Following the First Minister’s decision to keep Edinburgh at level 3- I have today written a joint, cross-party letter to the First Minister
1/

urging her to reconsider this decision. I’m grateful to @DJohnsonMSP, @MilesBriggsMSP and @andywightman from all opposition parties, representing the city who have signed it.
The text of our letter is as follows: 2/

Dear First Minister

Your decision to keep Edinburgh in Level 3 of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions

We write to you on a cross party basis as MSPs representing the City of Edinburgh. Yesterday you announced your government’s decision to keep Edinburgh at level 3,
3/

the 2nd highest classification of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. We now understand that this was contrary to recommendations of public health officials who had advised you that a move to L2 would now be appropriate given the continued suppression of the virus in the capital. 4/

Edinburgh has existed at level 3 for 2 months and yet we have kept infection rates to level 2 parameters for several weeks.

In your statement yesterday, you stated that your reason for retaining Edinburgh’s Level 3 classification was your concern that the city’s

To think that Northerners are Politically sagacious is the fallacy of the century. Since Nigeria gained independence (alleged) The leadership of this country both in the military and democratic span of it had always seen the Northern elites having higher clinch of power,

Control of major resources to their advantage, They say Politics is allocation of power,(human n material resources), as to who gets what,how and when;". especially to this modern day that the security architecture of this country is in their palms. Yet we have seen unpredictable

Slaughter of lives in our land under their gaze. To even, imagine that it happened once or twice is killing my spirit let alone becoming the norm we have to live with. Shameless to hear that farmers pay bandits for 'pass' to their farms/harvest is economic dilemma.

To even hear that their state governors paid and still pay them is out of this world. To even hear again that the arch spiritual/traditional ruler the Sultan is merely giving a news headline that Bandits now go door to door to kidnap is the height of shame with the amount of

Power that the so called political gurus are disposed to. It beats common sense to hear that minors enrol, are given PVC just to maintain voting strength.. You now claim power belongs to you all. Alright. The question is, Do you actually have the power? Look around you.

@SW6life 3) these values are contradictory to what the rights stand, especially the republican party under trump, from here on now refered to as "Trumpists" - a new, US brand of Fascism.

4) Here is the lists of traits that make out fascist regimes commonly agreed, written by Umberto Eco, who lived under Mussolini. He explicitly stated that each country is prone to their own type of Fascism, let me go through this point by point.

The first two are actually the same; Irrationalism & Tradition over everything. You hold up a poster of what your country/ideal living once was and claim to bring it back.
Say; Make america great again. Ignoring hereby that Obama restored the economy which was hurt by Bush

Cult of Action; Killing a General on an Ally soil without informing anyone? Sueing even though there is no evidence.. and yeah, proud stance on anti-intellectualism!

Disagreement is treason; that is why every time the media fact checks something, its somehow misrepresenting him.
Which is why everbody who disagrees is a bad person inherently, without giving arguments *WHY*

1/ When will America wake up to the evil that has seized the Republican Party?

2/ We’ve seen it around the world and throughout history: when a political party or government exists solely to serve the very wealthy, and begins to lose power, they inevitably turn to authoritarianism and police violence.

3/ We saw this in Florida when Gov. Ron DeSantis sent State police with guns drawn to intimidate the family of whistleblower Rebekah Jones, who he’d earlier fired for refusing to lie about Florida coronavirus statistics and is publishing a daily “Florida coronavirus dashboard.“

4/ We see it with Donald Trump committing a felony for which you or I would immediately go to prison, trying to tamper with the outcome of a legitimate election by threats, intimidation, and offering bribes to government officials.

5/ We see it in Michigan where the Macomb County GOP seems to share an address with the group that showed up, armed, to threaten and intimidate the Secretary of State and her four-year-old son as they were preparing to watch “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.”

THE HAPPENING - A TIMELINE

2020 Election Timeline of Events

(credit to timeline anon on /pol/)

Less than half of Albertans vote UCP. There are those who could have voted, but didn't. And those who split up the vote between various other parties. But when it comes right down to it, Kenney did not have an actual 50%+ majority. 1/ #ableg

And there are few UCP supporters now who agree with absolutely everything the UCP does. There are health care workers who have been shocked by the attacks on them. There are education workers who have been shocked by the attacks on them. 2/

There are parents who are not impressed with how school is happening with COVID. There are ranchers who are alarmed about coal mines destroying their pasturelands and water supply. There are people who are on AISH, or who care about people on AISH, who are not pleased. 3/

There are people who feel Kenney has chosen economy over people's health. There are those who think Kenney doesn't go far enough right, and want Alberta to separate and join the US. And there are way more Albertans who really do not want that to happen. 4/

There are people who feel Kenney is responsible for deaths, who feel Kenney has sat on federal funds and when he releases any of them, claims total credit. There are people who don't like the way Kenney has treated the LGBTQ community,... 5/

I keep going back to the same position.

How can @Mike_Pence be expected to count either;

a) electors produced in elections that publicly operated in conflict with state legislated and US election laws (constitutions); or

b) count 2 slates of electors for the same state?

Dear Senators
Jacqui Lambie
Senator Rex Patrick,
I am writing to ask that you both vote against the legislation to extend the Indue card trials to any further sites and to end those currently on foot.I outline my reasons in the body of my letter and ask that you give my words

2. your serious consideration.
The Liberal and National parties have an ideological obsession with paternalistically controlling the lives of our First nations peoples and the unemployed. Demonizing both groups by constantly referring to their alcohol and drug abuse

3., gambling addiction and supposed high incidence of domestic/family violence. Other vulnerable groups have already been added to this list, those in receipt of a disability support pension (DSP) and students on Youth Allowance who also apparently need to have their income

4. controlled by Indue.
Without having any conclusive evidence that quarantining 80% of an individual’s social welfare payment to the Indue debit card prevents the purchase of alcohol or participation in gambling the Morrison government wants to continue the so called

5. "Indue card trials" and extend them to other sites experiencing social disadvantage.
More troublingly they also wish to extend the use of the Indue card to other social security recipients such as Aged Pensioners. There are only two groups who will benefit from

U better listen.

Our forefathers saw and axe provision for 2020 election fraud. We were warm last time [ds] tried to take America.

Then later after ww2 we didn’t listen to Patton or McCarthy.

Then later when one man and his brother publiQly said he would begin to drain the swamp the [ds] murdered both of them in broad daylight

Now here we are. Massive n your face voter/ballot fraud all across the natyon. They think we will just slumber again. Well fuck that. We will rise up. Ob#ur PQTUS/WarFighters r poised to crush this insurrection with swift extreme prejudice.

Who would be using someone in Germany to switch votes in elections

Don't fall for the MSM push on this transition of power or Bidens facade. That's for their sheep to keep them content. He will never be president. Everything is happening as predicted. Here's your nutshell.

The electoral college votes will be sealed and sent by special carrier

We're living in an era of #TruthDecay: Americans increasingly disagree about basic facts. This can have dire consequences.

Civic education is key to reversing the course. Our new report identifies ways to spark an American civics revival. [thread]

Let's start by defining "civics." You might be thinking of lessons from your high school government class. But our research explores a much broader set of skills (e.g., critical thinking, communication) that help students engage in democracy in an active and informed way.

We recently surveyed U.S. social studies teachers to learn more about:

🏫 the state of civic education and media literacy in public schools
✏️the challenges teachers face in promoting kids' civic development
🇺🇸 ways to enhance civic learning opportunities for students.

Here are just 4 of the opportunities we identified to help promote civic development in schools:

1️⃣Think outside the textbook.

Hands-on experiences, such as school-based elections and mock trials, could be used more often to engage students and help them learn about democracy.

2️⃣Incorporate civic education into other subjects.

Many teachers said that pressure to cover other subjects was a barrier to teaching civics. But there are ways to weave civics lessons into other subjects, including language arts and math.
