The Scotswoman - Celebrating 30 Years - How women took over a 178-year-old newspaper YouTube video by Lesley Riddoch

The Scotsman newspaper was first published 200+ years ago but on March 8th 1995 its female staff took over & the Scotswoman was published - a one day wonder. A wee film to celebrate International Women’s Day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u4E...

It's Scotland's oil, and successive Westminster governments have just given it away for nothing more than the price of a drilling licence.

We look at Norway and know what could have been.

Scotland has the energy
Now we need the power
#ScottishIndependence

Westminster can keep it's grubby hands off of our Scottish NHS!

It's Scotland's oil, it's been plundered by our neighbour for decades, it's wealth has propped up WM coffers while we get a piddling 8%.

John Swinney issues 'explicit warning' over UK's involvement in Middle East war

NEW: John Swinney has issued a 'very explicit warning' as he expressed concern the UK risks being dragged into an 'offensive' war against Iran

International Women's Day.

Happy International Women's Day!

We'll always work towards a fairer, greener, more feminist Scotland. 💚

BREAKING: The Alba Party is set to wind-up and de-register as a party, leader Kenny MacAskill has said

It comes after a meeting of the party's National Executive Committee on Sunday

Hey, guys, how about using ALT so your messaging is accessible to all Bluesky users, including folks who are blind?

Get the info about this month’s Edinburgh March & Rally. Link to full video in first comment. Clips here on our TikTok channel. @believeinscotland.bsky.social @snp.org @scottishgreens.org www.tiktok.com/@scotindypod...

This admin thinks that is an unfair thing to say. While we recognise he toes his party line on the 1+2 messaging, we have had Yes dealings with @petewishart.bsky.social and found him to be approachable, helpful and fully intent on delivering #ScottishIndependence

This makes sense to me. I saw @petewishart arguing for two votes SNP and replied asking for his workings. So, Pete, now's your chance, let's sort this out. Why should I cast my second pro-indy vote for the SNP? Kindly show us your modelling.

The Two-Party Pro-Indy Strategy For Holyrood With Scotland’s part first-past-the-post (FPTP) & part D’Hondt proportional representation voting system for the Scottish Parliament, mathematics & common sense has long told us…

But to come back to Ed Central & Edinburgh & Lothians E region, it's not about an individual seat but the total each party wins. The SNP will win more seats in the region so it's easier for the SGP to get list seats still.

Have a read.

We need #ScottishIndependence and a return to the #EU

Men who shout at hotels are not protecting women Far-right groups protest about asylum accommodation in Aberdeen, claiming to be protecting women, but they regularly target women for abuse

Scotland must defend and protect refugees. They are not the problem in our society.

We must repudiate the far right in Scotland. They're the problem.

Knives Out - Indy PosterBoy Did you know that knife crime in Scotland is less than half that in England and Wales?

We have to turn out in huge numbers to reject the politics of hate.

#Scotland, if you've ever worn a poppy, you should turn your back on the neo-fascism which underpins #ReformUK

I would argue @plaidcymru.bsky.social are internationalists working to embed a civic nationalism, a 'if you live here you are from here' nationalism, similar to the movement for #ScottishIndependence by @snp.org and @scottishgreens.org in Scotland.

'Many independence supporters – me included – have cut the SNP some slack and gone with the SNP majority plan in the absence of a viable alternative, but surely this is the last throw of the dice.'

Worth thinking about.

Problem with voting SNP1/SNP2 is that it risks getting no Indy majority at all, whereas SNP1/SG2 is far more likely to result in a pro-Indy majority.
