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.

She’s describing the Gestapo but it could very easily be ICE. The religious right are so scared of books that they threaten librarians with violence. You should check out this documentary on BBC 4 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

It’s Banned Books Week. I think the Diary of Anne Frank is one of the most profound and important books of our time. Also one of the most banned books in America. Not because of the distressing content. She wrote a few paragraphs about crushes on girls and starting her periods.

I guess spending your life stalking women, trawling their accounts for photos of their kids and even tattoos must cause some kind of eye strain. 🚩

This morning I have written to the Cabinet Secretary for Justice @angelaconstance.bsky.social MSP to register our concern over plans by the Home Secretary to provide new protest policing powers to police forces in England and Wales and to ascertain if the CabSec intends to mirror this in Scots law.

Thanks for the reminder- have made a note to watch it. My parents having lived through the Second World War trained as librarians and understood the significance of being able to read and the power of what can be read

It’s Banned Books Week. This documentary is terrifying and you should watch it. It’s about the far right targeting librarians (including with violence). I know teachers in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 who have been targeted. The homegrown fascists use this playbook #TheLibrarians www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

Trump calling Greta Thunberg ‘angry’ and ‘crazy’ is textbook misogyny. But I expect no better from an adjudicated rapist who is emboldened from being elevated to the White House.

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home.

Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

Wow, Ofcom doing their job at last? Great work from Good Law project, what utterly vile and hateful comments.

We're pleased that the loathsome comments carried by GB News, which equated being LGBT+ with being a paedophile, have been found in breach of the Ofcom code, following 71,000 complaints collected by @goodlawproject.bsky.social. pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/new...

He did but I’m really not surprised given he used to troll Janey Godley and kick her when she was down. That’s who he is.

While the Tory bigot, Murdo Fraser is having a normal one, I’m remembering one of the best books I’ve ever read was ‘Radical Dharma’. Anger can be social justice fuel. Get radicalised. And, Murdo, try learning to spell Buddhist 🤡

Murdo tweeting Rangers FC ‘No more vegans, Buddhists or Green Party members please’ with Buddhists spelled incorrectly and no respect for punctuation.

Charlie Kirk’s legacy. Radicalised boys and dead girls.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 4d

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.

Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.

He's now charged with murder.

plenty of people unjustly blame all jews for the actions of the israeli government, but it’s straight up white supremacist gaslighting to pretend that israel is the only reason people feel entitled to commit violence against jewish people.
