In 2009, I worked alongside profoundly brave Palestinian paramedics in Gaza.
It was during a 3-week offensive, during which over 330 children were killed.
The horror we witnessed, daily, was devastating.Years later, that trauma continues.
In Gaza, there is no 'P' in PTSD.

More Physical Distancing (
#CloseThePubs
, school closures don't equal school holidays, do the right thing by elderly communities and those at risk- stay at home), less Social Distancing. More than ever, social solidarity, care & community organising is needed. It is the antidote.

Yesterday I narrowly made my flight, late, at Dublin airport. As the plane took off I noticed- too late to take a stand- a man nearby in clear, silent despair. Adesina was being deported to Abuja, after 5 long years in the limbo of Direct Provision. Deportations from Ireland 1/2

A poignant message from the brilliant
@donnahsvuma
to asylum-seeking parents of children trapped in Direct Provision:
"You are not failures. The system has failed you".
The end of this unjust, hope-eroding system is so long overdue.

This is Shona, one of the many committed, courageous, hard working midwives on strike. She is also involved in broader social justice activism, informed by the same ethic of care. Join the solidarity march tmrw, for an Ireland in which real social care is valued, not undermined.

The absolute disconnect/ arrogance of media pundits who cite regional human rights violations to undermine our solidarity with Palestinians.
For years we have marched against state violence in Egypt, Syria, Iran etc because yes, we actually care about justice & rights for all.

May the family of beautiful Cormac Ó Braonáin be held in such deep love & may his hope act as compass for us all-"Young people are more empathetic & accepting than they have ever been before. We cannot afford to be complacent, we cannot afford to disengage"
