What you need to realise about the Realisation Festival
@Realisation2024: the Earl of Shaftesbury profits while he destroys Lough Neagh, the water source of 40% of the North of Ireland. Return the Lough to the people!
🧵 by the #SaveLoughNeagh Coalition & Slí Eile.
To participants of the @Realisation2024 festival: the Earl of Shaftesbury profits while he destroys Lough Neagh. Which is the water source of 40% of the North. The Lough must be returned to the people at no cost as reparations. It is only in his hands due to colonial violence
Huge thanks to Caroline Rowan for organizing our talk at Galway City Library on Thursday! @librarianintown @MichelineShSk

Climate Camp Ireland took direct environmental action yesterday in Leitrim - more power to them!
@SaveLeitrim & climate activists blocked drains with 100s of Sitka spruce saplings on Coillte peatland in north Leitrim.
Native broadleaf trees were then planted on the site of #ClimateCampIreland.

Looking for ways to cope with climate catastrophe? Come to the Climate Camp in Leitrim in August! “Solutions to the climate crisis must involve and benefit local communities." - Séamus Diskin of Slí Eile
“Climate action must involve & benefit local communities" & must not use "the same industrial, profit-driven approach that causes climate breakdown & that sees nature as a resource to be exploited."

One of the very worst examples of “FK you” footpath parking we’ve had sent to us in a while. This is just down from killester village home to the @IrishWheelchair and @centralremedial and Mr.Porsche feels that the footpath is theirs. Enraging! 🤬
Enlightening article by Róisín Kilroy in today’s Galway Advertiser on lack of accessibility for disabled people in Galway. Fair play to Access for All members Yvonne Fahy, Gina McNamara and Eamon MacGiobúan for speaking truth to power! advertiser.ie/galway/article…
Sen. Warren is right!
Right-wing extremists have hijacked the Supreme Court of the United States. We must #ExpandTheCourt to rebalance it and defend our basic rights, including the constitutional right to an abortion.
Wow! Three cheers for @MichelineShSk on her election with BSBI. It's quite an honour and achievement, and we're honoured to have her as our neighbour. Huge congratulations!

Thanks @StreetStories12 for telling this streak story! I can assure you that @mmontecalvotv and @JohnnyVillella are also super dedicated. They definitely have a streak for being good at what they do!
Providence teacher at the @360_HighSchool has a cool streak going....she’s run atleast one mile, every single day, for the past 3 years!
You’ll meet Ellen Foley and her proud husband @FitzProv Friday on @wpri12 #COVID19 👟
You'd never know from this Irish Times headline that Joe Biden and the Democrats are actually in the lead: "Donald Trump claims victory and fraud but US election too close to call" C'mon, media! Don't contribute to the chaos.

Here’s what we’re NOT gonna do: give up.
We don’t give up when people need us most. That’s not who we are.
Our democracy is at a faint heartbeat; it was broken even before Trump. But so long as we can save lives, I believe we have an obligation to do so as we build a new world.

Now is not the time for cynicism or hopelessness. There is and continues to be political possibility to preserve our democracy & move forward.
It will require each & every one of us, from the streets to the Senate, to grow in courage, strength, and strategy. But it is possible.
From her campaign against cyberbullying and her prominent voice in the #MeToo movement to her sensitivity in the death of Linda Tripp and 'winning the Internet' with her 'I have a joke' tweet, Monica Lewinsky is a class act. Thank you, Monica. @MonicaLewinsky
