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.

"... what Holden has accomplished is a detailed, meticulous exposure of right wing perfidy. It sounds like a dossier of damnation, and one whose evidence could form the basis of civil and legal cases against the Labour Party in general, and McSweeney and his boys in particular."

I can't stress enough how young staffers working for Republicans are basically all groyper Nazis now. The leaked texts yesterday saying "I love Hitler" and now swastikas on congressional offices.

Capitol Police called to investigate swastika in GOP congressional office

An American flag altered to include an image of a swastika was found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”.

Bang goes the rest of the international tourism trade.

We secured a court order today, re a police force who have been unwilling to hand over documents showing they operated a secret policy to exclude the trans section of the public from protection.

This vile old man is quite open about his ‘caring’ approach to eradicating trans people. We hear he is despised by his trans family member, can they contact us? We really need intel on him so we can speed things up prosecution wise. By DM only please, xx

Who blinked?

When they:

-lie, they've blinked

-call anti-fascism terrorism, they've blinked

-attempt to criminalize U.S. Citizens for exercising Consitutional Rights, they've blinked

-call refusal to accept a king, dictator or tyrant terrorism, they've blinked

They've blinked.

Don't blink.

What journalists can learn from how we covered the attack on trans rights in Trump's first 100 days.

Big takeway: based on analysis of a representative sample of articles, 70% of news stories about anti-trans executive orders didn’t quote a single trans person.

I'm still documenting changes out here in the 7+ year region. Still face (nose in particular), bum, and abdominal changes. Definitely had a mess of changes between 3-5 years and pictures look different between 5-7.
