Gary Gibbon #C4News says that Labour have briefed activists telling them not to cry on camera if the results are bad

This deserves to be circulated. A former Red Cross staff member got in touch. She testifies about @zackpolanski.bsky.social's role. For transparency: her name is Brea Thibodeau. The whole thing is a desperate smear.

If there's one key reason to support the SNP and indy for Scotland in thursday's election, this is it. Argue over finances, strategies, policies, but this single key fact presses all the buttons for me in indicating that we can do different and better running our own affairs . . #Scotland #SNP1SGP2

A re-elected SNP government will pilot a Scottish Artists Minimum Income, giving targeted support to artists and creative workers so they have the space to develop their craft, build sustainable careers and strengthen Scotland’s cultural life. Make it #BothVotesSNP tomorrow.

Please take a minute to watch this and repost.

🇺🇸 v 🇪🇺 food Listen to what this American says about what a US trade deal really means for our food and health. While talking about “reset” with Europe… Starmer’s government is opening the door to US 🇺🇸 standards. That’s how they’re trying to make Brexit work.

that's what I'm talkin about historians ...

Hegseth's repeal of universal flu vaccines is nonsense on so many levels, but his claim vaccine mandates were an "era of betrayal" irked me as a historian. Here's my response, in @thebulwark.com this morning; www.thebulwark.com/p/george-was...

Reading a lot about direct action at the moment & this -- expressed w beautiful practical clarity -- resonates with much of the walking, talking, holding, presenting, gathering & performing described by Diana Taylor in ¡Presente! & Sarah Schulman in Let the Record Show

Today in social justice toolkit: A dilemma action is a strategic action that forces your opponent into a lose-lose situation. You've given them only bad options. I give some examples & then we talk about how to design them. This one's pretty important. Read and share, please?

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The aquisition of the week needs some conservation but generaly OK , this is one of the corner stone surgical references in English and also the reason that people think they can catch STI's from toilet seats

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. This is no joke. Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Could This Actually End Citizens United?

I still don't have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well.”

Heseltine correct. Unfortunately, the govt listens to Farage rather than Heseltine.

Michael Heseltine says Brexiteers sold Britain a “pack of lies” and called for the UK to rejoin the EU. He said the UK should be “at the heart of Europe” and that returning to the bloc would be “in the best interests of a generation of young British people”. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Hard to argue with this humanitarian logic.

I've spent three days in Calais & it's horrendous. People living in disgusting conditions. Our Government is spending £476m on the militarisation of the border. We must divert that money to a humanitarian response that treats people with basic dignity. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Here is Pete Hegseth, on several occasions in 2016, lauding the military "ethos" that means they will refuse to follow unlawful orders - which he reckons is treason, now that they are his orders - because "there have to be consequences for abject war crimes". Deserves to go viral.

As soon as a UK government of any party appoints a brown female politician as a Home Secretary my heart sinks because I know the only way she has reached that position is a willingness to cheerlead the most racist , cruel inhumane policies that no senior white male MP would dare to announce.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Sounds like a great turnout motivator.

Trump - the king of fake news and hypocrite extraordinaire - has the gall to welcome someone else’s resignation… we’re talking about a man convicted of rape and of tax fraud - who did not resign and never would. Incredible. And btw, I resent his interference in our media and our country.

if you worked for teen vogue, in any capacity, i want you to know that your work inspired me and made a difference in the world. it really did.
