Mark Carney just visited the Nova massacre exhibition.
"It reminds Canadians how this war started," a Liberal MP responds -- making it extremely clear that this exhibition is being used as a propaganda tool.
Exploiting a massacre to justify mass atrocity.
NOTHING justifies Israel's genocide.

TRNSMT are bootlickers. Hope you enjoy trying to process all the refund requests. Funny how Scottish Police can accommodate massive events like Taylor Swift but buckle here. Pathetic.

The most anti-immigrant Government of my lifetime. The most anti-LGBTQ+ Government of our lifetime.
Why, exactly, should I see Keir Starmer as worthy of being Prime Minister over the Tories he replaced? Why should I care if he loses seats to Reform?
It's the same people, the same ideologies.

This Labour government is just a bunch of xenophobic cunts running after the votes of xenophobic cunts that will never vote for them anyway because they love that other xenophobic cunt called F*rage

As an immigrant, I can't emphasize how great it is to hear the Prime Minister talk about how much damage I've done to Britain. Seems he can do without me and my vote. Just as well I live in Scotland #youyesyet

John Swinney may be one of the most feckless political leaders in recent memory. He's had a chance to be on the right side of history but has chosen wrong at every step. I miss when the SNP stood for something.

Turns out She's All That is not a viable political campaign strategy. Good riddance.
lol holy fuck.
He’s held that riding for more than two decades. No way he can cling to the leadership after this.

Any attempt to enforce the EHRC guidance will inevitably result in police raids on gay bars.
That's the reality that Labour has inflicted on us. That's what the SNP have threatened last week saying everyone must follow EHRC guidance.
The chaos that follows will be on them unless they U-turn.

Just when you feel like you've been in Glasgow long enough to know what's what, you accidentally put on a "football" song in a pub. I'm sorry, TINA TURNER IS FOR EVERYONE.

No transphobic court ruling, no bigot in charge of NHS, no billionaire media can indefinitely hold back the fierce tides of love and joy and courage that is queer community and solidarity. These are the desperate gasps of a dying era, one we will survive.

The boundaries of womanhood have always been policed & politicised by the powerful & narrow minded: we have, & we will continue to, dismantle their world. We will make it new.
Beyond headlines & hate are people, trans & nonbinary people, whose very existence expands, reimagines & enriches our world

As a cis woman, I am sickened at the recent supreme court decision. I shouldn't have to preface my opinion with my gender identity, but bigots need to know they don't speak for me. Trans rights are human rights. If you disagree, you can come say that to my face.

Transphobe reasoning is like “you don’t understand - I just need to see their genitals to make sure they’re not a pervert”

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism.
Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism.
The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

🧵For Women Scotland crowdfunded £230,000 for this trial. I am going to tell you as an actual feminist what £230000 pounds could have done for women in the UK.
