Horrifying and dangerous ruling. There are laws criminalising women for making choices concerning their bodily autonomy. There are laws about only using a birth name for voting records which again will affect women. Now there are laws against trans people, the medication and treatment they can no longer have. To date, I have not seen a single law curtailing the rights of any men, especially Caucasian men. #Gilead #ProChoice #Autonomy #TransRights Court’s gender-affirming care ruling will impair all sex-based rights, say critics | US supreme court | The Guardian

Someone wanted to cause trouble. Imagine being an Israel supporter and walking into the middle of the crowd supporting #Kneecap in London this morning. No one rose to the bait. He was booed and jeered and the cops took him out of the crowd. What a POS. #KneecapLiamOhanna

These archaic laws need to be taken off the statue books as a matter of urgency. Given #Labour’s complicity and cowardice in the face of #ReformLtd, and the busy underground persuasions and donations by various Evangelical Forced-Birth groups this must be fixed immediately. #ProChoice #Autonomy #MyBodyMyChoice British women are being jailed under archaic abortion laws.

Women will really have the right to choose if politicians vote to revoke this Victorian-era legislation, writes Guardian columnist Frances Ryan
Meanwhile - that #Israel started all of this, with extra firepower quietly diverted from Ukraine to Israel, is being quietly ignored. That #Israel has murdered hundreds of thousands in Gaza over the last almost two years is regularly described as ‘Israel must be helped to defend itself’; And yes, Hezbollah murdered/kidnapped around two thousand, but the revenge hasn’t been on Hezbollah -it’s been on all the starving traumatised innocents trapped with no exit, no food, no water, nothing. #Israel also regularly drops bombs, set exploding pagers, disrupted imports/exports for all adjoining countries - and still the West supports #Israel with information, munitions, services, etc. #Netanyahu laughs in the Western governments faces as he ignores all laws, international agreements, arrest warrants, even his own people and those in his government. Still the West supports him - why??? #Genocide #Gaza #Iran #Lebanon #Syria #WestBank #WarCrimes #USA #UK Iranian strikes hit Israel as conflict enters fourth day

Iran condemns Israeli attack on state TV as war crime
Iran has condemned Israel's attack on a state TV building in Tehran as a war crime, and called on the UN Security Council to take action.
The buck passing between the government and the #TERF lot at EHRC is quite something. I can only hope they have destroyed themselves in their determination and hate against a tiny minority group of people: people who just want to live their best private lives, like anyone else. That judgement by the Supreme Court at the behest of For Women Scotland has disempowered many CIS women, cast them under suspicion for not fitting some bizarre imaginary ideal of femininity, and opened women to accusation by toilet and changing room ‘police’Bizarrely it has also put men who may not appear sufficiently macho to others in the same uncomfortable spotlight and likelihood of bullying. The SC ruling protects no one: and makes life worse for almost everyone. #SistersNotCisters #TransRights #Autonomy #Equality #EHRC Almost 10,000 gender certificates granted amid rise in Gen Z applications – The Irish News

Irish rap trio Kneecap have named the legal team which will defend band member Liam Ó hAnnaidh against a terror charge.
Because he’s an attention seeker and the media are unquestionably complicit. That the BBC give him so much time, when he also has a big presence on GBNews is unforgivable. No interviewer seems to prepare questions for him that would expose his racism, his hypocrisy, his involvement with far-right, even members of his parties involvement with loyalist agitators in Northern Ireland - ie; the opposition to the NIProtocol and financial donations to the TUV. And frankly Labour as as bad, because they don’t call him out in HoC, where they could make statements about him and his party without fear of litigation.
