WATCH: Breandán Mac Cionnaith of Garvagy Road Residents Coalition speaking at today’s solidarity rally.
Courtney Eliz retweeted
UPDATE:
The Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition (led by Breandán Mac Cionnaith) will today meet with the Secretary of State Chris Bryant & the Chief Constable of the PSNI Jon Boutcher to discuss the ongoing situation at Drumcree.
The message is crystal clear - There will be no parade through an area where it is not wanted by the Residents.
In the middle of last night (at 4am) the Portadown Orange Order again attempted to march down Garvaghy Road but they were stopped by 3 police landrovers. (Residents were still out in force on the Garvaghy Road to prevent any parade).
The support for the Garvaghy Road Residents has been simply breathtaking with Political Parties & Organisations/Activists from all over the island of Ireland heading to the Garvaghy Road to stand alongside residents
Sinn Fein, People Before Profit, Aontu, SDLP and a whole host of smaller Republican/Socialist/Left Wing groups have all stood together on the Garvaghy Road with one voice.
There have been messages of support from U.S. Congressmen, the Basque Country, from Gaza/Palestine & a whole host of European countries.
Civil Rights activists from all around the Globe have expressed support for the courage of the Garvaghy Road residents.
This is becoming a seminal moment in Modern Irish history. A moment of change when those wanting a new, different and better Ireland have united together against the old injustices of the past.
Please continue to support the Garvaghy Road Residents. Stand beside them, message them, show them that you are all with them. Justice will eventually prevail...
✊🇮🇪

I can’t believe it’s 2026 and we are seriously talking about these provocative and triumphalist parades. This decision, if it stands, would bring us backward. Cooler heads need to prevail.
Garvaghy Road residents challenging a ruling permitting the Orange Order to march along their street have said they will seek to find out if PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher “misled” the ruling body.
The Parades Commission, which decides on contentious marches in Northern Ireland, ruled on the order’s application for the Drumcree parade, allowing them to walk down the largely nationalist road in Portadown for the first time in almost 30 years.

Seven MAGA frat boys at Cornell drugged and raped a female student and their punishment was to write a goddamn essay? Are you fucking kidding me?

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president we've ever had, and it's not even close.
Courtney Eliz retweeted
This is truly unhinged behavior from the President of the United States.
And I don’t want to hear “oh, it’s just Trump being Trump” or that he’s “trolling.” Enough. None of this is normal or okay.
Republicans cannot keep shrugging this off. Congress, the Cabinet, and everyone around him has a responsibility to stop enabling this dangerous behavior and start asking whether he is fit to hold this office.

This dude is losing his mind.
Can’t win a war but obsesses in AI like the unhinged boomer he is

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.
I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.
The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.
You know who has nuclear weapons?
Israel.
They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.
Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.
On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.
Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.
Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace.
Not escalating war that is hurting people.
This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most.
This is not making America great again, this is evil.

Just a reminder that no women in the @ITFglobalunion family is safe until there are true safeguards put in place. ITF General Secretary Steve Cotton poses a threat until he is suspended during an investigation because sexual harassment can happen at any time and in any space.
Courtney Eliz retweeted
An independent investigation led by a woman King’s Counsel is the minimum standard of justice and must be actioned now.
The longer this delay continues, the greater the damage to the ITF’s credibility, governance and standing as a Global Union Federation.

.@TSSAunion & GS Maryam Eslamdoust thank you for you support and for demanding that allegations of serious misconduct and harassment be investigated. To date the ITF has taken no serious steps to address the issues

Women, as a collective, will rise. Every attempt to crush women’s power only reinforces their resolve.
Moments like these reveal how much courage, strength, determination, wisdom and connection shape movements for justice.

We support and believe women.
Following a disturbing report by @novaramedia regarding a pervasive culture of misogyny at @ITFglobalunion, our Unite union branch called two emergency meetings today: one for women staff only, followed by one for all members.
Courtney Eliz retweeted
It’s surreal and deeply disturbing that an organisation which claims to defend workers’ dignity is now accused of enabling toxic misogyny, abuse of power, and a culture of impunity at the highest levels. Retaliation against whistleblowers and the suppression of accountability-NO
A disturbing report was published by @novaramedia last night detailing a pervasive and unchecked culture of misogyny at the @ITFglobalunion.
Staff members are calling for decisive action including holding leadership accountable for their behaviour.
