UK TERFs & the US right joined forces YEARS ago!
The UK don’t have the same Christian evangelical infrastructure to promote anti-abortion ideology directly, so the ADF use a different tactic to infiltrate the UK - transphobia.
They even use the same “free speech” “we’ve been silenced” playbook.

If the UK leaves the ECHR it would mean:
• No right to appeal when UK courts get it wrong
• Less protection if punished for striking/joining a union
• Fewer limits on bosses spying on you
• Weaker safeguards for your beliefs/religion on the job
• Less fairness if treated badly by a public employer

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.
Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people.
These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

this is just another version of the issues discussed in this short thread:
This thread and its point is so unbelievably important — and why it is so absolutely essentially to accurately describe what Trump does and how he’s done it. Otherwise, you — looking primarily at journalists and lawmakers — are just making it easier for him to create that reality.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

The chaos at the CDC should alarm everyone.
One former staffer said it's become a “death cult.”
They’re purging health experts, undermining public trust, and jeopardizing our preparedness for future pandemics. The damage they’re doing will cause immeasurable suffering.
We can’t let that happen.

I’m going to reiterate here that what may seem obvious to you is not obvious to wide swathes of the U.S. right now.
We are in a situation where people curate the information they see and discard things they don’t want to see.
There is a massive disinformation campaign being run by RFK Jr.

Thank you.
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
