“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

When Scots feel like this, you can tell we're confident about the future.

@bodhipaksa.mastodon.scot.ap.brid.gy I'm really looking forward to your new book

‘SNP Government praised for keeping your health data out of hands of Labour sponsor US spy-tech firm Palantir’ talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2023/11/20/s...

How do posts get blocked? I’ve gone to respond to something and found ‘blocked post’ but I haven’t blocked it

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

Yep. Water is the new oil

Scotland’s public services are essential - and we’re making them stronger. Your SNP Government is improving services so they are easier to access and ready for the future. Here’s our plan.

I want to live in a nation where every child can thrive. The UK government’s two-child cap is a cruel policy that holds us back and drags children into poverty. Where Westminster fails to act, Scotland leads - so we are ending the two-child cap from 2nd March 2026.

For those who haven't been paying attention (i.e. all of you outwith Canada, I expect), Parti Québécois are currently favourites to win next year's Quebec provincial elections, likely with a majority - the first time a secessionist party would have won a majority in Quebec since 1998.

Interesting

Why couldn't the Scottish Government save Grangemouth? Energy is reserved to Westminster. Why can't Scotland welcome more care workers from overseas? Immigration is reserved to Westminster. Why can't the Scottish Government tackle drug addiction better? Drug laws are reserved to Westminster.

We, the people, have spoken!

@weegingerdug.bsky.social just saying I’ve read your update on your mum and I’m sending best wishes to you and family

It would be quite helpful if people read articles and even checked facts before getting all het up and posting angry responses

The highly memorable peat smoke atmosphere at the superb Blackhouse Museum at Arnol on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles. The museum recreates a way of life that was once common across significant parts of Scotland. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland #Lewis #WesternIsles

It is identical to the Soviet Union When was this ever a thing in America? A military parade on a US president’s birthday is basically the death of their democracy

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Endless crowd. Well done Glasgow

This is a turning point. This is the line we draw. This is the moment history will remember — when millions stood together to say NO to Trump, Vance, Vought, Theil, and all the corrupt cronies and cult. Follow the movement. Learn what comes next. Join us at FiftyFifty.One. #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings

#NoKingsDay

A tale of two national events On the left, sparse crowds at the failed military parade in DC On the right, millions of Americans turn out to voice their opposition to Trump at hundreds of #NoKings protests throughout the country Trump lost the crowd size battle Again
