The argument that Scotland was forcibly annexed in 1707 and subsequently reduced to a colonized territory is central to the decolonisation petitions currently being brought before the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization. This perspective frames historic Scottish participation in the Empire as a survival mechanism rather than a willing partnership. Scotland in my view has been Annexed for nearly 320 years 🏴👑 Not A Voluntary union 🇬🇧 forced a hostile takeover.
England's colonial history over Scotland has significantly shaped its unique identity and rich heritage. This impact calls for a decisive shift in Scotland's approach. Instead of seeking concessions from the English state, Scotland should assert itself on the world stage by engaging with the international community through the United Nations. True legitimacy comes from peer recognition and support, not from an oppressor. By choosing this path, Scotland can build a future that honors its autonomy while fostering fruitful international relationships. It is essential for Scotland to recognize that it has no obligations to the English colonial regime. Instead, seeking support from the UN will garner solidarity from the global community. A state's legitimacy is not determined by a colonizer that has historically exploited its resources. Scotland must not settle for demands from the English state but should confidently pursue international backing through the UN. Recognition from fellow nations, rather than from a colonizer, is key to true statehood. This proactive approach will enable Scotland to carve out a future that respects its identity and promotes constructive global collaboration. Scotland has turned towards the UN for support, claiming its rightful place in the international community.🏴👑👊🔥
The people of Scotland have the right to decide how they are governed. The British have no say in this decision.
Stop accepting that you need their permission before you act. You do not.
The maximum an individual can legally donate to a candidate in an election is $3300.
Elon donated $277M to Trump in 2024 because of loopholes rich people use to buy elections.
If you care about election integrity — overturn Citizens United so our elections aren’t auctions.
@NPRinskeep I’m really sorry for those veterans and other federal workers who will lose their jobs, but remember, Trump is doing this to pay for a big tax cut for billionaires & corporations, even though many of them now pay zero in tax.
Britain: we have to understand wtf we’ve done. We’ve allowed one of Trump’s closest allies have access to our entire NHS data systems. This is the CEO of Palantir telling shareholders that ‘when it’s necessary to scare enemies & on occasion kill them’
@MollyJongFast As for the "arm gesture" Elon used, it's worse than you think. That particular salute, first hand over heart - then the extended arm - was used by HITLER HIMSELF. His followers used a variation. See below for a native German's report.

If America even has midterm elections in 2026, Democrats need to stop campaigning for smart people. You've won them already.
Speak to the stupid people. In the dumbest possible terms. Dummies decide elections and a huge chunk of the country is dumb.
He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
Mike Johnson’s “No Obamacare” promise is starting to break through, as seen here on CNN.
The more viral Johnson’s comment goes, the more coverage it will get.
Keep blasting it out.

Joe Biden is not a candidate for president.
Kamala Harris is a candidate for president. Tonight she said if she wins, she’ll always listen to Trump supporters and give them a seat at the table.
Donald Trump is a candidate for president. He said Harris supporters are the enemy from within who he might use the military against.
