In both "The Handmaid's Tale" and "The Testaments," Canada is the place you can escape to when things become too oppressive in the States. You're welcome.

I think #Trump really got to the heart of Easter here with this soaring oratory. White House History #TippyToppy #ItsCalledTheWhiteHouse

We’re facing an explosion of #transphobia All #trans people want is to be left in peace. How did they become the focus of these vile imported culture wars? Have a watch…..And feel free to subscribe (it’s free). And comment. youtube.com/watch?v=_Ret-_… #TransRightsAreHumanRights

This is an important explanation from a former Supreme Court judge re the #trans ruling. Employers and other organisation are now allowed to behave in a discriminatory way. But they are not obliged to do so. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Spot on from Peter. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

How deeply vacuous. Characteristically dishonest too. Not least since Scottish Labour has explicitly said it might work with Farage. And the SNP has explicitly ruled out ever working with him.

Interesting to have academic evidence to back my campaigning impression.

Glasgow’s “streets are littered with the works of Alexander “Greek” Thomson and Charles Rennie Mackintosh.” Really? news.stv.tv/v/glasgow-in-t…

Yet more #Trump chaos: “Pentagon turmoil deepens. The latest incidents add to the Pentagon’s broader upheaval in recent months, including fallout from Hegseth’s release of sensitive information in a Signal chat with other national security leaders.” politi.co/4jHUaQ5

A happy and peaceful Easter to all.

Bach’s glorious St Matthew’s passion was first performed Good Friday 1727 in Leipzig. This exquisite performance is by the Berliner Philharmoniker Happy Easter to all.

So much of political debate in Scotland (and the UK) is foolish and insincere. Ms Baillie doesn’t think this for a moment. For her to say it insults our intelligence and makes her look like a bad faith actor in our national conversation. Let’s debate - but do so with integrity.

It’s as if Jesus himself was giving us an #Easter message. #Trump on this holy day.

Heroic.

Well said Sarah McBride on Pod Save America The bigots are triumphant. But on Easter Sunday of all days we can be certain that they won’t win. Love and tolerance will conquer hate. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

They’re so ghastly.

Hope you’ve been having a peaceful Easter weekend. Since it was first performed on Good Friday in 1727 Bach’s glorious St Matthew’s Passion has been associated with Easter. Enjoy this beautiful performance from the Australian Chamber Orchestra

I’m always astonished at these folk who claim to have lost friends because they’re transphobic - or because they were anti Scottish independence. My friendships seem to be deeper rooted. I have unionist friends. But I’ve never had friends who were bigots - so none to lose.
