“The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for,” Barnhart said back in 2018, remarking wryly on the movement’s priorities. “They never make demands of you … They don’t need money, education or childcare … They allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn.” So true! #WomensRights

If they were serious about this, the UK would block all sites that platform the likes of Andrew "Pee Pee" Tate and other dangerous abuse enablers

Yes, hunt down the little wannabe rapists but stop the problem at the source too

Unfortunately, starmer idolises big tech and is too weak to challenge them

There are mechanisms to block sites over copyright etc so why not use them

#Trump administration refers #Maine to #DOJ over #TransgenderAthletes

by Brooke Migdon - 04/11/25

"The Department of Education on Friday referred a #TitleIX investigation into Maine schools to the #JusticeDepartment after the state failed to reach a resolution with the Trump administration over a finding that it violated federal anti-discrimination law by allowing transgender students to participate in girls’ sports.

" 'The Department has given Maine every opportunity to come into compliance with Title IX, but the state’s leaders have stubbornly refused to do so, choosing instead to prioritize an extremist ideological agenda [sic] over their students’ safety, privacy, and dignity,' said Craig Trainor, acting assistant Education secretary for [WHAT A JOKE] civil rights.

"The Education Department in its announcement said it will also initiate administrative proceedings to determine whether to terminate federal #K12 education funding for Maine’s state education department, including formula and discretionary grants.

"'The Maine Department of Education will now have to defend its discriminatory practices before a Department administrative law judge and in a federal court against the Justice Department,' Trainor said. 'Governor [Janet] Mills would have done well to adhere to the wisdom embedded in the old idiom — be careful what you wish for. Now she will see the Trump Administration in court.'

"Both the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which recently began investigating schools and states that allow transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports, said in March that Maine had violated Title IX, the federal civil rights law against sex discrimination that the Trump White House says prohibits trans athletes from competing on girls’ and women’s teams."

Apologies for the previous boost, I'm not one to push that fucker's bullshit into your timelines and certainly not his picture but the wholesale disenfranchisement of married women? ??

This would affect not only people registering for the first time, but also when moving to another state and however else they can find to weird this weapon.

We should be screaming like our hair is on fire.

A Woman Spent 2 Nights In Jail After She Miscarried. Advocates Say It's Only The Beginning.

It was the first such arrest in Georgia, but it likely won't be the last.

By Paige Skinner, April 8, 2025

Excerpt: "'This case impacts the young woman from Tifton, but it also impacts every single woman out there of reproductive age, who knows she can get pregnant, who knows she can miscarry,' Georgia state Sen. Sally Harrell told HuffPost. 'It makes every woman of reproductive age afraid.'"

The Shocking Far-Right Agenda Behind the Facial Recognition Tech Used by ICE and the FBI

Thousands of newly obtained documents show that Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

Luke O’Brien in Mother Jones
May+June 2025 Issue

Link: motherjones.com/politics/2025/

From Mother Jones Magazine: As Luke reports, company founder Hoan Ton-That: solicited input from eugenicists and right-wing extremists while building Clearview and, from the outset, he and his associates discussed deploying the tech against immigrants, people of color, and the political left. All told, this new reporting paints a chilling portrait of an ideologically driven company whose powerful surveillance technology is now in the hands of the Trump administration, as it bulldozes democratic institutions and executes an authoritarian takeover.
