🚨 BREAKING: Filton 6 defendants have been given a "not guilty" verdict or "no verdict" by a jury on ALL charges. Not a single defendant was convicted of any offence. The jury also refused to convict Samuel Corner on the charge of committing GBH against a cop Via @RealMediaGB

This bastion of moral virtue has opinions about the Green Party. Just remember that as they continue to attack us. This is who they are. Mask is off.

9. We’ve become so used to all this that we hardly notice it. But isn’t it extraordinary? Almost everyone wants one thing, and almost everyone who represents us – whether in politics or the media – wants the opposite. Yet we tell ourselves we live in a democracy.

The Free Speech Union commissioned a "security" report on us, so we tested their security. Turns out - it sucks. We've now published the names of everyone who has donated to a FSU fundraiser, along with how much they gave and to which campaign. www.transbashback.com/fsu.html xoxo BASH BACK

i actually wish I could summon up some disappointment, but let's face it, a pathetic capitulation was absolutely inevitable and we all knew it.

We've all been there 🏝

"Debunking veganism" is such a bizarre concept. How do you even "debunk" the idea that we shouldn't exploit and harm animals for no reason?

Love and solidarity to Palestine Action hunger strikers their friends and families.

Scotland must always remain a welcoming country for migrants and refugees. It's not illegal to seek asylum and refuge here, no matter the circumstances.

What about the cost of living, should that?

Note especially the Daily Record, with their "oh that poor mum 😢" front page. Here's a fun memory: when I was a kid, a little gay boy who needed support, they were backing the evil, homophobic Keep the Clause campaign. You know they've never apologised for that? Plus ça change, apparently.

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case. She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

We need another referendum when Scotland wants it. Not when Westminster says so. Democracy is currently being denied to Scotland by the Labour Party.

Wearing rabbit wool is weird.

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.

BREAKING🚨 Campaigners were outside Dana Petroleum HQ in Aberdeen today to call out their contract with the Israeli government! We join the International Day of Action against Dana Petroleum & its owner the Korean National Oil Company (KNOC) - in Ulsan, South Korea, in Aberdeen, Edinburgh & London.

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.

Today we remember all those who have lost their lives for being who they are. Today and every day we stand with trans people as we work to build a more inclusive, welcoming Scotland. 🏳️‍⚧️

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

The Scottish Greens stand with trans people this week, next week and always. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

🚨 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.

Once you populist, you can’t stopulist

When was the last time anyone at the BBC had to resign for misrepresenting a leftwinger?

These highly intelligent beings, capable of complex problem-solving, play, and dreams, are being captured en masse and sold for profit.

Laurence Fox is never again going to be able to threaten to sue anybody for calling him, an increasingly overt racist, racist

It's grotesque

Even I thought this was one of mine!

This is the real legacy of For Women Scotland: mass harassment of women, overwhelmingly cisgender women, from people embolded by transphobia.

We think blanket, unjustified bans on trans participation in grassroots sport are unlawful. So we're going to bat for trans people in amateur cricket 🏏

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak". But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

Listen to 🏳️‍⚧️ trans people. 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people in a YouGov poll commissioned by @goodlawproject.org. 49% said they found it difficult to access appropriate toilets when out in public. This is a shameful human rights (and public health) emergency.

New Opinion Article: Your Party is a waste of time whatthetrans.com/opinion-your...

Scotland should not pay a penny! It was Starmer who rolled out the red carpet. He can't appease men like Trump and Vance while expecting it to be funded by the Scottish taxpayer. greens.scot/news/scotlan...

Donald Trump and JD Vance should never have been welcome in Scotland. They've shown complete contempt for human rights and international law, encouraged ethnic cleansing, and worked tirelessly to undermine democracy. Appeasement never has and never will work.

If you still view fascism as a specific set of policies and not an entire mode that all capitalist institutions switch to as a kind of emergency safe mode to protect private property, your concept of fascism is stuck in ahistoricism and lack of any material analysis!

Decades after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, can politicians please not second-guess expert safety assessments for football stadiums. Thank you. An Aston Villa fan.

The whole point of human rights law is that the Government can be held to account when they breach people's rights. If the Home Secretary doesn't like it, that's why she needs to hear it.
