WhatsApp is very easily replaced by Signal.
Signal is not owned by a billionaire, it's a foundation.
It does everything WA does, it's similar and easy to use, and you don't support any fascists that way.
It is also more secure.

Signal Messenger: Speak Freely Say "hello" to a different messaging experience. An unexpected focus on privacy, combined with all of the features you expect.

At the very least, and also a very easy switch, is to get your people off of Whatsapp, and onto Signal. signal.org

A variety of replacements for META products.

A variety of replacements for META products.

There are numerous excellent replacement platforms. Someone has to make the move - your friends will follow.
The EU has commissioned a European, open source software suite to replace microsoft, zoom and META.

This is also true of META products. Don't use Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram or Threads. The owner of META is a zionist and supports MAGA, and let us not forget that company's role in Brexit and various elections.
The users are the product - no users, no product, no META.

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

👌 Perhaps they’ll also discover driving slower (55mph limits on motorways and 20mph on local roads) saves fuel?

Anas Sarwar said Labour will set up a fund to fix one million potholes a year.

The Scottish Labour leader said his party would establish a £350m pothole fund to spend £70m a year repairing potholes.

He said the cash would be “repurposed” from the active and sustainable travel budget and said the plan also includes greater preventative maintenance to improve the condition of roads in the long term.

Anas Sarwar says he'll take money away from walking, wheeling, cycling and buses to fix potholes.

Like increase gas storage facilities?
Free insulation for the winter?
Deploy more solar panels on government buildings?

It has become abundantly clear that there is a determined cadre of ideological transphobes in senior positions at a variety of national institutions: BBC, courts, NHS etc. Who will feign reasonability and 'common sense' while pushing a ideology of violence against what has been the trans status quo.

Scotland has the lowest child poverty rate in the UK, and 90,000 fewer children live in poverty thanks to our policies.

But decisions at Westminster have too often held us back.

I want to fully eradicate child poverty, and Scotland should have the full powers to do it.

As this war gets messier and messier, it will become more unpopular.

An independent Scotland should ditch the 'special relationship' and be a voice for peace

Yup, its unbelievable that we have so much in the way of natural resources, yet have to pay so much for energy.

"The sensible response from government... is to make sure we're prepared".

We could've been prepared decades ago if we'd been properly governed since then. We should have had 100% renewable energy and a totally decarbonised economy.

Now Scotland will pay the price for Westminster mismanagement

Full solidarity with Hannah Spencer, this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
This is a direct attack on our democracy, Hannah is an elected MP that has the right to walk free in the city she represents without these extremists behaving like thugs

Mothin Ali - on point as ever. It is humbling to see that a community gardener from Gipton & Harehills holds more integrity in his little finger than the entire Westminster political Elite.

“My critics want silence. But advocating for peace is what democracy demands”

Wonder if such vicious slander will be condemned by the establishment the same way as it is when it's one of their own. Won't hold my breath. Britain is rotten to the core

To all the amazing women who continue to take a stand against bloodsports, injustice and oppression, and who are working hard to make the world a better place. The HSA is proud and extremely lucky to have so many courageous women within their ranks. 🖤

Every day we are coming up against the huge limits of devolution.

With the threat of a Farage-led government that Scotland didn't vote for, it is crucial that we take our future into our own hands!

justice is collective. This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating five women advancing human rights. From tackling poverty to defending Palestinian rights, they are fighting injustice locally and globally.
