“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Don't threaten us with a good time, Daily Express.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

Pretty much all of the abuse we've had online over the past decade is because we don't wish harm on anyone else.

Green Party Conference 2025 just passed a motion that would Abolish Landlords! Through a programme of unprecedented council house building, taxation and housing those who need it, a Green government would eliminate profit from a human right. Housing for all.

A Green government would proscribe the Israel Defense Forces as a terrorist organisation. The forces currently actioning war crimes and genocide upon the people of Gaza on behalf of the Israeli government. This must not be allowed to continue. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 @greens4palestine.bsky.social

In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments. 224 YEARS. This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change. We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

After clashing with Maurice Glasman recently, I've come to realise just how pernicious he and his Blue Labour movement are. We could discuss his chumminess with Steve Bannon and JD Vance, endless pandering to the far right and evident hatred of the Labour left. But there's something even worse. 🧵

The Labour Chancellor declares herself an eternal friend of a state committing a live-streamed genocide. We are ruled by moral disgraces who are criminally liable for aiding and abetting one of the worst crimes of our age.

I’m sorry, but Sex Matters is an extremist hate group. Here is Maya Forstater complaining that the updated Scottish schools guidance that bans all trans pupils from gender-aligned toilets is STILL not good enough, because it doesn’t mandate “outing” trans kids. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Imagine if the Deeside and Buchan lines were still open?

🚨 Unite refuses to nominate any candidate in Labour deputy leadership election Britain needs change, not more of the same. Workers are leaving labour in droves, tinkering will not stem the tide. This election does not offer the alternative that Britain needs. For everyday people, it's irrelevant.

Labour, Reform, and the Tories have imported Trumpian culture war tactics to attack the LGBTQ+ community in our country to stoke hatred and division. The Scottish Greens will always defend human rights for all. 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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

Good. But this must only be the first step. It doesn't end Labour's complicity in the ongoing atrocities in Palestine. UK-made weapons are used, UK forces train Israel's army, and Israel's president is welcomed to Downing Street. We urgently need an end to the genocide.

So many people across the country are struggling. And they're rightly angry at a political system which has failed them. With a new generation of leadership across the UK only Greens will deliver the transformation that our country desperately needs. 💚 greens.scot/join

Best rabbit name

As one of the ‘big 5’ Eurovision broadcasters, the BBC carries a loud voice and should use it to join others in speaking out against Israel’s inclusion and joining the boycott.

Labour have blood on their hands. Throughout the atrocities they've armed and supported the Israeli military. Just last week they denied this genocide and rolled out the red carpet for the Israeli president. Governments must take every step they can to end the destruction.

How do we fix this mess?

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Far right organisers in this country consistently side with foreign billionaires over our democratic institutions. They are not patriots. They are quislings.

European Hare (Lepus europaeus): This large hare species is native to Europe and Asia. It is a mammal of open country. A herbivore, it feeds mainly on grasses and herbs. Primarily nocturnal, during the day hares hide in a depression known as a "form". Super photo taken by Graham Bannister in the UK.

Keir Starmer welcoming the President of a genocidal apartheid regime. This should haunt him for the rest of his tenure.

We've all experienced having to stand in a packed train while first class sits completely empty. It makes no sense to divide up our trains like this. Our railways should be welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all. It's time to scrap first class and return those seats to use.

Every day, somewhere between 10 and 20 times as many Palestinians are slaughtered by Israel. It's not just that they don't get these messages of grief and condemnation from British politicians. British politicians continue to arm their murderers.

With all the health benefits of plantbased diets. Never forget who you went vegan for 🐮

This EHRC guidance is designed to push trans people out of public life, making it nearly impossible for them to leave their homes. And this onslaught doesn't just hurt our trans siblings. Cis women who don't conform to gender stereotypes are already under attack too. UK Ministers must reject it.

Rayner is gone so where is the media outrage at Farage and his taxing dodging scams? Home bought in his partners name avoiding stamp duty, GB News pay via a company to avoid 40% tax rate on his 92k pay from them.

If a country is boycotting fossil fuels from autocratic sellers on ethical grounds, then they should also be boycotting fossil fuels altogether, for ethical grounds burning a barrel of oil causes far more damage to human life and to democracy than buying the stuff from demagogues archive.ph/nCdn7

The Green Party is clear: Trans Rights are Human Rights Solidarity for a select few isn’t solidarity at all. We stand with everyone. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

My old mate Clarky making a very valid point here.

People are being lifted by the police for wearing t-shirts featuring the words 'Palestine' 'Action' The scumbag holding this sickening banner wasn't lifted on the day and has since not been lifted since...

Have you donated any vegan essentials to a food bank recently? Plant milks, beans, cereals, rice, oats, pasta, tinned fruit etc?

Together, we can cut household bills, tackle the climate crisis, and build a better Scotland. Be part of the movement. 💚

Most “conflicts” with wildlife are bins tipped over or shrubs eaten. Hardly justification for extermination.

The UK does not have a "migrant crisis" or a "small boat crisis". It has a racism crisis, and it has been deliberately created.

Fucking awesome. With a few blasts of red spray paint you can turn the English flag into the Dead Kennedys logo As the band said: Nazi punks, fuck off!

Still in Scotland so today’s it’s “Mon the Dons!”

Westhill Welcomes Refugees, Not Racism! Community groups and residents are gathering on Saturday 23rd August, 5-7pm, for a peaceful event outside Hampton Hotel on Straik Road, Westhill. There will be food, music, colourful banners and messages of support for the people living there. Come along!

‼️SCAM ALERT‼️ The new BlueSky account Rabbit Angels Rescue (rabbitangels dot bsky dot social) is FAKE! All of the photos were taken from the Facebook page of Clement Rabbit Rescue which is a legit rabbit rescue in the UK. My human reached out to Clement to confirm. REPORT AND BLOCK!

🤑Executives at FTSE 100 companies are now paid 122 times more than the average worker. 💷This level of wealth isn't inevitable, and it certainly isn't deserved. ➡Scottish Greens would introduce salary caps and pay ratios to reduce scandalous levels of inequality.
