They Helped Topple Roe v. Wade. Now Their Sights Are Set on Britain.

We first reported on the anti-abortion Christian conservative group ADF’s ramping up of its UK operations in 2023.

Now, with Trump in power and Farage ascendant, its role as a transatlantic power broker is growing.

Yes. Quite a widespread feeling today. I don't believe that these are the base instincts of this nation. Maybe they are for 20% of this nation. By chasing after them, they are losing the 80%.

Trump β€˜Alarmists’ Were Right. We Should Say So. Commentators who got it wrong wouldn’t listen, won’t learn, and can’t lead.

Alarmists were largely right about Trump, anti-alarmists badly wrong, some sorta admit it, but @polphilpod.bsky.social is unimpressed.

"None could hide their contempt for the alarmists, even in their big β€˜my bad’ moments... All of them seemed unable to say what they got wrong."

Politico should not amplify this comment. To be found guilty of embezzlement carries a prison sentence.

Today I am proud of women. I believe this is the only person to turn down the pardon and Bishop Budde had the courage of her convictions.

Did you do that? It is lovely!

Me too. Suddenly realised what it would mean to lose it.

Yes. The outcome of the case was that Salvini is acquitted in full. The judgment is expected in 90 days. It is of course a moment of triumph for Salvini. A dangerous time.

Yes. Always in favour of Salvini. Today the Italian judges are expected to rule on the kidnapping of the Spanish rescue boat Open Arms and this is the latest of several interventions (I think you can read it in English): www.corriere.it/politica/24_...

I am currently in Italy and he is intervening in Italian politics too.

December 3, 2024 For an astonishing six hours today, South Korea underwent an attempted self-coup by its unpopular president, Yoon Suk Yeol, only to see the South Korean people force him to back down as they reasserte...

Heather Cox Richardson’s recap about the attempted coup in South Korea. In short: they fought; they won (at least for now). Let’s keep going!

I believe that Dr Ally Louks has a bsky account. Tagging her so that she can see this support. @allylouks.bsky.social

I think that it could have been a contributory factor. Of course you are right and we should not judge Biden. It would have been hard not to pardon his son and most people would have acted like him.

We get it, yes. But some of us feel heartbroken all over again. No reason why Biden should be heroic in the face of such an outcome. Yet some people are. My first reaction was: now Trump has truly won and decency is truly dead. I am wrong though, because people like Alexei Navalny exist(ed).

Please, read Bill Browder’s books, Red Notice and Freezing Order. They document forensically the murderous Russian regime. The only surprise in this BBC article is that the accused TALKED about killing, but did not carry out the deed. @billbrowder.bsky.social

This is plausible because if there's one thing you associate with ballet stars it's clumsiness.

If anyone has got any idea on how to stop this from growing further, please share. The feeling of powerlessness is overpowering (quite literally!)
