(It’s on BBC Radio 2 by the way, it’s like feminism never happened)

Can’t believe 4 men experts were asked about reproductive responsibility when the bulk of labour, time off work and caring for kids still falls to women. One of the most expensive rates for childcare in Europe.
There is a tax on women who have children. It’s 2025! @jeremyvine.bsky.social

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

The Proscription Of Palestine Action: Double Standards Laid Bare. On July 1, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper submitted a bill to Parliament that proposed the proscription of Palestine solidarity group Palestine Action. This decision came on the heels of Palestine Ac…

The law and policing were invented to mind property and land - not mind people and the environment. It’s gross 🤢

Love to see it!

Doctor Denies Woman Prenatal Care Because She’s Unmarried A Tennessee woman was forced to flee her state to seek treatment for her pregnancy.

A Tennessee woman was denied prenatal care by her doctor because she is "unwed."

Let's be clear: the Republican agenda is not pro-life or pro-family.

If it were, pregnant women wouldn't be forced to flee their home states to get basic prenatal care.

U.S. Quietly Drafts Plan to End Program That Saved Millions From AIDS

He’s suing his girlfriend’s doctor for prescribing abortion pills. Could this gut access everywhere? Texas lawyer Jonathan Mitchell is going after a California doctor, Here’s why that’s terrifying.

“The whole game for Jonathan Mitchell is to get into federal court, both because he wants to shut down doctors in shield-law states, like everyone in the anti-abortion movement, and because he wants a federal court to weigh in on the Comstock Act.”

My favourite story about the mace is that Bernadette McAliskey wanted to thwack the then British Home Secretary with it when he lied about the state killing of innocent civilians in Bloody Sunday - but she didn’t think she could lift it so she slapped him instead.

@womensaidni.bsky.social We stand with Women's Aid in expressing our sympathies with the family and loved ones of Vanessa Whyte and her children. Vanessa is the 28th adult women to be murdered in NI since 2020.

Remember to tell friends and colleagues - esp if they work with potential abortion seekers, Stanton are NOT an abortion clinic. They are closely affiliated with Precious Life and funded by an anti-abortion organisation in USA with the same name. @corporatewatch.bsky.social @enddbelfast.bsky.social

It’s time our health department did something about this. The struck off doctor was investigated for spreading misinformation about Covid, yet it’s somehow fine to spread misinformation about abortion

Belfast abortion advice clinic ‘targeting vulnerable women from warzones’, report claims A Belfast advice clinic has been “targeting vulnerable women coming from warzones” with anti-abortion rhetoric, a report has claimed.

Excellent piece by @ismiseliam.bsky.social in today's @belfasttelegraph.co.uk on Stanton, a rogue anti-abortion 'clinic' targeting migrants & refugees with “emotionally manipulative” tactics including telling service users they were “killing” or “murdering” their child. With global far-right ..[1/2]

Stanton Healthcare: the evangelical anti-abortion network targeting migrants and refugees.

Rogue health clinic, Stanton Healthcare Belfast, is part of a network of dark-money funded, Christian-right, anti-abortion centres operating internationally.

It presents itself as a health and abortion centre, however numerous clients report having experienced bullying and coercion to dissuade them from terminating their pregnancies.

Case studies on one of Stanton’s websites boast about working with Sudanese and Ukrainian women and it says the majority of its clients are migrants. Campaigners for women and migrant rights in Belfast are concerned that the organisation is targeting vulnerable women coming from war zones.

Alliance for Choice, @enddbelfast.bsky.social and @corporatewatch.bsky.social have launched a new report today on Stanton Healthcare Belfast, which is part of a network of dark-money funded, Christian-right, anti-abortion centres operating internationally. corporatewatch.org/stanton-belf...

Starmer saying he lost his grip on the welfare issue cos he was distracted by foreign policy. When did a Labour leader need to be reminded not to fuck over people with disabilities?!?!?

'Speaking at Saturday's anti-racism rally at Belfast City Hall, Helen Crickard from Reclaim the Agenda said it was about education not violence.

"We are disgusted violence against women and girls is being used in this way," she said.'

This unresolved horror show is why the general approach of political unionism to loyalist fronted racist mobs claiming migrants and Muslims are a threat to children, is tacit complicity. The alarm is coming from inside the house guys so stop trying to drown it out and fucking do something about it.

"...the guards approach people who aren't white and demand ID. If they can't produce it they're taken off the bus, while white passengers aren't."

[Since 2019] "We've never heard of a white person being taken off the bus."

Be good to get some stats where they do intervene 👀

I'm not saying policing is easy but this does not strike me as being either human rights compliant or trauma-informed. The impact of police standing by & letting terrorist mobs destroy people's homes is catastrophic for human rights, equality, personal safety & dignity. @policeserviceni.bsky.social

The people in power will try their hardest to maintain this status quo always. Anyone who tries to challenge it won’t make it to power.

Honest to god I feel like we are hours away from another atrocity similar to the Quinn boys who were killed when their house was set alight by loyalists who wer whipped up into a hate filled frenzy. We know how this ends

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship.

Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

The Freedom Flotilla sailing toward Gaza is not just carrying life-saving aid. It is carrying solidarity, hope and our shared humanity.
