    I came back to Twitter to defend myself from constant defamation by a certain person, but even defending my own reputation is not worth continuing to be here. You can find me on Inst*gram at AdventuresofSdF and Bl*esky and FB at SeamasBelfast. SdF Out.

    This is an attempted lynching.

    Shocking footage from the McDonalds carpark at Connswater in Belfast last night where far-right thugs were targeting non-white migrant delivery drivers 😠

    It snowed for a few days and we bulldozed a Lidl in Tallaght for bread…

    Irish people who stand against refugees are a national embarrassment. For generations Ireland’s sons and daughters have travelled the world, seeking refuge from hardship. We should be the most understanding.

    I dunno what else I’d agree with @JacquiLambie, but I thought this was the best summation I’ve seen anywhere about the situation around vaccines and passes. Australian politics tends to be very direct! Fair play.

    🌹☘️ On Mo Mowlam’s anniversary we remember a leader who was dedicated and committed to bringing people together and ensuring the voices of women and young people were heard above the din of tribal chieftains. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal.

    This is so powerful. This was the anthem of the civil rights movement here in Northern Ireland too. Solidarity from Nashville’s sister city - Belfast.

    No other NI broadcaster can afford Nolan, so there’s no reason why his wage shouldn’t be cut to help save regional news staffers and valuable young journalists.

    Let me get this clear - teachers who have worked their asses off to help pupils and parents through the pandemic are having their wages threatened with a cut by a DUP MLA who won’t even do the basics of her own job, like turning up for the day? Catch yerself on Michelle.

    April 2020 in the height of lockdown - Cressida Dick takes part in an organised mass gathering on Westminster bridge. She isn’t wrestled by her male colleagues or pinned to the ground. Stark contrast to the treatment of women in #ClaphamCommon tonight.

    Always mortified by Ian Paisley Jr and his cohort with their flags and 18th century fire and brimstone hymns. Sadly this is just a mirror image.

    In five years as an MLA, Pat Catney did more than some have done in decades on the blue benches. Breaking the veto on marriage equality and legislation for universal period products will change thousands of lives. I am utterly heartbroken to see this SDLP changemaker lose out.

    Nanny has been in A&E since the early hours. The small area she’s in has 10 full private bays & 19 elderly people on trollies out in the corridor. Staff completely overwhelmed. Don’t try to tell me billionaire tax cuts are worth it. Don’t tell me collapsing Stormont is worth it.
