The 2026 #ScotsPledge is officially LIVE! The 2025 Act gave Scots official status, but now we must move from Act to Action. We’re calling on all Holyrood candidates to commit to securing the long-term health of the Scots Leid. Head to oorvyce.scot/pledge to take the pledge today #ScotsLanguage #SP26

This Republican Senator - a pro-Israel zealot and Trump ally - is openly threatening the life of Greta Thunberg and others on the Gaza aid ship. Why? Because they're trying to bring aid to a Gaza starved by a key US ally. The world is run by gangsters.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
