I read comments questioning why Scots wear kilts to Burns Nights, when Burns himself is never pictured wearing tartan
🇬🇧 Under the oppressive The Dress Act 1746, which was enforced for most of his life, Burns would have been imprisoned or transported to the colonies for the wearing of tartan 🏴

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

The #1 reason that Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022 was to stop Ukraine from succeeding as a capitalist democracy with real freedom and prosperity for their people.
If Ukraine achieved what Poland achieved before them, then this would have led to revolution in Russia within a decade.

If the UK media now do not apply equal harsh measures to Nigel Farage than they did to Angela Raynor, then they are complicit in
a) a Mysoginist narrative where men are forgiven and women 'should have known better' and

Latest figures out today show Scotland’s unemployment rate fell to 3.7%, and is below the UK rate of 5.1%.
If Scotland can do this with limited economic powers, imagine what more we could do if we had the full powers of independence.
