🚨The European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas : “The free world needs a new leader” The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

I firmly stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

HAYES: “The United States siding with Putin against democratic allies will have massive consequences for global politics for decades to come.”

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

President Zelenskyy of #Ukraine is being deluged by - and retweeting - support from European leaders following the shocking #Trump thuggery in the Oval Office today. Europe is upping its game. One significant name missing from the supportive messages thus far: Keir Starmer.

JOHN SWINNEY ‘Scotland stands in full solidarity with Ukraine, and we will continue to unequivocally support Ukraine’s independence and territorial integrity.’ #SlavaUkraine

From the President of European Commission just now 💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

What happened in the Oval Office today was horrifying - but, as this piece says, there is now no denying the truth of Trump’s alignment with Russia. Everyone who values freedom, democracy and peace must stand full square with Zelensky and Ukraine. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

👉NEW -- BBC and Guardian editors held private meetings with Israeli General by Alex Morris and @john-mcevoy.bsky.social Exclusive: Former IDF chief of staff met with Britain’s top journalists to promote Israel’s war on Gaza. www.declassifieduk.org/bbc-guardian...

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. GOP leadership is now advising lawmakers to avoid holding in person town halls. Keep up the fight.

Brett Meiselas: Right now, we have a president and his billionaire oligarch buddy, who are essentially leading a coup against the United States from within. And I think people are looking right now for people to call this out for what it is every single day, unapologetically,

McCrone: The scandal few Scots have heard of.

This is big. Far-right troll site Guido Fawkes has always claimed it isn't subject to UK libel law as it's officially offshore. Today it conceded that it defamed Dale Vince, making clear it it's subject to UK law. No more dodging scrutiny. Staines will have to play by the rules like the rest of us.

Today Congressman Mark Pocan TOOK THE GLOVES OFF. “Donald Trump is full of shit…and he needs to get the fuck out of Mar-a-Lago and talk to real people. “Elon Musk is a grifter. He makes Donald Trump look like elementary school level grifter. This guy has a PHD in theft from the American people.”

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Last week, the new owners of the Observer wrote to tell me they would *not* be issuing me with a new contract. 🤷‍♀️ So...I want to say publicly that it was an absolute privilege to speak on behalf of my Observer colleagues during our strike. I don't regret doing so. And I learned so much from it. 1/

Well done again NHS Scotland - for getting the diagnostic test waiting times down! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/25/d...

Trump lies called out by Macron Trump at the end… like the worst toddler of all time Every day in every way ….. REGISTER TO VOTE AND USE IT if you want to live in a democracy

Every defence and security system we have is entangled with the US. Even GPS is wholly owned by the US Space Force. Our intelligence is automatically shared with the US, whose bases here are allowed to spy on our own citizens. So if the US is now an enemy power, the enemy is already here.

Murdered by Isreal😢😢😢

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration? I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for *meaningful* opposition to each. I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

SCG member Jim Osborne in the National today "If we have the resources to do something there will always be the money to pay for it if, after independence, Scotland has its own currency, central bank and inter-bank payment systems." www.thenational.scot/politics/249...

Europe has a solution for Starlink, it is faster and the quality is better. The IRIS 2 program. IRIS will make Starlink obsolete and provide permanent global coverage. The US, and especially Musk, are not needed. #IRIS #EU youtu.be/V-SXNVeNby0

On the 3rd anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion, Europe is in Kyiv. We are in Kyiv today, because Ukraine is Europe. In this fight for survival, it is not only the destiny of Ukraine that is at stake. It’s Europe’s destiny.

Remember This Folk's 👇🏻

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Some Russian guy claims that the Tangerine Tyrant was recruited as a spy by the KGB in 1987. They gave him the nickname: Krasnov, meaning "the red one". Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Let's start calling him Krasnov from now on... Krasnov.

Just trying to think of a country with massive bot farms that is desperately trying to suppress this story. Please read and repost 👇🏼

🚨BREAKING CROSSPOST AFTER DDOS ATTACK Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename ‘Krasnov’ Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief A former senior KGB chief claims Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman www.bylinesupplement.com/p/breaking-c...

I'm maybe an insignificant Scot, but as long as I live and breathe, I will never accept an English Crown or Govt.

🥀 Make no mistake - Labour’s disastrous PFI/PPP schemes left Scotland paying billions for sub par infrastructure. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 That’s why we scrapped it - saving the Scottish tax payer almost £8 billion. 😱 Now, rumours are circulating that Labour want to reintroduce it - no chance.

This is how it’s done.

What an oaf!! Trump is descending into astounding pettiness. He's saying 'you are with me or against me', and has gone way beyond playground bully. This is mafioso style behaviour.

This from four years ago... And back in the news this week.

We researched the BBC’s online coverage of 16 aspects of UK policy towards Israel and the pro-Israel lobby. The BBC is covering up how Britain backs Israel, and its complicity in genocide. 👇 www.declassifieduk.org/national-sca...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland should be able to do things our own way. Decisions to work with other nations on shared goals are positive, if voluntary. What the UK is doing with the Internal Market Act is not voluntary, and while we can't hold a referendum, the union itself is not voluntary... 👇

This timely reminder from Carole Cadwalladr. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

Having failed to exclude Zelenskyy, they sought to bully him. Having failed to bully him, they sought to bribe him. Having failed to bribe him, they sought to discredit him. Maybe they will get round him one way or another, but you can see how frustrated they are at him holding on.

Um...Is he okay?

Since putting up this crowdfunding page, the Daily Mail has sent us, through their lawyers (RPC), two defamation threats. A few points about them. 🧵 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...
