I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

BBC in Scotland is basically what's happening in the UK & what the Westminster is doing for us. Little Scottish identity & SNP bad (no change that bit). BBC Wales is now the same format & not enjoyable anymore but without the Welsh Government bad bit.

This is one 'nationionism' shite.

Scots is often wrapped up in classism and labelled as 'weird' or 'uneducated', but by every standard it is its own language with its own grammar, syntax and words, and should be respected as such, writes Emma Grae ✍️

English unionists who now live in Scotland and wrap themselves in a Union Jack remind me of the dumbasses who moved to Spain and voted for Brexit. Don’t be one of them. Time to get Scottish Independence and rejoin the EU. All welcome.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico rejected a Politico report as false, denying claims about his views on Donald Trump and any informal talks at an EU summit in Brussels. He accused the outlet of fabricating information. #Slovakia

Keep in mind that after the killing of Renee Good, Trump went out and egged on ICE to be a force for "RECKONING AND RETRIBUTION" in Minnesota. It was no accident that Alex Pretti was executed, it was almost inevitable because of Trump's actions. He is to blame, no one else.

He said India is purchasing oil from 41 countries, down from 27 previously.

He added that India, the world's third-largest oil importer, is seeking to increase energy trade with Canada and the United States.

You've found the start of THE daily🧵 for Day 1435

The world refuses to acknowledge the obvious: Russia is not only a rogue, terrorist state which cannot be trusted. It's also one which will do anything, incl genocide until it's stopped

100 days until Scotland decides.

My focus is on what matters: tackling the cost of living crisis, improving our NHS and securing Scotland’s choice of a fresh start with independence.

Reporting Scotland last night prompting Small Nuclear Reactors for Scotland. Beware!

We produce four times the natural gas we consume and transfer huge amounts of electricity to the rest of the UK – we don’t need nuclear.
There are only two SMRs running in Russia and China – not tried and tested.

🙏 Zelensky: Russia attacked a passenger train in the Kharkiv region. In any country, a drone strike on a civilian train would be viewed as terrorism.

In particular, there were more than 200 people on that train. And there were 18 people in the car that was hit. 4 people died…

Russia is clearly committing genocide. Trying to freeze the people into submission is a clear breach of one Geneva convention.

Now bombing passenger trains is, as Zelenskyy says here, just brushed off.
It was 5th story on a BBC radio bulletin an hour ago.
