The interesting thing about capitalism is that it's entirely incompatible with the future, so we've just decided to get rid of the future and keep capitalism for a short while
I've just signed this CATU petition calling for an end to evictions and a ban on corporate landlords. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/st... @uplift-ireland.bsky.social

We welcome the move to tackle cold, damp rentals with BER Standards Bill. A poorly insulated home is like a leaky sieve and renters are throwing money away to keep their homes warm.

Ireland has exported more than €97 million worth of dual-use products to Israel since October 2023, the Department of Enterprise has confirmed.
I guess our hostility to data centres is "the manifestation of [our] eternal struggle against the great western capitalist evil"🤣
We're against this system that impoverishes people, while funneling more & more state money into the enrichment of big tech billionaires.
Elon Musk’s fascist turn isn’t puzzling at all.
It’s all about labour 🧵
Never, EVER accept the lie that this is somehow a 'forest', just because there are trees: it's not. A real forest is 1,000s of diverse species, all intricately connected.
By contrast, what you're looking at here is one face of the death of nature, covering around 10% of Ireland.
The European Union decides to ignore and suppress a report commissioned from its own Human Rights expert.

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.
New polling on American attitudes about the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO:
Overall: 68% say it was unacceptable, 16.5% acceptable

Another instance of the far-right attacking the left during this election, this time physically assaulting one of our canvassers and pulling out a weapon.
Not once have they gone after government parties—they are stooges for the status quo.

Young people can be the tipping point in this election.
We can End 100 years of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.
To do that, you should vote People Before Profit number 1, and then transfer left.

FF&FG's economic model is Corporate Tax Haven Ireland, which they now fear is under threat.
We have a unique opportunity now to shift away from this, and actually invest in systematic measures to improve people's lives.

On the doors, people know what a joke these once-off payments are.
Ireland once had the cheapest electricity prices in Europe when the ESB was run on a not-for-profit mandate.
#ge24 #CostOfLivingCrisis
Solidarity with the workers!✊
Government have been preventing recruitment into our health service by stealth through their ‘pay & numbers strategy'.
Scrap the pay & numbers strategy. #KickOutFFFG
"if you're big business in this country, the economy works for you. If you're a parent of a child with additional needs, the economy does not work for you. The reason for that is because all of this is based on profit."
We need a left government that will take on the profiteering.

"We need an end to public funding of the greyhound industry. There has to be action by the government. We can't hear more words defending this industry which is based on profit and exploitation" #GE2024 candidate Paul Murphy TD (People Before Profit #DSW) banbloodsports.wordpress.com/2020/05/18/d...
Who’s behind a website and social media accounts ratcheting up support for anti-immigration candidates standing in Ireland? Set up in response to events in “the fall of 2022”, they’ve been seeking “digital canvassers” to back a list of candidates. dublininquirer.com/2...
A new study finds that growing demand from data centers could jack US electricity prices up 70% by 2029.
Hardship for those least able to pay. Slower economy-wide electrification. For what? Shitty AI no one wants.

There remains lots of ambiguity in terms of phrasing and words used by parties, but a basic snapshot below of where each party lies on cannabis reform.
#GE24
FF, FG and the Greens have encouraged data centres to be built across the land. Bad for the climate, bad for our energy system, and bad for people as it has massively pushed up energy costs. PBP brought a bill to stop the rollout of data centres - this Govt blocked it!
#VotePBP for climate action.
