@ProfKEPickett Best we have read for ages, thank you. Have referenced it here securescotland.substack.com/p/collaborate-…

securescotland.substack.com/p/collaborate-… " . . . the current focus on war and on the narrative of threats and counter-threats is making it impossible to address the existential threats faced by humanity and the planet."

The FT's longtime Tehran correspondent Najmeh Bozorgmehr has written an anti-war manifesto that is simultaneously intimate and epic, heart-breaking and hopeful. A reminder how war is an assault on humanity itself.

Slightly misleading headline. This is not just about the US, it is a study of a broader trend, including UK of course (scapegoating, crushing dissent, curtailing free speech). Good to hear about nations pushing back. Scotland, eh?theguardian.com/world/commenti…

@FionaMont21 It's all here

FFS! Trump is a disgrace over & over & over. A free press is vital in a democracy. Particularly in a war - even more so an illegal war. Where a President denies what everyone else can see - about who bombed schoolgirls, for example.

Could @BBCScotlandNews be catching up at last? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… The UK (and Scotland via Prestwick) has been part of this horror from the build-up onwards.

Q: Why do we know so little about these historic peace activists? A: Peace, unlike war, doesn't sell books. It's like in medieval paintings: a depiction of hell is more interesting than one of heaven. jacobin.de/artikel/olga-m…

💌🙌Today and everyday we say thank you to all the women in nuclear disarmament! Thank you to the women heads of state who signed the #NuclearBan Treaty, to the activists, the scientists, the policy makers and all those fighting for a world without nuclear weapons! #IWD2026

So-called nuclear deterrence will not save us whether appalling men like Trump have their finger on the button or someone some see as reasonable. We need nuclear disarmament and the way forward is the #NuclearBan treaty. @ican

Ross Greer of the Scottish Greens states the US military used Prestwick Airport in advance of the attack on Iran, and calls for a ban. The FM expresses his concern over the issue, and says the government is investigating the use of the airport. #FMQs bbc.co.uk/news/live/cddn…
