We will remember everyone.

Everyone who fought, who lived, who died, and every conscientious objector, too.

We will remember their sacrifice.

We will remember their belief in freedom, and the common humanity that unites us.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

The Trump Action Tracker has an update!

Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions.

This calm, cool decency is dangerously absent from our discourse at the moment. Almost everyone is embracing, normalising or ignoring the 'cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.'

Since when does throwing the dregs of your coffee cup down the drain constitute "polluting land or water". Surely people do that every day at home, so why is it a crime when doing it outside?

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media — the 30-second sound bite (now down to 10 seconds kind of celebration of ignorance.”

Last weekend, around seven million Americans joined the nationwide “No Kings” protests, calling out Trump.

Why does this matter for Scotland? Because US-style Christian nationalism is creeping into our country too, and we all have a duty to call it out. Here are some of our favourite No Kings signs
Sign that says I caught the woke mind virus and all I got was empathy and critical thinking skills Sign saying the only royalty I want to see in this country is drag queens sign saying if you're not ANTIFAscist you're PROFAscist, end ICE raids and military occupation of our cities Picture of an orange butterfly with the caption 'the only orange monarch we want'

A minimalist landscape painting in watercolour on thick cotton paper. I was imagining the tree emerging through the mist on a winter's morning.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

We were deeply saddened to hear of the recent death of renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, but grateful when we heard that, before she died, she had recorded her last words to share with humanity, in collaboration with Netflix. Her final message is one that deeply resonates with humanist beliefs

Sketching random things..

I'm trying to get into the habit of sketching every day. It's very different from my normal style of more abstract painting, but it feels like a good discipline to maintain, plus it's quite good fun.
