PETITION: Irish Americans Stand for Irish Neutrality 🇮🇪
Do not debase Ireland into a pathetic servant of the U.S. government, Donald Trump, or war-profiteering weapons companies. @WorldBeyondWar

I was in Ireland covering protests last year, and nothing is performative. they relate it to their very own forced genocide misnamed a famine (irish Americans are nothing like Irish in Ireland).
Also, they can't change their own laws because of America threats (Biden and Trump blocking the Occupied territories bill ban on goods AND services to Israel which was later watered down). The protests there are against AMERICA buying off their politicians. Separately, I don't think Biden, Trump or any war criminal should move in peace the rest of their lives whether in office or out of office. They deserve court dates

Not true. Thousands protested Trump in Ireland in Sept, a much more massive protest on many levels than Biden. Only diff is Biden didn’t have security like Trump so while at car, 3 protesters threw milk cartons at him (I have no prob with BTW for Biden, Trump or any mass-murderer). If those same 3 protesters could have had access to Trump, I’m pretty sure he’d get a thrown milk carton too. The overall protest to Trump was far FAR greater.

4am plate of sausages and chips at The Manhattan. Near Kellys Corner on Harcourt Road, it was one of Dublin’s best known late night eating spots. Open until around 5am, it fed generations of Dubliners from the mid 1950s until around 2009. First footage I’ve seen of the inside!

#OTD in 1971 – RTÉ’s censorship of Irish republican ballads reflected a wider effort to silence nationalist voices. Under Section 31, government restrictions were reinforced by the broadcaster’s own self-censorship. The songs of Irish resistance endured. 🇮🇪
If someone threw milk cartons at Trump and Jr, you wouldn’t see this level of transatlantic shoneenism. Sure, Mulhall would still shake his head but these Dems in America would be cheering.

Has McEntee has ever publicly said or done anything that associates himself with Irish America? Seems like an Irish Central level of grasping…

The final stop of my Irish history walking tour of DC (website pending)
Thousands grab coffee inside Union Station every day, standing on top of a vanished Irish neighborhood nobody told them about.

Oh fuck off. Biden playing up Irishness while green lighting a genocide has been a watershed moment for Irish Americans who reject your and his zionist bs.
The bigotry & dismissiveness displayed toward Irish-Americans by some on this platform is unacceptable
I grew up in a largely Irish-American community in the Northeast and many Irish-Americans are not only proud of their heritage, but extremely knowledgable about it
Many, in fact, make a point of visiting Ireland at some point in their lifetime. This includes former President Joe Biden, who regularly quoted Irish poets
Just because some Irish-Americans tend not to agree with Dublin's political trajectory doesn't make them less Irish or ignorant. Full stop

Data centers consumed 13 times more total water than tech bros claimed.
As of 2026, OregonLive reported “Google’s data centers gulped down nearly 550 million gallons of water in The Dalles in 2025. That’s nearly 40% of all the water consumed in the entire city.”
In the U.S., data centers use 21 times more electricity per sqft than factories.
A factory employs about 10 times more people than a data center for the same level of electricity consumption.

Objects were thrown as former US President Joe Biden and Jill Biden left Trinity College Dublin today.
Pro-Palestinian protesters had gathered outside, and Gardaí arrested at least two people.
Tbf “awards” like these have been meaningless for a while. Some seriously odious characters have these “awards” from uni societies because it’s the only way to get them to show up to give a little speech.
Doesn’t make it less embarrassing though
Previous recipients of the Hist gold medal award include former Irish president, Michael D Higgins, England’s Bob Geldof, the great Patti Smith, journalist Julian Assange and the legendary Desmond Tutu. So the laptop guy was the next obvious choice.

He skipped Leaders Questions to have a chat with this armer of genocide.
Very pleased to welcome former US President @JoeBiden and his family to Dublin.
We reflected on his strong Irish roots and previous visits, appreciating his lifelong support for Ireland.

Last year I spoke as part of a lecture series run by @thehist on Palestine & solidarity, with Rashid Khalidi, Louis Allday & others.
This year the welcome is for a man who manufactured the genocide.
All solidarity with our Palestinian students who had to witness this today.
Society if Biden announced his resignation in April 2023 to retire in Ireland
Former US president Joe Biden has made an unexpected appearance at Trinity College Dublin.
He is there with his son, Hunter Biden, who is receiving a gold medal at an event organised by The Hist, one of the university’s debating societies. jrnl.ie/7221452
