Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon.
The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.

Glad to be able to pop by the @ducuuo.bsky.social picket line as they were just getting set up this morning.
Staff are on strike in the cold & damp to say NO to compulsory redundancies. Management must engage with staff properly: co-design a recovery plan, do not impose cuts!

The Interim Principal clearly said on STV News there would be no redundancies. Now he is trying to make hundreds of us redundant. Was that misleading people? Was it lying? Total ineptitude?
Whatever it is, staff and students have no trust in this ‘leadership’.
It's so cool that when the right person lands a direct hit on ol' Elon he can't stop from lighting up and spinning his bowtie like a carnival game clown
I once had a landlord that owned the shopping plaza we had a store in.
He was busted by the town for dumping chemicals into the sewer system, several times.
He was the biggest asshole I've ever met in my life.
It takes a certain type.

So sorry I missed Saffy's departure, such lovely pictures.
I've been distracted by the situation here at Dundee which has resulted in me joining you in retirement (at 2 weeks notice) at the end of September.
I've loved seeing your pics of Saffy over the last few years. Recognisable anywhere.

My friend Mark Mardell was chucked off his Turkish Airlines flight at the weekend because he had Parkinson’s and his son had asked for assistance for him. (He’s written about it as a public post on Facebook but the link is proving hard to share outside,)
They’ve buried it so thoroughly my colleagues know little about the thousands of studies on problems… and even more importantly… almost nothing about the solutions.
Hahahahaha!
"Can't expand economy without healthy workforce."
Letting Covid disable so many people in the UK was a deliberate choice by Johnson & his pathetic cronies. If the economy will continue to struggle as a result, then we know who to blame, don't we?
The impact of the recent VS scheme at the University of Dundee on the art and design student experience. Unsurprising and no doubt similar challenges being seen across all academic disciplines. thejutejournal.com/2025/10/13/f...

When the Gillies report was published, the expectation was that governance at the University of Dundee would improve.
In all truthfulness it’s got worse. Much worse.
Have a look through my website wgsaraband.com and get yourself some handmade, unique art made with all the strengths, faults and emotions of an actual human being.
Added bonus of supporting an independent Portuguese-Scottish artist 😉
Our members have voted to support industrial action to fight against job cuts passed today!
In the ballot our 72% of members were in favour of strike action, and 90% in favour of action short of strike. Turnout was 58%.
Thank you to all members, reps and officials for helping us get the vote out.
Thank you @ducuuo.bsky.social comrades for returning this result.
We will not give up. We care about our university, our students and our city. It has been a very long time since anyone at the top did. That’s got to change.
The implication from Labour is that we, migrants, don't contribute enough, don't integrate enough, don't work enough.
Meanwhile I've volunteered in political activism for no pay, I've taken Gàidhlig evening classes, I make a living as an artist creating abstract renditions of Scottish landscapes.
Remember when UEG told us “there was no plan B” for further redundancies.
Now we know, from the published Recovery Plan, that at the same time they were proposing over 400 future job losses including over 350 redundancies.
We cannot trust their words.
Vote in our ballot now to protect jobs.
Painted this after some random troll sent me a message on Instagram saying my art "reeked of communist degeneracy", and I can't thank him enough for the high praise.

4 of the 5 criteria to define genocide have been confirmed by this report - two years of this madness unfolding before our eyes whilst our political class, particularly Starmer and his government, gaslight us.

"Wind and solar energy infrastructure is essentially worthless when it is dark outside, and the wind is not blowing."
This is a real tweet from the official account of the US Department of Energy.
The Scottish Government kicked out a proposal for 632 compulsory redundancies and that was replaced with 300 voluntary. Our interim principal submitted a "Recovery Plan" (aka evisceration) with over 400 more redundancies and said we were happy with it.

You said there would be no redundancies on national television.
Then confirmed on 1st July to 1000 staff and @thecourier.co.uk there is no Plan ‘B’ for redundancies.
Then six weeks later it’s revealed your failed “recovery plan” wanted 190 compulsory redundancies.

Now what does this remind me of??
