Scotland bands funding for Israel's arms dealers. A bomb with a Scottish flag is scored out. Scottish Greens.

✅Scotland is to BAN funding for Israel's arms dealers!

Scottish Greens have long fought for this change, alongside @amnestyscotland.bsky.social, @oxfamscotland.bsky.social, and others.

@gordonmckee.bsky.social If the government can't stand up to Israel for the sake of Palestinian children, can you please stand up to the oil execs for all the children?

Starving Palestinians are being mowed down every day, simply for queuing for food. That is the real crime.

My speech against the government's proscription of Palestine Action.

The SNP have just announced that they will continue to fund Israel's arms dealers here in Scotland.

Since 2022 Scottish Enterprise has given arms firms linked to Israel nearly £3 million. Tax payers money should not be given to those profiting from genocide.

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

So if you don’t want to live in a world where writing an article like this becomes punishable by up to 14 years in prison - as it will be, the author notes, if Starmer gets his way - then the time to stand up and be counted is *now*.

Had the Suffragettes only engaged in peaceful protest,the state would have crushed them, & ironically Yvette Cooper wouldn’t be able to vote, let alone become Home Sec. We all owe a debt to direct action & unpeaceful protest.

David Lammy's response is absolutely disgusting.

I wonder if anyone else finds this as hard to watch as I do. I have such an urge to protect Miriam.

We stand with Quakers of Britain in condemning yesterday’s meeting house police raid.

Quakers have always held space for discussing moral issues. This raid is a violation of civil liberties and a desecration of a place of worship.

A full apology is needed.

Carbon capture plan is a colossal waste of money | Letters Letters: The government’s carbon capture scheme is an expensive distraction, argues Dr Richard Carter, while Kate Macintosh and Edric Brown call for a more far-sighted solution to curb emissions

"The only proven carbon capture is the fossil fuel industry’s capture of our media and politicians, as evidenced by this new form of fossil fuel subsidy." 👏👌

They're hanging up the hi-vis , but they've achieved their mission: no new oil and gas licenses is UK Govt policy .

So , top work Just Stop Oil– some may disagree with the method but they can't fault your motive .

The fight for a liveable planet continues .

Israel just blew up a hospital completely in Gaza.

There's no other regime I can think if that has targeted medical workers and health facilities as persistently as Israel.

Horrific, unceasing crimes against humanity.

Love it.

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

“Why don’t you say thank you”

Imagination is necessary for collective liberation.

We can only create a better world if we imagine it first.

Create. Dream. Wish.
Do it out loud.
As loud as possible.

That’s how you find those who share your vision, who you can work with to change the world, to make the vision into reality.

Do you have any kind of petition or way we can show support?

Such a brave man standing up 2 two playground bullies. King Charles needs to withdraw the invite and seize the golf course - Trump is ok with Putin seizing whatever he wants!

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such

Just 3% of Brits think Ukraine is responsible for the war.

Trump has lost all allies. Entirely.
