Mark Carney posts a solemn image of himself looking at a display with images of the people killed in the Nova massacre on October 7, 2023.

His post reads:
"The Nova Music Festival Exhibition tells the story of the brutal massacre
carried out by the terrorist entity Hamas on October 7, 2023. Young Israeli revellers came together that day to dance and celebrate,
and were targeted by inconceivable violence. I came to witness accounts of the atrocities committed โ€” and hear directly from survivors and families of those murdered and taken
hostage. We can't look away from this hate, or from the rise in antisemitism we've seen in Canada since. We will fight to protect Jewish communities at
home, and advocate for long-term peace and security in the Middle East.

Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, quote tweeting Mark Carney's post, writes: "Having the PM visit Nova is so important. It reminds Canadians how this war started. The massacre in Israel by Hamas terrorists. 8 Canadians including Alex Look from my riding were murdered. I know that Raquel & Alain, Alex's parents very much wanted the PM to see this directly."

Mark Carney just visited the Nova massacre exhibition.

"It reminds Canadians how this war started," a Liberal MP responds -- making it extremely clear that this exhibition is being used as a propaganda tool.

Exploiting a massacre to justify mass atrocity.

NOTHING justifies Israel's genocide.

TRNSMT are bootlickers. Hope you enjoy trying to process all the refund requests. Funny how Scottish Police can accommodate massive events like Taylor Swift but buckle here. Pathetic.

The most anti-immigrant Government of my lifetime. The most anti-LGBTQ+ Government of our lifetime.

Why, exactly, should I see Keir Starmer as worthy of being Prime Minister over the Tories he replaced? Why should I care if he loses seats to Reform?

It's the same people, the same ideologies.

As an immigrant, I can't emphasize how great it is to hear the Prime Minister talk about how much damage I've done to Britain. Seems he can do without me and my vote. Just as well I live in Scotland #youyesyet

John Swinney may be one of the most feckless political leaders in recent memory. He's had a chance to be on the right side of history but has chosen wrong at every step. I miss when the SNP stood for something.

Any attempt to enforce the EHRC guidance will inevitably result in police raids on gay bars.

That's the reality that Labour has inflicted on us. That's what the SNP have threatened last week saying everyone must follow EHRC guidance.

The chaos that follows will be on them unless they U-turn.

Just when you feel like you've been in Glasgow long enough to know what's what, you accidentally put on a "football" song in a pub. I'm sorry, TINA TURNER IS FOR EVERYONE.

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

No transphobic court ruling, no bigot in charge of NHS, no billionaire media can indefinitely hold back the fierce tides of love and joy and courage that is queer community and solidarity. These are the desperate gasps of a dying era, one we will survive.

As a cis woman, I am sickened at the recent supreme court decision. I shouldn't have to preface my opinion with my gender identity, but bigots need to know they don't speak for me. Trans rights are human rights. If you disagree, you can come say that to my face.

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isnโ€™t a win for feminism.

Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism.

The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

๐ŸงตFor Women Scotland crowdfunded ยฃ230,000 for this trial. I am going to tell you as an actual feminist what ยฃ230000 pounds could have done for women in the UK.

-Fund housing for women escaping gender violence for eg it could have paid two months of rent for about 160 women

I've always called for the protection of single sex spaces on the basis of biological sex.
This judgment gives clarity to women and service users about the protections in the Equality Act.
The SNP Government must provide clear guidance for Scottish public services so they can implement the Equality Act properly to uphold dignity for all.

we canโ€™t overturn a Supreme Court judgement at the next Holyrood election, but we can make sure this man never gets the keys to Bute House

The Supreme Court ignored trans voices. Iโ€™m ashamed of what our law has become | Good Law Project The Supreme Courtโ€™s decision to exclude trans voices has harmed trans people โ€“ and harmed the fairness of their ruling.

In this piece, which I am proud of and I stand by every word, I make two serious criticisms of the procedure that the Supreme Court adopted.
