Meet The Master Race "The chat wasn’t an aberration. It was a window. It showed you the culture Trump built, where cruelty is proof of loyalty, shamelessness is the coin of the realm, and the line between meme and mandate is paper-thin" @TheRickWilson open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Every successful protest movement has some people being annoying and obstructive and some being patient negotiators focused on winning hearts and minds. And every such movement has to put up with tedious people insisting that each of these strategies is unconscionable. The magic is in the mixture.

#Meniere's Describing the distortion in my almost deaf ear had always been easy. To me, automated telephone voice sounds like Mickey Mouse doing a broken mic skit in the distance. Ok got it. Nowadays... oh well can you not just use your good ear for phone calls. I need a new description.

Another corporate scandal. Almost all external insulation fitted under Tory scheme needs repair or replacing. 98% of the the 23,000 homes fitted with botched external wall insulation need repairs. Companies have vanished, people left with the problems.

'A civilised society is not measured by how efficiently it excludes, but by how fairly it treats all those who live within it – especially in times of need. Denying welfare to taxpaying residents based on nationality is not just legally indefensible. It is ethically unsustainable.' 👏

Farage says it’s about “the boats”. A Dutch migrant’s farewell in this letter to the editor proves even legal residents aren’t safe.

Secret BBC filming exposes hidden culture of misogyny and racism inside Met Police. Police officers called for immigrants to be shot, revelled in the use of force and were dismissive of rape claims. These revelations have been made before. Nothing changed. Any wonder trust in police is low.

Hitler continually tested the boundaries, seeing what he could get away with in terms of rhetoric, power grabs and assaults on other people. As Establishment resistance folded, he found he could get away with more and more. Trump is on the same path. 3/4

Can the BBC please stop reporting every stupid thing Trump says? They might say there's no evidence for his stupid declarations but it still lodges in people's heads. And plus, you know, this is not America.

Welfare reform 'must happen', UK minister says. Silence on corporate welfare. For example, Drax makes profits but gets subsidies. Silence on tax perks of the rich. Capital gains and dividends taxed at lower rates than wages. Welfare reform is a code for squeezing the poor, old, sick, disabled.

A new MyScotland story – To me, what matters is to show love, care and tolerance to others – is worthwhile a read! Beautifully written, diving in what we are and what it matters. Thank you Len! If you have your story please do get in touch be emailing [email protected]

Press release: European Movement in Scotland announces keynote speaker for its annual event | Martin Roche

14 years for red paint if you're an activist. Zero arrests for red paint when it's used to intimidate immigrants in our communities. Prof Richard Murphy re-examines the idea of two-tier policing. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @richardjmurphy.bsky.social

On a separate note, this is why we should ban voting intention polls (which will inevitably be used as justification by the broadcasters). Reform got a poll lead and started dominating news coverage even more than previously - reinforcing their political support. It’s a toxic cycle.

"There is much to do, but it begins with honesty, reflection, and the courage to move beyond tokenism towards genuine, justice-oriented practice. We carry a tremendous responsibility in shaping the future of our societies. Let’s not squander it with silence." ♥️👏

The last victim of this mania was a woman called Janet Horne, who was burned alive in Dornoch in 1727. Her "crime" was to have a daughter who had been born with unusual shaped hands and feet. Locals, therefore, concluded that Janet magically transformed her daughter into a horse at night ... 1/2

We spend so much time worrying about the future or ruminating on the past, and rarely in the present moment. When this happens, we miss our appointment with life. Pause and return to your breathing and be in the here and now. It is all we truly have. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊 #life
