Every day I see another post on FB from someone telling Indy supporters not to vote SNP on the Holyrood list vote. It’s so frequent I’m starting to think it’s Unionist bots. The SNP aren’t polling as highly as they were in the constituencies. They may well pick up list seats. If the votes are there.

There’s a million posts like this, but they are all saying the same thing. America, there are masked secret police on the streets of your country. They believe they are above the law and cannot be held to account. This is not tolerable in a modern democracy. Please do something about it.
This photo was taken just as the ICE agent killed a 37-year old American citizen and mother who had just dropped off her 6-year old daughter at school. The officer is not in danger and was not injured. There is no riot. (Trump lies.) He is standing at the open window and killing the woman.

@criticalrole.bsky.social Episode 7 part 1: could someone advise Brennan that the Saltire (the flag of Scotland and by some distance the oldest national flag in the world) is pronounced to rhyme with ‘fire’ and not with ‘fear’? 🏴 (Apols if I am the 257th person to say this)

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... No, you absolute midden. Changing the words that came out of your mouth is exactly what they didn’t do. They put actual words that did come out of your mouth next to other actual words that came out of your mouth 50 minutes later.

Just like everything else relating to this loathsome man and his fascistic party, this is based on lies.
Reform is taking aim at the European Convention on Human Rights. “This,” it says, “is how we reduce immigration.” But is this reality? In short no, not remotely. Here are the facts. @goodlawproject.bsky.social goodlawproject.org/nigel-farage...

"The situation is shameful. Patients are being failed. It’s time to act." Our response to the Royal College of Physicians' survey on so-called 'corridor care' can be found here: rcem.ac.uk/press-releas...
Corridor care is now a year-round reality. Almost 3 in 5 physicians reported delivering care in a temporary space over the summer, according to our latest snapshot survey. We’re calling on the #NHS & governments to address & prevent this practice for good. 🔗 ow.ly/g4aj50XeLFL

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future: We are noticing. From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.
She and her husband ought to be arrested, tried, and likely imprisoned. Her peerage is a very secondary issue in comparison. The SNP suffered a 4-year investigation and multiple arrests over £666k in party donations. £121m of public money stolen here, and not an arrest or a murder tent in sight.
More than 60,000 people have signed a new petition within 24 hours calling for PPE-scandal peer Michelle Mone to be stripped of her peerage and removed from the House of Lords www.change.org/p/strip-mich...
Think about it - when was the last time Keir Starmer (or anyone in the Labour Party) said something positive about Scotland?
Keir Starmer: “Think about it- when was the last time Nigel Farage said something positive about Britain’s future? He can’t. He doesn’t like Britain. he wants to turn our proud country into a competition of victims. “

How can you lead a "progressive fightback" against the far right when you've spent the entirety of your time as Prime Minister appeasing Nigel Farage, normalising his anti-migrant hatred, and sucking up to Trump? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Vaccines do not cause autism. "One notable study from Denmark looked at more than 650,000 children born between 1999 and 2010 to see if the measles‑mumps‑rubella (MMR) shot could be linked to autism." ... It wasn't. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/h...
Now, I wasn’t there, and I don’t know what happened. But nonetheless, Douglas Ross is exactly the sort of man I would expect to make a vexatious complaint about ‘bullying’. Partly because he has a history of being a bully.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Defibrillation (an electric shock) can only restart a heart if it has gone into a specific, disorganised rhythm. If you have died because you (for example) bled out, shocking won’t do anything at all.
What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? There’s only a limited number of metaphors that work for the Trinity and we have an annual rite of passage where we abuse all trainee priests by forcing them to try and find a new one

What a great Idea. Over 300 years of this equal partnership run by England. Next 300 run by Scotland with same number superiority as exists for England, at present. #ScottishIndependenceNOW #ScottishUDI #FreeScotland #EnglishImperialistsOUT
If the Union is so great, let’s try things the other way around: England and its revenue and resources managed from Edinburgh . .

We paid 37 pence a day to belong to the world's most successful peace project. Then Putin bankrolled Brexit and now we are back at the precipice of war in Europe again. The only good Brexit is a dead Brexit. brexitrage.com/the-only-goo...
Can’t post on the original thread. However, the truth about JKR is that she is absolutely unable to admit she was wrong about anything. If challenged, she invariably doubles down. Eventually she became thoroughly nasty. She did the exact same thing with her opposition to Scottish independence.
I'm not sure what's the most graceful way to say this, so bear with me. Some of you have reached out for my thoughts about the planned "Harry Potter" television series set to debut on HBO next year. (long thread)
