findoutnow ensuring the Scottish Greens’ Canva subscription is put to good use

nationalism as in ‘people of my nation are superior’ and nationalism as in ‘the nation i identify with should have its own country’ are two distinct ideologies which happen to share a name

i went to the rapture and no-one knew you

really dislike that "Boriswave" used to be something you'd exclusively see being used by racist Twitter accounts but it's now made its way to the political mainstream, including today's Playbook headline

Wes Streeting wants to be seen as the man who brought sense to the ‘trans debate’ but what he’s actually doing is arbitrarily making trans people’s lives a bit worse in an attempt to appease people who want to see them eliminated

199 days is 28 (and a half) weeks, but they went with days anyway lmao

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

okay for real does Zack Polanski have a Deathnote but like for making people humiliate themselves

a support group lmaooooo

i went here exactly one during freshers week, and they both over-charged and short-changed me

i was about to get mad at, of all things, a cat show organiser for still running events in Russia, but it turns out there’s also a St Petersburg in Florida

“it’s clear the Scottish Greens cannot be the vehicle for radical left politics” says person whose vehicle for radical left politics drove off a cliff before it was even out of first gear

I think fundamentally, the ability to care about the rights of a small and vulnerable minority (of whom you might know no members) is an important sign of whether you are committed to human rights out of principle, or out of mere convenience.

also they are protesting mickey mouse here

"We stand in solidarity against bigotry, the far right and for justice for all." - Alyson MacKay (she/her) Glasgow Greens Co-Convener @alyson-mackay.bsky.social Sign the letter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/e8... @sgpwomen.bsky.social @scottishgreens.org

GPEW seeing a big spike in membership this month should bury all the complaints that having a strong pro-trans rights line would hurt their breadth of appeal. As if the continued successes of the SGP weren't evidence enough of that. Transphobia isn't popular or compelling on the left.

they’ve got the lawyers out lads, the ‘unity’ ship has very much sailed

quite funny that none of Graham Linehan’s shows are on here

i wonder if either this defamation suit or the ICO investigation will conclude before the elections in May

All the people who sneered at Polanski (and at the Scottish Greens) for not immediately promising to stand aside in favour of the mailing list that may never be a party might want to think about what's the most likely route to a meaningful left bloc in parliament at this point.

Next week we'll vote for rent controls in the Scottish Parliament. Not only will they help keep rents affordable during tenancies, but in rent control areas landlords won’t be able to increase rent before a new family moves in. It's time to bring skyrocketing rents to an end.

a victimless crime

is it because he’d get bad reviews?

i was imagining it going about 10% as bad as it has when i posted this

their Glasgow branch talking about a ‘rumour’ of infighting among Your Party MPs is very funny to me, as if all their infighting yesterday wasn’t extremely and embarrassingly public

did Zack Polanski pull a Demon Headmaster on the founders of Your Party

drawing Donald Trump embarrassed, a state of mind he is almost certainly psychologically incapable of experiencing

Good explainer thread on this chaos from @archimbaldo.bsky.social

no i mean it, you really shouldn’t have

Zarah Sultana just give up already and join the Greens challenge 2025

lmaoooooooo

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.

a good way to undermine the very concept of a human rights watchdog would be for it to introduce a set of rules that no-one follows and that are never enforced

all the artists are listed as Weird Al Yankovic (none of them are)

did they put Jim Murphy in charge of Welsh Labour while no-one was looking

he spent most of his adult life trying to make life unliveable for your daughter

it’s really funny they were writing the first kind about Liz Truss and she quit and they had to quickly pivot it to the second kind at the end

they think racism is an unjustified prejudice against people because of their race, and that their prejudices are justified

i think people forget how long Theresa May limped on for

notice how no one who actually likes charlie kirk quotes anything he’s ever said

Labour aides mad because if being gratuitously offensive about Diane Abbott is a sackable offence then any one of them could be next

getting a leak damaging to either Starmer or those who might be your key rivals if you wanted to replace him at an increasingly regular pace

£125,000 on the equivalent of the little message that occasionally interrupts hold music to thank you for waiting and how important they think your call is

only have to get lucky once, etc, etc

it’s so stupid we have to pretend everyone was ‘wrong’ about the law for 15 years and not just say the actual objective truth that the Supreme Court changed the law

this is always a highlight of door knocking

“No Surrender” - isn’t exactly the phrase i would have chosen to signal my disapproval of union flag waving nationalists

took a break from Silksong to touch grass and saw this Silksong-ass spider

all Starmer needs to do to stay in office is win people like this over by the local elections in May

Hey, say what you want about The Telegraph and their hard-right bent – they sure seem to like Morgan McSweeney! In fact, they think it would be disastrous for Keir Starmer to sack him, even now! Isn't that interesting? Shall we all ponder how interesting that is together? What could it mean?
