Dan O'Brien Gavin Barrett now @profgbarrett.bsky.social There is no pay premium in the public sector (CSO) Private sector high-status occupations show higher average earnings, as do manual ones Clerical/service occupations show a premium but it's smaller than the gap among the other two groups (that favouring private sector workers)

Micheál Martin participated in PR stunt for Israel, suggesting an equivalency between damaged ceilings and the ongoing IDF campaign of genocidal violence in Gaza. Few, if any, of the people now criticising Catherine Connolly for visiting Syria as an observer during a war cared.

You cannot convince me that "Nick Delehanty" isn't some kind of performance art thing

As I've said 100 times, the purpose of Quinn & his fake Institute is to put a 'respectable' veneer on the far-right and launder its talking points and propaganda for a 'mainstream' 'centrist' audience.

terrorism has skyrocketed under his government; kier starmer MUST resign

Obsessed with this word salad that does not come even close to addressing the question. My mother! North east inner city! In terms of AI!

They droned a second boat. We’re still going to Gaza. Pressure the Irish government any way you can to support the flotilla and sanction the country attacking us

Saying “we must reject political violence in America” while actively funding a genocide is so ridiculous. These people are insane.

unfortunately none of your tweets will be as funny as when trump inevitably insinuates he's more manly for surviving a gunshot

"political violence" in this context means "violence towards people who matter politically". it doesn't apply to those outside the gilded circle, eg Palestinians, eg us.

"But he was a FATHER" is the most pathetic reason to ask for civility regarding a fascist's death... like okay, and? Those little kids are actually better off without an almost certainly abusive parent who views them as his property lmao

People saying how gruesome they find the Charlie Kirk video are inadvertently confessing that they haven't been watching the footage coming out of Gaza for the last two years. I've seen worse shit TODAY and I haven't finished my morning coffee.

Seen some people saying that nothing good will come of this murder, but here's something already

My actual prediction is that within two weeks Charlie Kirk will be totally forgotten by both sides. He was a mediocre hatemonger who offered nothing original, and there will be plenty of right wing grifters ready to step over his body to collect the racist propaganda checks.

“We must all be able to debate freely and openly” is crazy coming from a man who arrested over 1.3k in a month for holding pieces of cardboard that said genocide is bad.

Charlie Kirk is dead…and it is completely fine to not have empathy for someone who made an entire career out of refusing to show empathy for anyone else. People are not required to mourn bad people just because they were killed. Charlie Kirk reaped what he sowed.

okay seriously what is with all the national leaders weighing in on this why do any of you even know who the guy was

Was kind of worried he was going to waltz in like an anointed prince but he's an absolutely terrible and charmless speaker who has his first minor political gaffe blowing up in his face and has immediately gone to ground with only the Taoiseach for a spokesperson.

how it feels to be transgender and outlive Charlie Kirk
