HT to @brap.bsky.social. I was wrong to imagine that Amnesty's blacklist was produced by a group of activists without approval. They've been providing a course on how to deal with "the anti-gender movement", though it's currently unavailable. I wonder why? It provides ammunition, not qualification.

Or possibly due to his posts supporting Bash Back, who are apparently being investigated by the police.

Amnesty has become part of the patriarchal establishment. Briefing against the legal rights of women, lesbians, gay people and children. Smearing feminists on the political left. How the mighty have fallen.

And as we've been saying, if the liberal/left deny the reality & immutability of sex and that sometimes sex matters in achieving substantive equality for the female 51% of humans, then they gift a wide open goal to the political right: bsky.app/profile/wome...

BlueSky seems to be in deranged meltdown down over my posts. Operation 'let them speak' working wonders.

Any act of women prioritising other women or themselves at the expense of men - or simply prioritising other women or themselves without assuming that this will indirectly benefit anyone else - will be perceived not as a neutral act, but a deliberate choice to disrupt and exclude.

"I know the FWS women less well, but I know them a damned sight better than the buffoons at Amnesty who fail to recognise in Marion Calder, Trina Budge and Susan Smith three women whose track record on defending human rights is impeccable. "

"I know Hunter Blackburn & her colleagues at MBM less well but far from being, as Amnesty wishes us to believe, opponents of human rights, they are dedicated to preserving the safeties women fought for years to win. This, they do with good humour & intellectual rigour unseen among Scotland’s MSPs."

"Rowling’s long history of charitable giving is well known. The minute she began making money as an author, she started handing it out. This desire to use what she recognises as her remarkable good fortune to help others is authentically who Rowling is. "

'Strategies used to target our paper, including misrepresentation of the law, attempted censorship, a workplace investigation, and the dismissal of sex-based protections as fundamentally wrong ... '. Excellent piece. murrayblackburnmackenzie.org/2026/07/09/p...

Has @amnesty.org completely lost the plot? It lists Beira's Place as an "anti-rights" organisation. Beira’s Place in Edinburgh provides trauma support to women and girls who have survived sexual violence and abuse. It happens to have been founded and is funded by JK Rowling. beirasplace.org.uk

Hello @amnestyuk.bsky.social, I’d love to know the answer to this too. Why do you think a women‘s service is an anti-rights organisation? And why are you campaigning against UK people’s Equality Act rights? Why are you encouraging action against other UK charities?

I'd also like an answer @amnestyuk.bsky.social as I'm a member of several left of centre organisations campaigning for the retention of women's legal rights as based on the protected characteristic of sex, that you list as 'anti-rights'. Do you want to remove all sex discrimination legislation?

@amnesty.org Care to explain why you have declared a rape crisis centre a hate group?

1. The Supreme Court upheld women's legal rights to single sex services provisions & sports when sex matters. 2. It's the law. 3. It always has been the law. 4. Parliamentarians do not have a say on whether or not to uphold the law. Yours, @labouruk.bsky.social member.

Russia's latest batch of fake news posts targets parties in Germany from the far-left to centre-right, but stopping short of the far right, for obvious reasons. Note the very similar numbers of replies, views, and reposts, signs of bot networks boosting the post, but little to none real engagement.

We know from experience that almost the entire political and media class is willing to give the Conversion Practices Bill a critical thinking free pass. Sonia Sodha is one of the few exceptions.

It really is amazing how Trump soils everything he touches, like some scrofulous medieval monarch spreading the King's Evil. He turned a pretty likeable US team into global pariahs. By contrast, Balogun handled himself pretty well (and made a point of shaking the referee's hand after his red card)
