So, now SCOTUS’s job is to hinder judges from doing theirs? Because that’s how we run a democracy? #SCOTUS #democracy

To think that these events happen less than hundred years apart is terrifying. It’s like we refuse to learn from our mistakes.

If “religious objections” can motivate withdrawing children from learning from professionally selected content, does this mean we can start withdrawing them from biology with evolutionary elements, history that acknowledges slavery, or books that affirms white, heterosexual norms? #education #LGBTQ

This is what one of the world’s leading democracies has come to: subjecting elected leaders to homophobia—dead ones, no less. What’s next? Are we going to revoke Milk’s Presidential Medal of Freedom? #HarveyMilk #PeteHegseth #homophobia

Apparently, death by gulls is a thing among Tories in Scotland? Also, no such thing as a seagull. @andrewhunterm.bsky.social you all should do a deep dive into this misnomer. #DeathByGulls #seagull

With a gullible guy in the White House, why would Putin and Netanyahu need any allies? All you’ve got to do is to feed his ego, apparently. #putin #netanyahu #trump

Instead of using the chance to treat #ReproductiveHealth in #England and #Wales as a human right parliament voted to pass an amendment to laws that make #abortion a criminal act—stipulating that women terminating outside the legal framework can’t be prosecuted. #FeministFriday #HumanRights

Yesterday in Parliament—fter years of campaigning by @stonewalluk.bsky.social and others—the government committed to bringing penalties for anti-LGBTQ+ and disability hate crime in line with hate crimes against religious and racial minorities. Happy Pride month, y'all! #LGBTQRights #HateCrime

I love that #TomHoman speaks about the US as the greatest nation on earth. Has he checked the cost of Higher Education lately? A 5-year university degree in the US: $100,000–300,000. In Sweden: free of charge. Or health care? My husband’s appendicitis in the US: $35,000. In Sweden: SEK 400 (~$40).

It's cynical and it's sad, but at this very point in time, there is a degree of relief to the fact that the victim was not a Republican—and that the shooter was white. The way this would have been politicized and weaponized, had the circumstances been different, is scary. #MelissaHortman #minnesota

Can't believe @scotsman.com left out Adichie in their 10 highlights of this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival. That's bold. But they have Oseman up there, so I'll forgive it. #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie #AliceOseman #EdBookFest #TheScotsman #BookChat #booksky

In April a student in #Belgium was found guilty of rape but won’t face any custodial sentence, as the court ruled that his “youth”, clean criminal record, and “promising future” as a gynecologist were grounds to grant a suspended sentence. Yup, the #Patriarchy is alive and well. #FeministFriday

Trump says winning the popular vote means that anything he does has the support of the people. Facts say that he got less than 32% of elible voters. That does not suggest the “support of the people”. #PopularVote #trump #FactsMatter
