Thousands lined the streets in front of Belfast City Hall today to showed what this city is really like. A welcoming place open to all. ✊🏻❤️

No cars were burned
No houses set on fire
Nobody feared for their lives
Not much media coverage.

Fuck this shit. Media giving these few hooligans more time and attention than the massive anti racist demonstrations.

Marx: '“The English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life. He regards himself as a part of the ruling nation & becomes a tool of the English capitalists against Ireland, thus strengthening their domination over himself".
"The English worker cherishes religious and social prejudices against the Irish worker. His attitude is the same as that of the poor whites to the blacks in the USA. This antagonism is artificially intensified by the press & all the means at the disposal of the ruling classes".
"The Irishman does the same and sees in the English worker only the accomplice of the English rulers. This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the working class. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power". The alternative is class solidarity.'

@ciaranmak “You wouldn’t let somebody else speak for you” - Electoral Commission

A spoilt vote here is definitely a sign of dissatisfaction with the system denying the electorate a wider choice. It’s an active protest by people energized enough to go to polling station to make their voice heard, not an act of laziness or stupidity.

I don’t know who did this, but fair play to you!

I had missed that Renua had rebranded as the Centre Party. I mean, the name was red flaggy as all hell and the website reinforced that (imagery is so deeply USian right wing badness), but yeah, that simple rebrand info would have been enough. #irlpol

Betteridge's Law of Headlines strikes again:

"Are over 80% of new asylum seekers in Ireland arriving there from over the land border with NI?"

No.

Everyone: "lack of housing and the cost of living are my main concerns."
Politicians and news orgs: "immigrants!"
One follows the other because ✨that's the entire point✨

"Sunak: rise in asylum seekers in Ireland proves Rwanda plan ‘having impact’"

s/: Hm, IDK, #Rishi. As a descendent of a people that were colonized by the #Brits, did it never occur to you that the Torys destroyed #Britains's attractiveness with #Brexit so much, that not even #AsylumSeekers want to go there anymore for lack of a better life? /s

Sinn Féin critical of Fine Gael for being soft on Law & Order wasn't on the bingo card.

Less trivially, I expect at least one of D'Independents will be unable to resist the opportunity to sound a few dog whistles and blather about legitimate economic anxieties.

@faduda #IrlPol makes a lot more sense, yes!

@Lamhfada Can I suggest #irlpol as a more concise hash?

Interesting point in making the transition from #IrishTwitter to #Mastodaoine.

I made this post last night about a (really badly designed, neoliberal) survey on #ClimateChange from the Irish government on both twitter and #Mastodon at the same time.

Both have the same number of RTs/Boosts as of now. I wonder if Mastodaoine, #IrishMastodon is getting enough mass to make it a good place to share and discuss for #IrishPolitics. #irlpol

@lucyweirphd Hashtags? Though they're not used by everyone, aspeople got out of the habit, but they can aid search for topical news. Try #irlpol for Irish current events. Also #ukpol, #uspol, #eupol according to preferences. And of course for the big story this week, #eurovision and #esc
