90 years ago today, anti-fascists and anti-racists defeated Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts in what became known as the Battle of Cable Street. Fascism is not inevitable. We can - and must - defeat it. They shall not pass! "¡No pasarán!" ✊

Answer - No. The Green Party has almost as many members as Labour and Young Greens is the biggest organization in politics for under 25s. We need a fundamental change. The Green Party offers it. youtu.be/8uLaadrAliQ?...

We have consistently found that antisocial behaviour primarily comes from a lack of healthier outlets. Our young people are growing up in a society that has cut back on providing for them, that has isolated them from their communities, and then questions why they might act out.

It's world animal day! Here are 5 good news stories for animals in Scotland.

The insistence on building things that harm our communities and environment rather than projects which support the well-being, things like community-owned renewables, is a political choice! news.stv.tv/west-central...

Good luck to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on the final week of his By-election down in London, what are the odds our By-elections are on the same day! I fist met Zack at the start of this year at a conference in Glasgow, where he helped convinced me to start getting involved with my local branch.

The Polls for the Midstocket and Rosemount by-election open in just under a week! remember to vote @scottishgreens.org and @laurenbirdgreen.bsky.social #1 on october 8th.

We believe clean, green streets and public spaces are essential for our local communities to thrive. If elected, a Scottish Green councillor would work hard to ensure that our community and local residents have access to a greener, cleaner and happier environment.

How Scotland is run & how power is dispersed matters. The SNP Scottish Govt proposals for reducing local government to potentially six strategic authorities would be the biggest centralisation of power seen in public life. This matters more than today's Scot Parl debate on indy.

We can't keep repeating the same failed approach. We need a major expansion of harm reduction and treatment services, including safe consumption facilities. We must ensure that people can access support quickly, safely, and without stigma, fear or criminalisation.

Happy Bi Visibility Day 💚🩷💜💙

Current proposals for hyper-scale data centres in Scotland would use over 1.5 times our total peak power use. That's bad news for communities, bad news for our environment, and bad news for our energy bills. 👇

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

Scottish Labour needs far more than Michael Marra before it will be taken seriously again. His support for further North Sea oil and gas development also shows us that Scottish Labour still looks backwards. greens.scot/news/reactio...

Are you wondering what exactly a green councillor could and would do for you and your ward/area? A Scottish Green Councillor would put you and your neighbours first, fighting for fair and affordable rent and housing and Ensuring our parks and streets stay clean and safe.

we were out this weekend again door knocking for our candidate @laurenbirdgreen.bsky.social getting the word out about the upcoming by-election on October 8th. we heard our neighbours thoughts and concerns regarding the Midstocket and Rosemount area and how we would help tackle them.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The campaign for independence must show the progressive need for independence. We can do that by pushing devolution to it's limits and challenging the Westminster establishment by cutting household bills, improving lives, and building a fairer country for all.

I grew up in the shadow of apartheid, and I saw first-hand how systems of oppression can become part of everyday life. I’ve also seen the reality Palestinians face in the West Bank. International solidarity mattered then, and it matters now. 1/2

Dundee University staff and students are fighting back against cuts and compulsory redundancies, and I’ll be joining them on the picket line on Monday morning alongside Dundee UCU and uod students against cuts. Universities are about people, students and staff, not cuts to jobs and courses. 1/2

Earlier today, the First Minister hinted that he would block any hyper-scale AI data centre applications before proper guidance is published. This is a welcome step. We must ensure that this pause works and that the guidance puts people and planet before tech bro's profits.

Scotland is facing a huge wave of proposals for hyperscale AI data centres, with enormous demands on our energy, land and infrastructure. 1/2

This afternoon's debate on hyperscale AI datacentres shows that far too many MSPs seem ready to vote for a fudge, instead of giving real clarity to communities. The Greens will keep putting the Scottish Government under pressure to put the country ahead of the big tech industry's profits.

Today we're bringing a vote to deliver a moratorium on hyperscale data centres in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament will have a simple choice. MSPs can stand with the communities they represent, protect our environment and our resources. Or they can fail to act.

Hello! I'm Lauren and I'm running in the Midstocket and Rosemount By-Election on the 8th October for Aberdeen City for the @scottishgreens.org I have lived in Rosemount for five years now, I truly believe that Aberdeen can thrive with the right care and live up to the potential l know it has.

Today we were out again door knocking for our candidate Lauren Bird We had some insightful conversations with people about what they would like to see from their green councillor. If you want a Councillor who will listen to the voice of the community, make sure you vote @scottishgreens #1

The Holyrood 6 plus two independents for the Midstocket and Rosemount by-election, including regular Aberdeen candidate Simon McLean who I am only realising in hindsight was perhaps surprisingly absent in George Street and Harbour - loves an Aberdeen by-election this lad.

Ballot Box Scotland@ballotbox.scot · 4w ago

Midstocket and Rosemount was just 1.9% between the SNP and Labour after transfers in 2022; I don't see any other party being a viable winner. With both parties struggling, by-election dynamics might favour Labour, but that requires them to make the top 2. If not, SNP may yet win. So, a tossup.
