Especially when they have done everything in their power to damage it, either collectively or to specific individuals, for years now… Your tokenistic posts on social media mean little.

Instead, we’re terrorizing our communities.
- As we noted at @americasvoice.bsky.social last year, $170B in anti-immigrant funding could instead have built more than 7,000 new elementary schools, paid for more than 1.5 million young Americans to attend an in-state public college for four years, or funded Head Start for nearly 14 years 👇🏽

I have rarely been so disappointed by every other party, the government included. It's like they all think Trump is watching and they are terrified of upsetting him. A total failure to stand up for Scotland.

- Reposted by Scott Macdonald (he/him) 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇵🇸🇨🇺A social media ban is a get-out-cheap approach to social media by the Government. Actually regulate big social media firms? Actually hold them to account for their business practices? Actually expect them to moderate their platforms? No! Let's cut off the kids from online community instead!

We had a Commission in 2015 with every Holyrood party bar the Tories! It stated "the current system of Council Tax must end." No more Commissions! Just end it!

- Reposted by Scott Macdonald (he/him) 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇵🇸🇨🇺I'm gonna add to this that the Dems had ZERO to do with the Bovino firing. It was the tireless work of the good people of MSP standing strong, filming and writing the news with their first hand accounts. The press tried to both sides it. They WANTED to. But the citizens of Minnesota ended this guy

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site.
