The @newsagents.bsky.social framed the ADF’s growing presence in the UK as a surprising new export from the US, when they've been infiltrating the UK for YEARS!

It's willful blindness/ hypocricy by journalists who have amplified the transphobic narratives that opened the door to these groups!

"The ADF has chosen Nigel Farage to focus on, building up this ally who has the potential to be a JD Vance-like figure in the future."

Can the Christian group that influenced the overturning of Roe v. Wade bring its extreme views to the UK?

Why? Because we DON'T have proportional representation so more left wing parties splitting the vote has a massive impact under FPTP. The Dutch don't suffer that

In complete seriousness, what does the government think this will do in terms of suppressing pro Palestinian sentiment long term? In fact it seems like it would only further concretize the tenacity of those who feel so strongly.

A British couple who are members of a grassroots pro-Palestine organisation which had its bank account frozen have had their joint personal account closed without explanation.

Not at all when you consider how and why Truss and Badenoch selected the EHRC Chair & Commissioners... For their known alignment with Truss (Heritage Foundation) and Badenoch views. A real Labour gov would have kicked out the ideologues at the earliest opportunity

it’s hateful to have to do so, but make sure to mention the blowback on tall cis women, GNC cis women, butch lesbians, and any cis woman who doesn’t look feminine enough for the toilet police. MPs will be more inclined to sympathise if they understand that this isn’t *just* a trans issue.
