I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

This isn't an attempt to free the Iranian people. Just like it wasn't an attempt to free Venezuelans last month or Iraqis in 2003.

The American empire takes what it wants and murders who it wants, aided by supine sidekicks like the UK.

The SNP & Labour are happy blaming each other for the lack of consensus on replacing the utterly broken Council Tax.

The only way to fix it will upset some very, very wealthy people. Both of their parties are quite happy with the poorest paying the price of keeping it in place.

Vote @scottishgreens.org in May to expand childcare hours for 6mo-2yr olds and provide free bus travel for everyone.

We've already delivered free bus travel for young people, a huge expansion of free school meals and the end of peak rail fares. That's the power of voting Scottish Greens.

There's nothing Christian about Reform's nonsense heritage proposals.

Jesus preached that hoarding wealth is sinful. He stated that we must welcome the stranger and love our neighbour, no matter where they come from.

Reform loathe these real Christian values.

🚫 Trump’s military out of Scotland!

Last week @scottishgreens.org led a debate to evict Trump’s troops from Scottish Government airports, including Prestwick, which has been used as a de facto US military base for years.

Every other party voted to keep them. Greens voted to give them the boot!

This was to be expected from Labour and the Tories, but it was genuinely disappointing that the SNP refused to stand up for Scotland today, in case it upset Donald Trump.

His military breached Scots law and abducted two people from our territorial waters just a few weeks ago. We must respond.

Trump is not an ally of Scotland.

He has a contempt for human rights, democracy and international law.

Yet, only the Scottish Greens are willing to send this fascist a message and kick his troops out of Scotland.
