‘Abortion abolitionists have backed the bill while complaining it doesn’t go far enough. “The prison sentences prescribed by the bill are weaker than existing penalties in South Carolina for the murder of born people.” In other words, the death penalty.’ Imperialism abroad is fascism at home.

Mégabarrages, aéroports, gazoduc ou encore financement de projets pétrogaziers : les plus grandes firmes tricolores ont ces dernières décennies investi l’Amazonie brésilienne, aux dépens de la protection de la forêt et des peuples autochtones. Par @mickacorreia.bsky.social

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Our negotiators had never seen this before in any international talks,” Yes you have, it just targeted States from the Global Majority so you didn’t care. Now that US imperialism is coming to you you don’t like it so much.

And we are all very shocked.

#Sudan: UN Human Rights office estimates in the 100s number of summarily executions since #RSF capture of El Fasher. Weak @eudiplomacy.bsky.social statements won't end crimes. Condemning crimes, sanctioning RSF leaders & exposing #UAE role can be key to stop them. www.ohchr.org/en/press-bri...

Follow us, we are A DELIGHT.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Fascism is normal. Greed is normal. Homophobia is normal. Sexism is normal. Racism is normal. We are getting "normal" in droves right now. When they say "Make America Great Again" it's "normal" that they wanna go back to. No, what we need right now is to be exceptional. "Normal" is what got us here.

All the hateful ciswomen attacking trans folks are digging their own grave by facilitating gender-based discrimination. Guess who will come crying as they lose every single one of their rights?

@MiddleEastEye: Israel's attacks on Iran amount to crime of aggression, legal scholars say Leading international law scholars argue that Israel's assault is manifestly unlawful

Yes, it’s called ‘Textbook what the US has been doing in the Global South for decades’. None of us are surprised by the way - we’ve told you - imperialism abroad is fascism at home.

The EU’s €1B migration deal with Lebanon aims to curb migration, but at what cost? Having created a fertile ground for rights violations and abuses, the deal will likely result in a short-term solution to suppress migration in an unsustainable manner. 🔗 timep.org/2025/05/01/e...

If you missed @timep.bsky.social's event, bookmark it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwAI... In a dark news week, this inspiring group (Sana Mustafa, Myriam Sfeir, @paolasalwandaher.bsky.social, Hala Al-Karib, @michatobia.bsky.social) talked about how women are reimagining MENA & taking action. 🧵below.

On Gaza, @paolasalwandaher.bsky.social says: "There is a targeting of women, girls, and children because there is a willingness to eradicate Palestinian life. She adds: "When Israel specifically targets the main fertility clinic, when you [want] to destroy embryos. this is a declaration of intent."

Reflecting on Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, and Gaza, @paolasalwandaher.bsky.social says there's been a "failure to recognize the gendered impact of conflict." She adds that "war, conflict, and genocide exacerbate pre-existing patterns of discrimination and violence against women."
