Rose Docherty’s latest stunt arrest is a timely reminder that exactly 1 year ago, these men were outside the Glasgow Sandyford Centre, a clinic that offers services to rape survivors, calling women murderers. This was just before there buffer zones came into force. This was the abuse women endured.

Two preachers, one holding a sign that says ‘babies are murdered here’ the word ‘murdered is in red.

One of the biggest threats to reproductive rights: a NYT piece showed how US Christian fundamentalists hijack free speech concerns to promote anti-abortion hate. The money involved is obscene, it’s unfair to expect charities and progressive groups to fight this well-funded interference alone.

That’s really pathetic. There are a lot of wonderful people in America who are fighting fascism but it’s time they lost their tourist industry. It’s particularly dangerous for women. Any unexpected pregnancy problems and you could die out there www.thenational.scot/news/2554410...

Agree with your sentiment 100% :)

Please can we have “trans people” rather than “transpeople”. Thanks :)

It never ceases to amaze how many 'feminist' Terfs are happy to stand shoulder to shoulder with anti-choice activists.
They would throw body autonomy under the bus to get at transpeople.

We are anti-fascist, not ANTIFA

The reason MAGA are hooking into the term ANTIFA as a movement is it did exist (1932) in Germany until Hitler/Nazis beat, killed, imprisoned or deported them

MAGA NAT-C's are just copying & repeating Nazi processes to demonise & isolate right minded people.

We should all be anti-fascist because fascism is bad. If you’re not anti-fascist, you’re pro fascist.

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · 3d

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

They are also working with high profile terfs in the U.K. pretending they want to ‘save women’s sport’ all while making plans to turn our country into a theocracy where the state owns our bodies

This piece suggests Nigel Farage's appearance in Congress last month was orchestrated by the ADF. He's gone from 'no stance' on abortion to calling for a debate on it.

This is how the ADF works: small, incremental successes. The first would be the parliamentary debate Farage has called for.

Honestly, I’ve been banging on about this for years. They have been desperately trying to scupper our buffer zone laws with stunt arrests and legal cases. Human rights orgs in USA have them a designated extremist hate group.

Emma Haslett @emmahaslett.bsky.social · 1d

This is a huge story but massively under the radar in the UK.

A US Christian legal org called the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is working to roll back abortion rights here using the same playbook it used in the US: briefing politicians, watching, waiting.

When I was in Canberra this summer I was SO paranoid about bears. I love them but they terrify me. My ghost would just exit me and go 🤣 but I never saw any

This is real. Actually real. King Trump is crying about not liking his photo after Time magazine crawled up his backside

Trump looking as gross as ever on the magazine cover and lacking in hair

Trump posting on ‘truth social’, ‘Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one.
Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?’

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe.

🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations)
🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved...
