Robert Kirk was the person who inspired the phrase "away with the Faeries" He lived in Aberfoyle 17th century Scotland. #fairy #supernatural #walks #trees

Yes indeed! #trump #fascist

Let’s hope that @anassarwar.bsky.social sees this. We’ve seen through him. Just a huge pity that he’s supported by the collusion of the “Scott-ish”’media.

Don't repost this. It upsets Elon Musk.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp owns this right wing propaganda machine so, yeah...

Yes! So pleased about this, and happy for the young people. We did this, lived and worked in Northern Spain for two years to escape the worst years of the tories in the nineties, and so worthwhile! Go do it!

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

Even MAGA can't keep up with Trump's lies.

#Cockwomble #OrangeMenace #FelonTrump While Trump did quite a lot of awful things in the span of a month, he did not manage to keep his promise to lower the cost of eggs—or anything, for that matter. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Outcry as Trump withdraws support for research that mentions ‘climate’ - US government stripping funds from domestic and overseas research amid warnings for health and public safety #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's easy to blame the system, but no amount of reform can make up for proper funding. Tax the 1% and fund our NHS! Latest regressive NI increases have cost NHS and councils a fortune. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Is Anas Sarwar so desperate that he can't see the visuals of this? Labour are past even grasping at straws in Scotland if they thing replicating Elon Musk will save them! www.thenational.scot/news/2495415...

Explaining why #isreal is getting weaker following the #Gaza #palestine #genocide

Yes because #trump is a #fascist.

🇺🇸 Hmmmm... So.... #UkrainianView #US #USA

Ukrainians inside the country and abroad express their hopelessness, anger and defiance at negotiations between Washington and Moscow www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

#UkrainianView Sounds crazy, but it looks like in Russo-Ukrainian war, the USA capitulated first. The end of Pax Americana. The disruption of the western unity. The balance of power has shifted - exactly what putin wanted to achieve. Ukraine is the only true shield Europe has. Don‘t lose it.

Water companies are pumping sewage in our sea and taking record profits. Labour refuses to nationalise them. In the exact same way he won't tax the wealth of the 1%, blames migrants & cut winter fuel for pensioners. Is it any surprise they're tanking?

I'm boycotting the apartheid regime in Israel. Are you yet? #humanrights #palestine

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States. It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

This is what Kremlin officials were saying 4 days before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Did Chamberlain serve up Czechoslovakia on a platter to Hitler while also demanding his own access to the country's resources? No. Trump is no Chamberlain. What he is doing vis a vis Ukraine is much more villainous than that. Whatever we say of "appeasement," its intent was to limit war.

A rise in immigration has benefited the economy in Spain. Right wing politics is about 'the economy' - it's simply racist. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

How would you vote if we had PR? Repost for larger sample size! Answer below 👇

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

“Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes,” Timothy W. Ryback writes in a step-by-step account:

Zelenskyy challenging a US official to join him in a visit to an active frontline is iconic. Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.
