I rejoined X ahead of #Holyrood26 but X has now labelled my account “malicious content.”
Ironic. I’m exposing how Scottish politicians covered up abuse.
Meanwhile, Musk spent the weekend sharing his own actual malicious video.
That tells you everything about whose voices are being silenced. 🧵 1/5

In general parties based in England have reps in Scotland who are less unpopular than their leaders in England. Except the Lib Dems. Oops. Time to ditch Cole-Hamilton.
They're ALL more unpopular than SNP Leader, John Swinney.

I left X in Jan, but I’ve rejoined today. Urgh. Politicians and media are still there. Therefore, in lead up to the election the #AskAlex campaign must be too. Damn it! But I’ve missed lots of the people on there.
I also want to build my BlueSky network. Please follow and share.

Last week, we were out & about talking to the public in Glasgow!
At a time when hostility can feel overwhelming, it was deeply heartwarming to hear how much love, compassion & solidarity is out there.
The message was resoundingly clear: Refugees are welcome here! 🧡

Like most bullies, Trump can be constrained only if everyone stands up to his bullying.
Protest. Go to town halls. Protect the vulnerable in your community. Keep speaking out.

Okay, so I’ve posted my original post with a message saying “Help.”
He has refused to speak to me since I resigned as his mental health spokesperson when Christine Jardine MP almost killed someone with her bullying, so you can imagine what suggestions of child abuse in the Lib Dems does for him.

I have a lot to say about today in Scotland, and the last few weeks, but I need a bit of rest first. The basics: fascists are now open and unapologetic, happy to stand in front of police holding banners saying 'kill them all'.
