@albathepict@alba Kenny MacAskill wanted to retire and cared nothing for Salmond's legacy.which he happily destroyed by killing the ALBA Party. In doing , he has destroyed his own legacy. He is just the guy who killed ALBA now. Nothing else will be remembered.
Félicitations, Président @LulaOficial, pour votre réélection au Brésil.
Les relations entre le Canada et le Brésil ont progressé grâce à notre partenariat. Saisissons cette occasion pour les renforcer davantage, ensemble – afin de créer de nouvelles perspectives commerciales prometteuses, de protéger l'environnement et d’assurer une plus grande prospérité à nos deux populations.
Congratulations Lula 🤝🇧🇷
A victory for socialists across the world & those opposed to brutal colonisation & US imperialism. A victory for those who support basic human rights & social justice. A victory for integrity & principles. A defeat for Terrorist Trump & Nazi Netanyahu.
The world needed hope right now - and Brazil delivered it.
After a wave of pro-American far-right candidates swept Latin America, Lula defied the odds.
The world's fourth largest democracy has been saved from far-right authoritarianism.
Here's to hope ✊
The War Criminal Campbell has smeared me and @TuckerCarlson tonight on X. When I knew him he was the willing accomplice at the @DailyMirror of Ghislane Maxwell’s father Robert, usually just carrying his hat and coat. So besotted was he with the greatest thief of the century he broke the nose of a Guardian journalist in Parliament for celebrating the fat thief’s trip to Davy Jones Locker. Later he served the War Criminal Tony Blair with similar gusto. He lied and cheated his way through the Blair era, deceiving parliament and people and world opinion equally. None of this has seen him banished from Labour or the great British media and Establishment society, quite the contrary. That he has turned his grease-gun on Carlson and me says more about the Epstein class who still rule than it does about us.
Basic education piece:
Not all Jewish people are Zionists.
Lots of Zionists aren't Jews.
The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists.
The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people.
Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

I've clearly touched a nerve with [checks notes] "BBC Scotland sports pundit". @JimSpenceDundee
If he thinks the "big time" is commentating on Morton Vs East Fife football matches, then he deserves to get that broken bookies pencil I've been offering to sell for £100 for free.
He now spends his time cheering on Britain's "special" forces who have been implicated in the murders of dozens of Catholics in the occupied North of Ireland...
You can take the man out of BBC Sports but you will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER take the tongue of Jim Spence out of the arse of the British state.
Not a word on Twitter still about the flagrantly authoritarian and racist raid on Ilhan Omar’s home by the Trump administration from multiple top Democrats, including shamefully @SenSchumer, but glad Barack Obama is finally speaking out on it. Other Dems should follow his lead.
It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.
Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.
Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.
Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.
In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.
The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.
