Love how transphobes and anti-indpendence people are trying to make us seem like some evil nationalists that only want independence because we're xenophobic or something
As if England isn't one of the most nationalist, xenophobic and racist countries in the world. As if there isn't a lot of fucking xenophobia towards scottish people in England. As if England isn't literally trying to block a law to help trans people
Sorry we don't want you blocking our laws just because you are tories and terfs

Millions of solar panels are piling up in warehouses across the Continent because of a manufacturing battle in China, where cut-throat competition has driven the world’s biggest panel-makers to expand production far faster than they can be installed.
The supply glut has caused solar panel prices to halve. This sounds like great news for the EU, which recently pledged to triple its solar power capacity to 672 gigawatts by 2030. That’s roughly equivalent to 200 large nuclear power stations.
In reality, though, it has caused a crisis. Under the EU’s “Green Deal Industrial Plan”, 40pc of the panels to be spread across European fields and roofs were meant to be made by European manufacturers.
However, the influx of cheap Chinese alternatives means that instead of tooling up, manufacturers are pulling out of the market or becoming insolvent. Last year 97pc of the solar panels installed across Europe came from China.[...]
The best estimates suggest that about 90 gigawatts worth of solar panels are stashed around Europe. That solar power capacity roughly equates to 25 large nuclear power stations the size of Hinkley Point C.[...]
The sheer scale of the problem was revealed in a recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
It warned that although the world was installing at record rates of around 400 gigawatts a year, manufacturing capacity was growing far faster.
By the end of this year solar panel factories, mostly in China, will be capable of churning out 1,100 gigawatts a year – nearly three times more than the world is ready [sic] for. For comparison, that’s about 11 times [!!!!] the UK’s entire generating capacity.
For some solar power installers, it’s a dream come true. Sagar Adani is building solar farms across India’s deserts, with 54 in operation and another 12 being built.
His company, Adani Green Energy, is constructing one solar farm so large that it will cover an area five times the size of Paris and have a capacity of 30 gigawatts – equal to a third of the UK’s entire generating capacity.
“I am installing tens of millions of solar panels across these projects,” says Adani. “Almost all of them will have been imported from China. There is nowhere else that can supply them in such numbers or at such prices.
“China saw the opportunity before others, it looked forward to what the world is going to set up 10 years on. And because they scaled up in the way they did, they were able to reduce costs substantially as well.”
That scaling up meant the capital cost of installing solar power fell from around £1.25m per megawatt of generating capacity in 2015 to around £600,000 today – a decrease of more than 50pc – making it cheaper than almost any other form of generation, including wind.[...]
“Up to 2012 there was a healthy looking European solar panel industry but it was actually very reliant on subsidies and preferential treatment.
“But then European governments and other customers started buying from China because their products were so much cheaper. And China still has cheap labour and cheap energy plus a massive domestic market. It’s hard to see Europe recovering from those disadvantages.”
Trying sososo hard to make this sound like a bad thing [23 Mar 24]

A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies. The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.  “This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God,” one convoy organizer said on a recent planning call. “We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil,” said another. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. It is time for the remnant to rise.”
Yeah, because the Crusades worked out so well 900 years ago.
These chucklefucks are going to get people killed. And of course, Alex Jones is involved.

It took a Saskatoon jury less than two hours to reject Travis Patron's claim that he followed an off-duty RCMP officer around a downtown mall, yelling racial insults, as a matter of national security. "Having a jury of his peers, of Canadians, saying no, this wasn't right and what you did was wrong, is exactly what our society stands for and that upheld the administration of justice," prosecutor Lana Morelli said in an interview. "Some of the things that Mr. Patron put forward as part of his defence in my mind didn't make sense, because it's not an issue of national security that two individuals that have different skin colours are walking around together."

« In a country defined by the ongoing existential battle over whether this will be a white nationalist society or a multiracial democracy, the majority of people reject the idea of making America white again. Most people in America prefer the Democrats’ vision of a multiracial America (however halfheartedly it may be expressed at times) to the raw, unapologetic white nationalism espoused in coded and not-so-coded ways by Republicans. With the sole exception of the 2004 presidential election, the Democratic nominee has won the popular vote in every single presidential election over the past 30 years.
Republicans understand this reality better than Democrats which is why they ferociously focus on suppressing the vote far more than Democrats emphasize expanding voting. »
— Steve Phillips at The Guardian.
Republicans will use every trick they know to suppress the non-MAGA vote. In addition to legal methods such as restricting voting hours and making absentee voting more difficult, they will work with their partners in Russia to spread disinformation to discourage moderate and liberal voters from casting ballots.
We need to do more grassroots work to get out the vote. There's no substitute for person to person contact to identify potential supporters and to make sure they vote. And the earlier we get started, the better.
At the very least, we need to be certain that like-minded people are properly registered. We should not be reticent about asking others whether they're registered.
Because voting is highly geographic, it's necessary to remind people that they need to register at their new address after they move. Even if you move across the street, you need to register at THAT address. After you've reminded the people who have moved, follow up two weeks later to make sure they've done so.
If friends think that voting is important to you, they are more likely to vote when the time comes.
I Will Vote

A new civics training program for public school teachers in Florida says it is a “misconception” that “the founders desired strict separation of church and state,” the Washington Post reports. Driving the news: That and other content in a state-sponsored training course has raised eyebrows among some who have participated and felt it was omitting unflattering information about the country's founders, pushing inaccuracies and centering religious ideas, per the Post. The Constitution explicitly bars the government from “respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Scholars interpret the passage to require a separation of church and state, per the Post. In another example, the training states that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were against slavery, while omitting the fact that each owned enslaved people.
Florida training program: "Misconception" that founders wanted separation of church and state
So ... DeSantis and his Fascist supporters want to just straight up lie to generations of children about the history of American violence, oppression, racism, and they are using the law to do that.
I’m speechless. I haven’t finished my coffee yet, and it’s early, but ... holy fuck. I am speechless.

So quick post since I just woke up- but this is a psa to everyone really (but especially to people outside Wales) to be careful about how you express support for Welsh language preservation. I've censored the name of the reblogger here (this is a screenshot of a reblog of my post about the petition to use only Ynys Môn for the island instead of Anglesey) and I will say, while I (and many others in Wales) appreciate the support from overseas, its important not to accidentally use white nationalist slogans in doing so!
No animosity directed at the commenter, I feel like it was an innocent mistake. But "Keep Wales Welsh" is a white nationalist slogan and we don't do that here.
I can see where the mistake has happened. In English there are no separate words for Welsh (language) and Welsh (person) while there is in Welsh- 'Cymreig' means Welsh in the sense of being of Wales (e.g. 'llaeth Cymreig' is Welsh milk), while 'Cymraeg' means Welsh in the sense of the Welsh language (e.g. 'Ydych chi'n siarad Cymraeg?' means do you speak Welsh?). The commenter probably intended to mean 'Keep Wales Welsh' in the sense of 'Keep Wales Welsh language'. However, white nationalists use that slogan to mean 'Keep Wales ethnically* Welsh'. Which is a big nono around here and on this blog. We don't do that here.
[* There is no such thing as ethnically Welsh either, but it's a line trotted out by white nationalists in Wales to justify their ethnonationalism.]
There are many non-white Welsh people and also many non-white Welsh speakers. Being Welsh and the ability to speak Welsh are not in any way connected to race or ethnicity. Welsh nationalism ≠ white nationalism - there's no justification for using racist, white nationalist arguments to secure Welsh independence. An independent Wales should be a diverse independent Wales - an independent Wales inclusive of all races, nationalities, disabilities, sexualities and genders.
