Fossil fuel companies getting caught out for their lies once again.
The SNP sit on their hands letting climate change literally rip through our communities & damage infrastructure.
Focusing on job creation in clean industries (energy, home insulation) is the long term solution.

We only need to look at LA to see the horrors of climate inaction, yet Trump is a climate change denier.
If the world keeps its eyes closed, lets him further the global economy's dependence on fossil fuels, we will be sleepwalking into a nightmare future. (3/4)

Women, migrants, disabled people, & queer people, are over & over again the targets of marginalisation and scapegoating under Trump's politics.
He won't represent the people of America. He won't do any good for Scotland with his golf courses. He cares only for himself. (2/4)

A reminder that Trump's politics have never, will never, be welcome here.
I, the @ScottishGreens & Scottish people stand in solidarity today:
With all those who have woken up scared, and those targeted by the politics of hate & prejudice from the US President.

But getting justice means calling out injustices in policing. Their faults, their systemic prejudices, their shared culture of silence.
Sheku Bayoh's family are just one still left waiting for answers. #JusticeForSheku
I hope for a future where policing works for everyone. (2/2)

"Designed to break you."
That's how our police system was described by Stephanie Bonner, who was failed by Police Scotland after losing her son, Rhys.
