As someone from a long line of Scots, this touches me so deeply.

Crowds have gathered outside the US consulate in Edinburgh to protest the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE.

Tapadh leibh to all the protesters who stand with the majority of Americans who are horrified by what is happening. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.

The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

Donald Trump’s push for new oil and gas drilling off the West Coast is an unlawful betrayal of the American people.

Trump is caving to Big Oil and opening the door to even more climate-exacerbated disasters.
