In the dark welsh valley,
On the mountain side,
Lay the little children
Close to where they died.
Their little lives are ended
Before they reach their goal,
Tender little children
Have paid the price of coal.
We will never forget - Aberfan 21-10-66 #AberfanDisaster

These are just some of the messages we've received from Together Alliance supporters to the @rnli.
Thank you for showing that unity is more powerful than hate, and that we're better together.

On the 64th anniversary of Glasgow's farewell procession for the city's trams, there can be only one contender for this week's Friday pub: Ye Olde Tramcar Vaults at the corner of Maryhill and Hopehill Rd, seen here in 1958.

We've lost a guiding light π€ The great Gloria Steinem has passed away at age 92. A life dedicated to the betterment of women and girls. What a legacy. There was no one like her, and there never will be. Thank you, Gloria.

Today in Scotland a woman is so unsafe in her own home she fears being killed by the man tells her he loves her. She might not make it to tomorrow. Today dozens of women will be raped and carry the trauma for the rest of their lives. Today hundreds of children will cower as their mothers become another domestic abuse statistic. If they survive, they will carry the psychological scars forever. It does not have to be this way. We can all do something right now to end this.

π¨ Right now, Tommy Robinson is claiming to speak for us.
Itβs the ultimate distraction from the very real problems we face.
But we know the truth: migrants arenβt the problem, far-right billionaires are.
β Share this post to make it clear: they don't speak for us.

The word "NOT" is highlighted in bright red, while the rest of the text is in a light cream color. In the center of the image are the floating heads of two men: Tommy Robinson on the left and Elon Musk on the right. At the bottom of the graphic, smaller white text reads: "Hate wonβt pay our rent. Division wonβt fix the NHS."

π’ ποΈ Library closures go far beyond bookβlending.
Libraries are the NHS for the soul, free at the point of use and vital for learning, digital access and community life.
We need investment, not cuts.

La Pasionaria on Clyde Street in Glasgow. A favourite of many people, this statue is a memorial to the 2,100 British volunteers who fought against Francoβs forces in the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 1939. Of these, 534 died, including 65 from Glasgow.
