The far-right in Aberdeen really are pathetic.
Threatening council staff when they were putting up Christmas lights last week, followed by 25 weirdos intimidating parents, teachers, and bairns outside Seaton Primary School today.
Asylum seekers and migrants aren’t the problem; bigotry is.

I was lost for words yesterday during Trans Day of Remembrance. The EHRC guidance, transphobic but also deeply misogynistic, and the Herald political awards… the timing was something.
Warm words won’t cut it. People in positions of power need to take action.

We don't need to "protect our borders"
Our biggest threat doesn't need to cross a border to harm us.
From a yacht, billionaires can move markets, pressure govs, dodge taxes & bankroll politicians to rewrite our laws.
The threat isn't the "outsider"
It's the concentrated power already inside.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country
A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

🚨 BREAKING
The SNP have just blocked our motion, confirming they no longer oppose the Rosebank oil field application.
If Rosebank goes ahead it'll be a grave act of environmental vandalism. This is a huge step backwards for Scotland's climate action.

Today the Scottish Parliament will vote on our motion opposing Rosebank.
The oil field would release a massive 250 million tonnes of new carbon emissions into our atmosphere, 50 times as much as previously admitted!
We must put people and planet first, not corporate profits.

These highly intelligent beings, capable of complex problem-solving, play, and dreams, are being captured en masse and sold for profit.
If octopuses are truly recognised as sentient, as the UK government claims, then this should be a scandal, not a celebration 🐙

This is the real legacy of For Women Scotland: mass harassment of women, overwhelmingly cisgender women, from people embolded by transphobia.
A new report from TransActual looks at the impact of the 2025 EHRC interim update on access to, and experiences within, gendered spaces in the UK.
