❤️ Love trumps hate. @NicolaSturgeon is the first First Minister to lead Pride. #GlasgowPride
I tell you, you’ve not done your first Pride until you’ve done it with about 20kg of camera equiptment on your back. It’s one hell of a workout.
👕 The t-shirt @NicolaSturgeon is wearing can be bought to help support refugees here: helprefugees.org/choose-love/ Designed by Katharine Hamnett, it’s a play on her famous ‘CHOOSE LIFE’ slogan.

📈 Not only have @theSNP been consistent in their position on Brexit, its been a steady hand navigating the Scottish economy through rolling seas of Brexit. This can often be lost in the heat of the Brexit debate.

📰 Here's some of today's good news.
🏠 8,767 homes delivered for the year to September 2018

🏘 A total of 80,104 affordable homes have been provided since 2007

👩‍💼 Per head of population, 50% more affordable homes and more than five times as many social rented properties in Scotland than in England since 2014
👩‍🏫 Teacher numbers are now the highest since 2010 while achievement in primary schools is increasing. The number of working full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers rose by 447 to 51,959 in 2018.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 With the front page of today's @ScotNational in mind, by sheer coincidence, I bought a book last week called 'Addresses Against Incorporating Union 1706-1707'. The book cover.
Apparently, Glasgow was divided on the Union and it 'stimulated unusual levels of protest'. It also states that 'strong anti-union sentiment' was found amongst Glasgow artisans.
The artisans demonstrated literacy and political engagement by attaching papers reading 'No incorporating union' to their hats.

"The winner-take-all strain of capitalism also fosters nihilism by depriving certain classes of key ingredients that make or buttress a sense of purpose: work, family, social usefulness." What's left is envy, boredom & a desire for fame (or just notoriety) newrepublic.com/article/151603…
I don't agree with everything in this essay, but the diagnosis of Trumpism as nihilism seems right to me. Trumpism is an irritated reaction more than a real political movement. It will die with Trump's downfall. But the phenomena behind it won't.
Maybe the fundamental difference between the right and left is revealed in their respective responses to the loss of gods of all kinds (including secular ones like rights & laws); the former falls into nihilistic despair while the latter seeks solidarity

I want to expand on this a bit because I think we get really trapped in it - especially when we see feel good stories about reformed fascists.
There are people doing great work, like @cpicciolini, in going into hate groups and de-radicalizing people. But that’s a level of empathy and *a certain skill set* that the average person doesn’t possess.
Maybe you’ve seen the documentary with Daryl Davis, a black man who befriends members of the Klan and takes their robes when they leave. Great work, again, a level of empathy and a skill set that many people do not have.

Night #9: It was a quite rainy night, lots of honks but not a lot of pedestrian traffic & I was by myself, which lead to a lot of contemplation. 1 woman drove by very slowly w/ her middle finger up & yelled “F$&! YOU”. I wondered what about me made her so angry. Was it my...
“I really do care, do you?” sign? Or my “This is not normal” sign? Or my “This is what democracy looks like” sign? It was probably my “Honk! Impeach Trump! Vote Blue” sign. I tried my best to understand her anger & to justify her feelings, put myself in her shoes...
But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t relate to her hatred of me & couldn’t find a reason why she could be that angry. I realized 💡 that she was the epitome of a “trump supporter”. Trump fuels his supporters every single day with hatefilled rhetoric. His supporters...
