Independence isn’t in the shadows it’s the centre of Scotland’s political reality.
When even Scottish Labour starts “reconsidering” its position, that tells you in spite of all their efforts to the contrary, the movement has broken through the media wall and reached the people and the voters they need who understand the injustice of the situation.

Scotland is an independent country yet its leavers of power have been stolen by another country and some party leaders have used the system to lock the Scottish people out of their own system.
This must end.

This isn’t a single moment or a slogan.
It’s a decades long national conversation that every party now has to engage with.
The SNP can either meet the movement where it always should have been, or step aside and let Scotland move forward.

Independence isn’t extreme.
It isn’t marginal.
It’s mainstream and unavoidable.
Time for Scotland to stand tall in the world stage.

BBC Scotland news still trying to protect this fucking liar.

The United Kingdom’s Union is under 'unprecedented pressure from a rising pro-independence tide', Sinn Fein president Mary-Lou McDonald has said ahead of a historic vote on Irish unity preparation this week https://t.co/h6KoQ6y1f2

BREAKING: HELL YES! The Supreme Court HUMILIATES Trump by rejecting his desperate appeal for them to overturn E. Jean Carroll's $5 million verdict against him for sexual abuse and defamation.

The ruling is written in stone now. He has to cough up every penny...

Carroll was previously awarded the impressive sum in 2023 after she sued Trump for defamation and battery under a newly implemented New York law that allows sexual abuse victims to file lawsuits over past attacks.

After assaulting her in a department store in the '90s, Trump went on to character-assassinate Carroll by heinously claiming that she manufactured the allegations to boost her book sales. It's classic predator behavior: physical abuse followed by psychological warfare. The man is a stone-cold sociopath.

Trump was hoping that the Supreme Court — which is packed with right-wing activist justices and regularly rules in his favor — would toss out the jury's civil verdict. Instead, they refused to take up the case. They did not offer any insight into their decision.

In the coming days, the President's attorneys are expected to appeal a separate defamation ruling in Carroll's favor, which holds that Trump must pay her a jaw-dropping $83 million. Hopefully, the court refuses to hear that appeal as well, digging Trump's financial hole even deeper.

Since Trump has lined his pockets with billions since retaking the White House, the money is the less important element at play here. Far more important is what this Supreme Court decision does for his legacy. Now and for the rest of history, Trump will be recorded as an adjudicated rapist.

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with E. Jean Carroll!

The language of "the north" as seen in the Andy Burnham media blitz tells us more explicitly than ever that Westminster politicians' and media's interests end around Newcastle. Anything north of that doesn't matter. This messaging is going to be received horribly in Scotland

Scotland will never move forward until this hateful shite is gone.
I’m not Catholic.
But I despise this shit.

This is ​Fatima, a sixth-year medical student at Kharkiv National Medical University.

Russia killed her today.

She came to the city for her university graduation. She was only 23.

It's no bra weather, so if you see my nipples, I don't know what to tell ya! 🤷🏽‍♀️
Happy birthday.😏😉

Netanyahu has said he will go to New York even though Zohran Mamdani said he would arrest him if he does.

Like if you want to see Netanyahu arrested.
RT if you'd personally turn up to make sure it happened.

I am from Donbas.
Which means
I know exactly
Who started this war.
And it wasn’t Ukraine.

I’m on threads (@madelainelucyhanson) if you want to follow me for my art/writing/comedy and are tired of the relentless sea of bots yelling slurs at each other.

Peace! ✌️

Burnham's speech is a reminder to Scotland that power devolved is power retained. It's painfully obvious that Burnham does not recognise Scotland as a country, he sees us as just another region of Greater England.

[Georgi Siana @SianaNache79742]

What freedom? To queue up to 5 hours to enter any EU country in 37 degrees heat?
To give your fingertips and photo of your selves, like you are criminals?
Freedom to miss your flights back home, due to the same checks upon exiting any EU country?
These are lots of “freedoms”😎

❗️A Russian KAB bomb killed a 23 year old young woman in Kharkiv.
She has arrived for her graduation ceremony. Her cap and gown were found by her body.

Deepest condolences...

Russia is a murderer.

Obama once said "If you have to win a campaign by dividing people, you're not going to be able to govern them. You won't be able to unite them later." Boy was he right!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Europe is suffering through its worst heat wave in recorded history.

This week, 3 dozen U.S. states will likely see record-breaking temperatures.

No, Mr. Trump. Climate change is not a “hoax.”

We must stop fossil fuel industry greed and save the planet.

I never stop being amazed by my followers.

Other people complain that the world is full of idiots, that humanity is getting worse every year—meaner, dumber, more toxic. They share screenshots of nasty comments as proof of how awful people have become.

My followers, though? They're something else entirely.

Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I open the replies to my posts and just read... and read... and read.

Tears roll down my face like diamonds stolen from the Louvre.

Every time I check the comments, I'm genuinely amazed by the kindness, warmth, and goodwill I find there—even under my most ridiculous, pointless, or unfunny posts.

People laugh with me, encourage me, and brighten my day. There's a rare kindness and natural decency in this community that truly sets it apart.

Thank you, my dear friends.

I appreciate every one of you. ❤️
