Um, Israel and its zionist supporters have already been influencing our elections and bribing our politicians for decades and we hate it.

Trump thinks he can control who everyone else can trade with. He tried it with Canada, and Canada walked away. Now he’s trying it with the EU. He will completely tank the US Economy & every international alliance the US had.
Sounds like exactly what Putin would want him to do.
What a coincidence.

So first Trump is destroying trade with Canada, and now he’s going to destroy trade with the EU as well?

@feljin.ie thanks for organising and pulling so many diverse voices together for the fares increase protest yesterday.

Instead of encouraging people onto public transport, they are driving people off it!
Lowering fares and moving to free public transport should be a no-brainer, instead they're doing the opposite.
In one fell swoop they are worsening the cost of living and climate crises!

I see a few cyclists skipping a red light at this junction but I’ve never seen a cyclist do this. Don’t worry though; this is just the usual deadly danger & destruction from motor vehicles. As you were - keep talking about cyclist behaviour.
