There are many of @HC_Richardson “Letters from An American” that should be highlighted. This one is of vital importance because it summarizes where we find ourselves today as we #resist those who mean to strip our rights, protections & freedom. open.substack.com/pub/heathercox…

Ideologically extreme MPs on the far-right of the Tory party, led by Bill Cash & Danny Kruger, have proposed a series of amendments to the Immigration Bill intended to reduce the legal avenues for asylum seekers & refugees who face being deported.
theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m…
In a very crowded field of Brextremist Tory MPs, 82-year-old Bill Cash is described by Ken Clarke as THE most "Eurosceptic", who was the leader of the Eurosceptics during the Maastricht Rebellion of the early 1990s, reaching its height in 1993.
Hardline Eurosceptic Tory MPs refused to support the government of John Major in votes on the implementation of the Maastricht Treaty (Treaty on European Union) in British law. Major's party had a small majority, giving the relatively small number of extremists great influence.

Holy shit! Die Anti-Trans-Gesetzgebung in den USA basiert komplett auf *einer* geheimen Gruppierung - die jetzt aufgeflogen ist!

Darin verschworen sich (republikanische) Abgeordnete mit der religiösen extremen Rechten, um die Existenz von trans Personen in den USA zu beenden. 🧵
In der Gruppe sind zudem auch Anti-Trans-Ärzt*innen und -Detransitioner. Alle spielen ihre spezifische Rolle. Die extrem rechten Gruppierungen wie die ADF ("Alliance Defending Freedom") schreiben die Gesetzesentwürfe, die Abgeordneten stellen diese offiziell vor, und als >>
vermeintliche "Expert*innen" werden dann gezielt die Ärzt*innen aus der Gruppe eingeladen, als vermeintlich Betroffene die Detransitioner.

Andere Stimmen werden kaum oder gar nicht zugelassen, die Gesetzgebungsverfahren werden damit eine komplett undemokratische Farce.

#Gleichberechtigung
Irgendwann wird eine zukünftige Generation von echt gleichberechtigten Individuen ungläubig zurückblicken und sich u.a. fragen, wie es sein konnte, dass Männer sich Frauen Jahrtausende lang quasi als Sklavinnen gehalten haben,

und wie die Gesellschaft auch insgesamt darunter gelitten hat. ZB. alleine schon das Thema #Fachkraeftemangel, familienfreundliche Arbeitszeiten und bezahlbare #Kitaplätze.

Vor allem denkt aber immer daran, wie es den ersten Frauen ergangen ist, die sich Freiheiten erkämpft haben, aber auch wie schwer es ist, Ungerechtigkeiten immer wieder zurück zudrängen.

The Supreme Court issued its decision on #RoeVWade on Jan. 22, 1973. It overturned #RoeVsWade on June 24, 2022

Essays I've written on #abortion. Several are also available in Arabic.

On my "illegal" abortion in Egypt and "legal" abortion in the US feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-…
I met Nobel Laureate Annie Ernaux last year and told her how moved I was by the recounting of her "illegal" abortion in Happening and shared with her the story of my "illegal" abortion.

My essay on the film adaptation of "Happening."

For as long as patriarchy can shroud abortion with silence, it will continue to stamp it in shame. So I broke my silence to break free of shame.

I wrote this for @DuaLipa's newsletter Service95.com

Unless the United States develops the stomach for a long-overdue reckoning with the white supremacist Christian theocracy that has been unabashed in its destruction of Roe v Wade, abortion rights will not be the only rights it destroyed. cnn.com/2023/01/20/pol… #RoeVsWade
This is a white supremacist Christian movement driven by white supremacist, Christian zealots who are patriarchal to the core.

And plenty of white women have helped build that theocracy

feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-wh… #RoeVsWade
U.S. media tiptoe around all of this because these white Christian zealots are the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and relatives of white reporters.

It's hard to see theocrats when they look like you

May I join the legion of others saying 'who the fuck is Fiona Bruce MP?'

What do we know about the anti-abortion evangelical Christian Bruce?

And as so few voters have even heard of her, how on earth is she the MP with the fourth biggest outside earnings?
Following her selection as the Conservative Party candidate for the Congleton constituency in 2010, Bruce denied allegations that she had been chosen following an orchestrated campaign by religious groups sympathetic to her evangelical Christian beliefs.
Bruce is a council member of the Evangelical Alliance - a national alliance & member of the World Evangelical Alliance. Founded in 1846, the activities of the Evangelical Alliance aim to promote evangelical Christian beliefs in government, media & society.

The coup that Trump unleashed on the US has turned inward. Ironically the “anarchists” that Trump accused those of us opposing him of being are on display in the GOP circus around #KevinMcCarthy. And by anarchism he did not mean the philosophy but chaos 👇🏽 h/t @rerutled
Lawmakers in the most powerful country in the world are effectively on pause:

This is the behaviour of a “failed” state. #KevinMcCarthy
Remember that the Republicans won a majority in the House if Representatives in elections held just months after the Supreme Court overturned #RoeVsWade—a goal they had been working on for 50yrs.

That they won is itself a disgrace.
