For this reason, I’ve drafted an urgent open letter to #FirstMinister John Swinney. I am asking for individuals, groups and orgs to join me by being signatories. 4/

As a Scottish citizen, I’m deeply frustrated with the position we are in with limited foreign policy decision making. However, this should not stop us from holding our leaders to account, and making sure they bring our voices to higher platforms. 3/

Following the events of last night/this morning as we watched the #Madleen, I feel we have reached a critical turning point for the expression of international solidarity with the Palestinian people, and a condemnation of the Israeli government and all those who support them. 2/

Let’s stop Shein raising cash in London | Good Law Project There’s evidence Shein is powered by forced labour – let’s stop it listing on the London Stock Exchange

There’s evidence that the fast fashion giant Shein is powered by forced labour.

Shein already tried – and failed – to list on the New York Stock Exchange last year. We’re working with @UyghurStop to stop it listing on the London Stock Exchange:

“President Trump’s comments would, if implemented, amount to an alarming escalation of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. It would move the US from being complicit in war crimes to direct perpetration of atrocities.” -- Lama Fakih, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch

Widespread destruction in Gaza is no accident—much of it reflects a calculated Israeli policy to make Gaza unlivable.

Trump’s suggestion of “taking over” Gaza and further forcibly displacing Palestinians would amount to an alarming escalation in the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

yyyyyeah maybe we shouldn’t just “relax”

Trump says he’s ordering Guantanamo Bay to be prepared to host up to 30,000 migrants | CNN Politics President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he will sign an executive action ordering the federal government to prepare the US Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to house tens of thousands of migrants.

Less than two weeks and we are already at the "concentration camp" stage for the US. Not sure how else you can look at this to be honest.

Just did this as a fellow ME/CFS gal - and got ‘somnolent’ - a brand new word to me, but means ‘sleepy/drowsy/abnormally drowsy’ … couldn’t be more accurate for my 2025 plans 😭

NEW: Oxfam's global inequality report🧵

Billionaires gained $2 trillion in 2024, 3x the rate of '23.

At this pace we expect 5 trillionaires in a decade. While billions live in poverty.

In 1850, the California government banned the controlled burning that Indigenous people had been doing for centuries. The practice controlled the forest density, scaled down undergrowth, and promoted fire-resistant species. It reduced the severity, mileage, and overall number of forest fires. 1/5

Shein lawyer accused of ‘wilful ignorance’ over cotton linked to forced Uyghur labour

Hi, brand new here. Why is 90% of my homepage videos of either cats or topless men acting odd? I desperately need to change this.

7 January 1792: #OTD Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Women was published.

This text was hugely influential and is regarded as one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy.

With gratitude I am overwhelmed by the response
