Dani has the ability to make you feel like family as soon as you meet her. Nobody is a bigger champion of humanity than her. The most infection smile and a laugh that could light up cities. This loss is actually unfathomable. How lucky we are to have shared a lifetime with her.
Today we're launching a new map bringing to life the developing plans for #ClydeMetro

In loving memory of the children in this video, cold-bloodedly murdered by Israel.
They are among the approximately 22000 children Israel has slaughtered in about two year.
Having murdered EVERY journalist in Gaza, and many of their families.
Having banned ANY international journalist from entering.
Having destroyed almost every structure in Gaza and even laughing as they blew up water treatment facilities and cancer wards.
Israel is now BANNING all aid agencies from operating there from tomorrow.
The last thread of charitable aid removed.
An evil beyond humanity.

This is @GetGlesgaMoving ideal Airport connections. While there is no ScotRail link there are two metro lines going to Paisley one way and at least Renfrew along another, as well as a tram connecting Clydebank note that only Gilmour Street has a tram connecting. #Glasgow#SPT
In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article (https://t.co/HsWFThQ5wF) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations.
Imagine Pep Guardiola taking Burnley to the Champions League semi-finals and winning the Premier League.
That’s what Jim McLean did with Dundee United in the 1980s.
He didn’t just challenge the Old Firm—he broke their stranglehold.
How a former inside forward turned a small city club into a European powerhouse and Scottish champions.

REPORT | The Guardian reports that at least 135 mutilated Palestinian bodies returned to Gaza were traced to Israel’s Sde Teiman base — a military prison notorious for torture and deaths in custody. Doctors in Khan Younis said autopsies “clearly indicate that Israel carried out acts of murder, summary executions and systematic torture.” Human rights workers warn the site’s dual role — both prison camp and storage facility for Gaza’s dead — may conceal how many were killed in captivity. Israeli media reports and guard testimony suggest nearly 1,500 Palestinian bodies are still being held there.
Most victims were blindfolded, bound, or crushed under tank tracks, according to Gaza doctors. Whistleblowers told The Guardian of detainees kept naked, blindfolded, and shackled in nappies. Patients captured from Gaza hospitals were chained to beds, left with infected wounds, and moaning in pain. One guard said a prisoner’s hand was amputated after it turned gangrenous from tight cuffs.
Released journalist Shadi Abu Seido described 100 days inside Sde Teiman: “Many died in detention, others lost their minds. They brought dogs that urinated on us. When I asked why I’d been arrested, they said: ‘We’ve killed all the journalists. They died once. You’ll die hundreds of times.’” His account echoes repeated testimonies of torture emerging from Sde Teiman.
A UN forensic expert urged an independent investigation to identify the dead and determine accountability. The Israeli army referred questions to the Prison Service, which offered no comment.
At least 78 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 2023.

The story about Israel using fake animations of Hamas tunnels should be huge and covered by all mainstream media because it undercuts everything Israel said about why it needed to invade hospitals and schools and level Gaza to the ground. And this is why it won't be
🔴On 7 October 2023, Israel began spreading atrocity propaganda — rapes, burned babies, family massacres. But a big share of deaths that day were by Israeli fire. From the start, EI exposed these lies while mainstream media spread them. Here's some of our key investigations🧵
