    Old Irish rebel song "Oró, Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile" (about ending British colonial rule in Ireland and sung by Irish freedom fighters during 1916's Easter Rising and the Irish war for independence) being sung at the pro-Palestinian encampment at GW University.🇵🇸 (h/t @ZeinElAmine)

    Palestine's anthem "Fida'i" is sung in Dublin's Dalymount Park on Nakba Day as the Palestine women's team make history as the first Palestinian national side to play a football game in Europe. The sold-out solidarity game, organised by @bfcdublin, will raise funds for Gaza.🇮🇪🤝🇵🇸

    Bernadette Devlin's reply to being dubbed "unladylike" for punching Reg Maudling in protest of Bloody Sunday: "Unladylike? There's a young girl whose body was carried out of the Bogside this morning. She was shot in the back by the Paras. They didn't ask her if she was a lady."

    "The international community continues to fail the Palestinian people.... The first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate so far vain hope that the world might do something." - Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh 🇮🇪🇿🇦🇵🇸 at ICJ.

    Bernadette Devlin explains British "democracy" to William Buckley in 1972: "When we break the law, we go to jail. When the government breaks the law, the government changes the law." Changing inconvenient laws to circumvent illegality has long been a British government tactic.

    Stunning schoolboy error by this alt-right sockpuppet pretending to be Irish. Given his spiel, I asked him for a cúpla focal. Unwilling, he must've googled a translation for "no." but translator returned the Irish abbreviation "uimh." for "number" ("uimhir") rather than "níl".🤦‍♂️

    "The infrastructure of the state of Northern Ireland was created ... to ensure that the minority of the population who had democratically voted not to be in the British empire would never peacefully acquire sufficient power to ever again democratically vote themselves out of it."

    A thread for #BlackHistoryMonth celebrating the contribution black Irish footballers have made to the senior men's international football team. First up... Darren Randolph: Born in Bray to a US father and Mayo mother, he's the current first-choice keeper with 44 caps since 2012.

    Many unionists are under impression Irish language is heritage of Irish nationalists, republicans or Catholics only, but they're mistaken. Irish has unionist and Protestant history too. Even today, unionists like @ErvineLinda speak Irish. Here's a thread on some of that history.
