Assuming a Muslim is transphobic is transparently Islamophobic, and especially ignorant considering that his opponent was transparently transphobic, homophobic, and assorted other bigotries, and made absolutely no attempt whatsoever to hide her bigotry. I can only assume you're wildly ignorant of Scottish politics and maybe should just pipe down about things you know nothing about 🤷🏻

Today we find out if the SNP has fucked it.

These fuckers are content to watch us die.

This bullshit is going to condemn our species to extinction unless we find a way to depose these sociopaths.

I'm wondering how many people outside Scotland (and especially outside the UK) are aware at the moment that we have a Scottish First Minister (Humza Yousaf) who...

is a Muslim

is really pro-LGBTQIA+ rights

has Palestinian in-laws, some of whom (his parents-in-law specifically) were trapped in Gaza until a couple of days ago and apparently are very traumatised by the bombing etc.; some of whom (including a brother-in-law who's a doctor and has refused to leave) are still there

as far as I'm aware Humza and his family received no sympathy or solidarity from any of the English party leaders over this which is a fucking disgrace (I'd be delighted to find out I'm wrong on this one, so if anyone has reliable sources that indicate I am please let me know!)

has also gone out of his way to express solidarity and empathy with Israeli victims of Hamas, including visiting a synagogue and being hugged by a relative of one of the October 7th victims

I mean, he's not by any means perfect (rather too centrist for my taste, at least by Scottish standards, and not doing as much on climate change as I'd like (though at least the SNP being in coalition with the Scottish Greens helps), but just... he's overall a good'un. Especially by politician standards.

(Also Elon Musk has finally noticed that Scotland has a left-of-centre, pro-LGBTQIA+ rights, pro-choice, Muslim First Minister and is apparently EXTREMELY FURIOUS, so expect the global far right to start getting really seriously unpleasant about all this and probably very Scotophobic as well as Islamophobic about it in three, two, one...)

Humza Yousaf, First Minister of Scotland is calling for an urgent ceasefire

[i-am-aprl]

Scotland’s First Minister, Humza Yousaf, has issued a strong condemnation against proposals by Israeli government members to relocate Gazans and establish Israeli settlements in Gaza.

He labelled these plans as ethnic cleansing and urged for them to be denounced unequivocally.

So fucking tired of being told trans rights need to be put on hold so whatever project establishment “lefties” are working on at the moment isn’t inconvenienced.

Good News!

[scottishcommune]

So our First Minister ripped up the power sharing agreement he had with the greens, aka the thing actually propping up his government, in order to backtrack on the net zero targets his party had agreed to. Pissing off the one group of people who are propping up your party in a parliament that's otherwise entirely hostile to your leadership turns out to be, in a surprise to nobody, political suicide. I've never seen a politician self-sabotage so spectacularly fast. What a fucking idiot
