Yesterday my sister found my 4yr old niece rubbing her skin with a pencil rubber because she wanted to be white. This is why representation at every level matters. From representation in the highest offices to representation in the classrooms and nurseries. #heartbreaking#race
⚡️Zelensky posts another video filmed in central Kyiv.
"There's a lot of fake information online that I call on our army to lay down arms, and that there's evacuation," he said.
"I'm here. We won't lay down our arms. We will defend our state."
🇺🇦 Few of us - mercifully - will ever be tested as Ukrainians are being right now. But from the President to the women and men in the streets, their courage and resolve is awe-inspiring. It’s nowhere near enough, but we send them strength and solidarity
#StandwithUkraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
@wagamama_uk terrible service for anyone gluten free. #standrewssq#edinburgh staff were rude and unhelpful. What happened to Christmas spirit. Will stick to Deliveroo. Not eating in here ever again!

Horrible to hear this. This site brings so much emotion for so many Sikhs throughout the world. This attempt to erase history will not work. #JallianwalaBagh#india
While the announcement of a UK resettlement scheme for Afghan refugees is welcome in principle, the commitment to 20,000 in ‘long term’ and just 5000 this year is woefully inadequate. I call on UK Gov to go further to meet its responsibilities. @scotgov ready to play full part
⚽️#Football - 'The beautiful game' sadly has a very ugly side. Reports indicate when England lose a tournament, cases of #domesticviolence increase by 38%. Cases of #racism and #Xenophobia increase too. If you are affected, do NOT be afraid to reach out. ☎️ #EURO2020#BLM

Too little too late. Where was the planning for this? Innocent people caught in the crossfire, businesses forced to close. This has been going on since midday and it's taken untill 9pm to action this.
Disgraceful. #AbsentPolicing
Due to the level of disorder in George Square, Police Scotland will make use of powers available under Section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 to disperse those who have chosen to gather.
The senior police officer on the ground will give direct instructions to those gathered.
