I often just wish I could ask them, what made you like this?!

Seriously, how does someone who claims to be a patriot and claims to love their country and democracy, get off at the idea of denying people the right to vote?

Truthfully, MAGA sound like Nazis' day by day. Very cruel, while being very calculated, and truly sure of themselves, regardless of how morally and ethnically bankrupt they are.

#Vote #VotingRights #WomensRights

A strange thing being said on Facebook.

The MAGA nut jobs are trolling women, who are upset concerning their voter rights, as a result of the "Save Act" which may make it harder for women to vote, if they changed their name.

The thing they keep telling them is:

" Not only are you not authorized, you're not authorized to be authorized. "
What kind of nonsense is that?

toughness and punishment, including tougher jail sentences for malefactors. He thinks ministers are too constrained by administrative law, procedures and requirements about natural justice, human rights, and due process. With the help of weak and woke judges and quasi-judges in administrative tribunals, bad people, or people we can do without, are getting away with murder, he believes.

The shortage of developed policy is not necessarily a big minus among ordinary voters. Most expect a return to the broad policies of the Morrison government and its style of operating. That ought to strike horror among those who saw robodebt, the scale of party-partisan rorting and the lack of transparency and accountability in that government, with Dutton as much responsible as any other senior ministers. But incompetence and maladministration are not to be taken as what voters want, even if there is a serious risk that it is what they will get. Rather they expect a government in which the Coalition will preside over the economy, responding to events without much in the way of an agenda.

In many respects, though they will deny this absolutely, they mean following the broad guidance of experienced and bland public servants with the attention to detail Coalition ministers and minders tend to lack. The task these days, after all, is more about outputs for favoured constituencies than outcomes for the citizens who need it most.

That, alas, under Albanese as much as Morrison, is the new reason for winning elections.

“The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for,” Barnhart said back in 2018, remarking wryly on the movement’s priorities. “They never make demands of you … They don’t need money, education or childcare … They allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn.” So true! #WomensRights

If they were serious about this, the UK would block all sites that platform the likes of Andrew "Pee Pee" Tate and other dangerous abuse enablers

Yes, hunt down the little wannabe rapists but stop the problem at the source too

Unfortunately, starmer idolises big tech and is too weak to challenge them

There are mechanisms to block sites over copyright etc so why not use them

#Trump administration refers #Maine to #DOJ over #TransgenderAthletes

by Brooke Migdon - 04/11/25

"The Department of Education on Friday referred a #TitleIX investigation into Maine schools to the #JusticeDepartment after the state failed to reach a resolution with the Trump administration over a finding that it violated federal anti-discrimination law by allowing transgender students to participate in girls’ sports.

" 'The Department has given Maine every opportunity to come into compliance with Title IX, but the state’s leaders have stubbornly refused to do so, choosing instead to prioritize an extremist ideological agenda [sic] over their students’ safety, privacy, and dignity,' said Craig Trainor, acting assistant Education secretary for [WHAT A JOKE] civil rights.

"The Education Department in its announcement said it will also initiate administrative proceedings to determine whether to terminate federal #K12 education funding for Maine’s state education department, including formula and discretionary grants.

"'The Maine Department of Education will now have to defend its discriminatory practices before a Department administrative law judge and in a federal court against the Justice Department,' Trainor said. 'Governor [Janet] Mills would have done well to adhere to the wisdom embedded in the old idiom — be careful what you wish for. Now she will see the Trump Administration in court.'

"Both the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which recently began investigating schools and states that allow transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports, said in March that Maine had violated Title IX, the federal civil rights law against sex discrimination that the Trump White House says prohibits trans athletes from competing on girls’ and women’s teams."

Congress wants to take away #womensrights and women’s #suffrage and the most I’ve seen people say is “I’m so tired”

How far do they have to go before people realize electoralism is not the answer? That there is no way to reform ourselves out of this?

If #America is so fragile that any principles it pretended to stand behind can be reversed in 3 months, how can someone possibly believe that “voting in the right person” could lead to long-lasting change and security for vulnerable populations?

This week has been a damning indictment of the American system, as if it needed another one.

It’s time for #revolution.
