The more people who vote SNP first and Scottish Greens second, the more pro-independence seats will be won and the fewer Unionist seats will be secured. 👍

“Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” @ejeancarroll.bsky.social

Join Us: Paper Clip Protest
Let's all start wearing paper clips.
During World War Il, people wore paper clips as a powerful symbol of resistance against the Nazis.
Norwegian teachers and students attached them to their lapels, symbolizing solidarity that connected them just like paper clips hold papers together.
Today, we wear the paper clip for the same purpose. It acts as a quiet yet strong signal to others that we are united, that we oppose the takeover of our country by a petty tyrant, and that we are standing firm against the destruction of our democracy.
Wherever you go, when you see a paper clip on someone's lapel, you'll know you have an ally.

Not sure if the word is embarrassing to describe their constant whitewashing of Farage and his crew

Tom Hunter @onelifestand87.bsky.social · 1d

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

The UK is heading down a dangerous & isolated path in flirting with leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. There is a space for the SNP to seize the ground of multilateralism and respect for the rules based system - www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

As UK flirts with leaving European Convention on Human Rights, SNP must stand by the rule of law

The quest for Scottish independence must adhere to democratic norms and Europe’s rules-based system – international recognition matters

They're not returning home Clive because their homes have been destroyed. They're returning to find the rubble where their homes used to be. Significantly different Clive. They're homeless now. 😔

"We will remember the martyrs—those who died teaching, reporting, healing, mothering, surviving. We will carry their memory like fire in our hearts. And we will begin again." Read Ali Skaik, a 19-year-old from Gaza, on the ceasefire that will hopefully bring an end to genocide.
