Today I learned this about treason.

«The Statute of Treason of 1351 (England) ... Petty treason applied to a wife who murdered her husband or a servant who murdered his or her master. Both were regarded as a betrayal of loyalty»

Prioritising the rights of men who wish they were the opposite sex is misogyny.

The lack of imagination in prioritising men over women, socially, legislatively, politically, is misogyny.

There are other ways to protect trans identifying people without destroying women's rights!

I'm so sick of it.

A quick (incomplete) list of reasons I challenge "trans rights activism" as it currently manifests ...

Bravo.

Sur Wikipédia, des internautes ne cessent de tenter d'associer le parti nazi ou Hitler à la gauche, et caviardent leur rattachement à l'extrême droite.

C'est vertigineux.

Les héritiers politiques *directs* du fascisme & des nazis critiquent le fait que l'on associe l'extrême droite à... la Shoah.

Alors que l'extrême droite *EST* responsable de la Shoah.

C'est littéralement cette vidéo (qui, hélas, n'a plus rien de parodique aujourd'hui) :

Indulging in absurd anti-U.S. rhetoric? You’re doing a solid for Moscow and Beijing The U.S. is not the partner that it once was, but in a world at risk of major war, it is doing exactly what we all need it to do.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

I used to defend Columbus as 'magnificent.' I don't anymore. IN 1997 I wrote a column for Columbus Day weekend that opened on a smart-alecky note: "Say," I asked, "is it OK to admire Christopher Columbus again?" Ever since the quincentennial of Columbus's first...
