This is Graham Platner, a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maine, making an excellent point. Inherently, we are all frustrated at the same things - the direction of that frustration should be the oligarchy, not those seeking a new life in the UK. 💚
People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion.

To address the cost of living crisis, sleepwalking into a climate catastrophe while the rich get richer, and combating hard-right hatred, we must have Green voices representing the Highlands and Islands - and we need your support to do it. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elect-gr…

An incredible result in NYC's mayoral election last night that demonstrates that progressive, hopeful campaigning, can win in the face of the establishment's pushback and hard-right heckling. Let us continue this rise in Scotland and across the world.
Born in Uganda to Indian parents, Zohran Mamdani has made history as New York City’s first Muslim mayor - and its youngest leader in more than 100 years.

A reminder that while John Swinney prepares to unwaveringly accommodate the aspiring authoritarian President Trump, the Scottish Government continues to fail in providing specialist healthcare in the Highlands, forcing people into significant travel. shorturl.at/nCdfP
Scotland's First Minister should not be cosying up to a convicted criminal who's actively working to undermine democracy and human rights around the world. It's time political leaders started standing up for our values, instead of trying to appease extremists like Donald Trump.

Today is Nakba Day, which commemorates the large-scale, brutal eviction of Palestinians that followed Israel’s declaration of Independence. 77 years later, this remains profound reality. We must work to end this genocide and move towards a free, independent Palestine.
As we mark Nakba Day on May 15, millions of Palestinian refugees are languishing in camps as Israeli authorities accelerate the forced displacement of Palestinian communities. Governments should press Israel to honor Palestinian refugees' right of return.

Loch Lomond is world famous for its natural beauty. We must do all we can to preserve it. At over 97,000 this is already the most objected to planning application in Scottish history. Help us get to 100,000 and #savelochlomond. 👉 greens.scot/FlamingoLand

Many of us are excited for Fringe festivities - but for people with visual impairments, events can often be inaccessible. That’s why I’m supporting @SightScotland's #AccessibleVenues campaign calling for all venues in Scotland to be accessible for people with visual impairment.
We are calling for venues to collaborate with us to improve their accessibility for people with visual impairment. With upcoming summer events happening across Scotland, Sight Scotland is launching our Accessible Venues Report. Read our report here: ow.ly/6YRB50SzCna
