming one of the planet's worst super villains with their Insider interview? Can we stop whitewashing this terrible person already. Because he's "the world's richest man"? puh-lease. Time to report on the monster without giving it a stage. Do better.

Are there more creeps than I thought or is there a correlation between being a politician & being a creep?
How are there so many men conspiring to assault knocked out partners? Did the Internet do this or was it always a thing?
And how are the Tates still platformed? WTF.

It makes sense that fascists would consider Anti(opposed) to) Fa(scism) a serious threat 🤷 ... One would hope the opposition increases proportionally to the threat, so they might not be wrong about Antifa being on the rise. They'd kind of be labeling themselves though, no? 🤔

Today, I visited Lulla’s Restaurant where volunteers are packing donations like food, medicine, clothing, and even wheelchairs, that will support relief efforts on the ground in Venezuela.
If you're able, I encourage you to volunteer with Lulla’s to help provide critical support to those in need.

I want the media to remember this the next time they write about Musk's supposed genius, visionary plans or hot takes. Any interview with him or article on him should address the violence, blood and death on his hands.
Fascists in Belfast set fire to buildings with people inside them. People of colour left work early to stay indoors.
This is being actively encouraged by the world’s richest man whose openly pro-white nationalist platform X is still used by the UK government
