Scotland's drug death record is a tragedy that we need to fix. But that's exactly why I voted against the Right to Addiction Recovery Bill.

Every life lost to drugs is a collective neglect of the real causes of addiction. This Bill wouldn't have addressed those causes (a 🧵)

Why do we keep talking about trans healthcare?

Because of statistics like this.
Because every day waiting, in this world obsessed with harassing trans people, is a battle that many don't survive.

So, we keep talking about it, and keep fighting back against systemic transphobia.

Poverty isn't just having no money at the end of the week.

It's a daily struggle, jumping through hoops to get support.

@scottishgreens.org fight for universal services, like subsidised travel & better childcare, that make a fairer system for everyone #ChallengePovertyWeek

No, laws alone aren't enough to tackle queer- & trans-phobia.

Letting down every single victim. Allowing literal torture to go on, trying to change something that can't be changed.
