"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," the pope explained. "Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro life."

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

Rent controls passed! homes are for living in, not for profiteering.

🚨BREAKING

40 years ago Margaret Thatcher abolished rent controls in Scotland.

The Scottish Parliament just passed a Bill introduced by the Scottish Greens, which will allow them once more!

This will keep rents affordable and offer safety and stability to renters. 🙌

If he doesn’t want to get attacked for being a racist then maybe he should stop being a racist.

Just another win for my collection.

Even without my broad dislike of what 'Your Party' is trying to be, it seems incredibly poorly run, and poorly thought out. I have no trust in the ability of the party to even function properly, let alone be a political force or run the country.

All the more reason to join @greenparty.org.uk

Three women are pictured smiling alongside the Scottish Greens’ lead candidate for North East Scotland, Guy Ingerson. Guy is holding leaflets that say ‘Green News’ on them. The sky is almost cloudless and blue. Flats can be seen on the left alongside trees lining the street.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

And now I see this on an LGBTQ warhammer FB page lol.
So, have my LGBTQ ork meme.

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Again, there was absolutely no need to take an evil decision, and yet this UK Government took an evil decision. It's just an evil government, I'm sorry, it's an evil government that has declared war on the LGBT community - my community - and I've never despised a government more than I do this one.

Daily record headline: MSP "put secret camera in parky toilet", with photo of Labour MSP Colin Smyth

The real threat to women has always been predatory men, not trans women, such as allegedly this Labour MSP.

Colin Smyth should resign now & Labour should get their house in order & deal with predatory men in their party before it takes a headline to do something.

Elected Gillian Mackay. Scottish Greens Co-Leader

Elected Ross Greer. Scottish Greens co-leader

A new era. 💚

Gillian Mackay and Ross Greer elected as Scottish Greens Co-Leaders.

Farage: I will deport 600,000 migrants in my first term Nigel Farage has pledged to deport up to 600,000 illegal migrants in the first term of a Reform government.

This is the most cruel thing I’ve ever seen Farage suggest, and that’s saying something.

To use a phrase a generally avoid, this is Hitler levels of absolute insane and evil cruelty. The fact that this is being reported on in such a normal tone is abhorrent and *evil*

As ever in this current era, if you put this exchange in your political drama script it would get cut for being too on the nose to be realistic.

There is absolutely no reason for these data centers to be on the public power grid, driving up costs and instability for the rest of us. If tech companies feel it's vital for these centers to be built, then those companies should arrange for their power - and pay for it on their own dime.

Comic. PERSON 1 [to person with white hat]: It’s so weird reading these 18th Century scholars argue about minor Biblical details. It’s like they’re an online fandom or something—They’ve developed this whole elaborate canon. [caption] It’s fun when a word’s usage goes full circle and, by analogy, lands back on its original meaning.

Why won't somebody do something asks second most powerful person in Holyrood after ignoring the calls from progressive feminists for years.

When it was those other sorts of women it was a personal failing...now that a conservative woman is harmed it's EVERYONES problem.

Now surely one of you clever clogs filled their consultation with ai commands

BBC news article reading: "UK will recognise Palestinian state in September unless Israel meets certain conditions, Starmee says"

Or, you know, we just recognise Palestine now without any strings attached

If I were, for example, the most senior Scottish Muslim currently in politics and had gone heavily to bat for this woman I might - personally, hypothetically, were I that person - be considering whether I'd jumped a gun, but then again I wouldn't do politically expedient bollocks in the first place

Told you.
People (eg Scottish Government) really DID NOT GET that the EHRC would use this Supreme Court ruling to make trans-inclusive services unlawful.

“Why are trans people making such a fuss?”

Because we saw this coming a mile off: it was the ENTIRE POINT of the For Women Scotland case 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Donald Trump's not welcome here.

Scotland should be ashamed of this.
