Paul Murphy 🏳️‍⚧️ @paulmurphy_TD@respublicae.eu

Re I know @Bolshetrick has done great work in workplace rank & file organising and bringing workers and trade unionists into the socialist movement.
If that experience and the lessons from it could be spread across the US, I’m sure it would greatly strengthen the DSA.

This was very funny. Just out of nowhere in a debate on housing, giving out about the campaign against water charges and "the likes of Paul Murphy".
They are still hurting from that one.

Cian Ó Concubhair: He also couldn't resist attacking @paulmurphy_TD for the Water Charges movement: one of the most important and successful democratic movements in the history of the Irish state
Of course, people like Jim Power want this kind of water 'market'

Narrator: A majority of people boycotted the water charges.

Jonas Dalin: @paulmurphy_TD People are hurting Paul, a majority of people in this country are willing to pay a fair share for water use, just like citizens in other EU countries

Solidarity with Hugh Lewis.
He is being targeted because he has stood up to the anti-migrant lies and propaganda being spread by far-right agitators.

Re @helerina That's a picture of me sitting down.

Re @soundmigration They changed the settings without telling anyone. I changed them back, then I got a notification from twitter to say they had changed them back again and I had to go into settings again to reverse it.

Re @Breandn Subsidies for sexed semen, yes. But that isn't answer by itself because it just means the dairy herd will grow more and more rapidly.
So we need plan to reduce the dairy herd, for climate and biodiversity, while ensuring small and medium farmers are guaranteed a decent income.

Re @Begos7777 'I' is a pronoun.

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/paulmurphy_TD/status/1680149533001412609

Re @Begos7777 Correct - he and him go together generally.
It's just saying I like people to refer to me as he or him when they're not using my name and using a third person pronoun.

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/paulmurphy_TD/status/1680153562989428739

Re @Begos7777 @coconutlulz So people know how I like to be referred to.
I presume you would assume from how I look that I use he/him. That's fair enough.
But by people like me (cisgender people) saying my pronouns, it helps to normalise it for people who others might make wrong assumptions about.

Re @Begos7777 @coconutlulz My gender identity (man) corresponds with the sex I was assigned at birth (male).

Re @Begos7777 @coconutlulz I'm not sure you know me well enough to know that!

Re @Begos7777 @coconutlulz Personally I think gender is a spectrum.

🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/paulmurphy_TD/status/1680157361305001985

Re @Begos7777 @coconutlulz I'm telling you I think it's a spectrum so it's not possible to say there's x number of genders.
It's like asking how many colours are there.

Re @ethicalfarmIE @HollyCairnsTD @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD @EamonRyan @pippa_hackett Sorry this was badly phrased by me.
We are calling for a ban on live exports!
The point I was trying to make is that it isn't possible for it to be humane!

This would be a very cynical use of the scandal.

Re @JimmyQuigl93490 Scrap licence fee, scrap commercial revenue for RTE. Fund through a tax on the social media giants. 1% tax would raise 500 million.

Won't somebody think of the big corporations?
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Richie: @ejwalsh_ed @paulmurphy_TD @JimmyQuigl93490 Agreed. Utterly absurd that the biggest corporations in the world should pay 1% of their income towards broadcasting. Not as if they benefit in any way. Paul has gone too far this time.
