Amazed this didn’t exist before

Virginia’s Governor has just signed a bill to abolish the death penalty, making it the 23rd US state to do so. In the modern era it’s the second highest executor after Texas, so this is a great day for everyone who wants to see the death penalty consigned to history.

Disgusted and saddened by the onslaught of predatory behaviour that ‘Everyone’s Invited’ is revealing to the world. It’s particularly alarming reading how many survivors tried to raise these experiences with friends, authorities and institutions, and were never taken seriously.

It’s interesting that the high risk of blood clots from taking the contraceptive pill isn’t considered newsworthy...

I felt personally attacked by what happened to Sarah Everard. If every womxn feels personally attacked it’s clearly not a ‘me’ problem, but a problem with our society.

6 women and 1 child killed at the hands of abusers since Sarah Everard went missing. It’s not just outdoors that violence against women continues.

Delighted that cross-party Peers defeated Govt tonight & voted for mandatory domestic abuse training for Family Court Judges. We can't currently tell victims that Family Courts will identify their abuse & safeguard them. Training is fundamental to achieving this. #DABill

Boys on the whole don’t seem to understand why I might want them to meet me at the station; walk me home; why I feel anxious taking a cab by myself, but Sarah Everard’s disappearance shows the world it is still not safe for women to walk alone at night, even in the 21st century.

We should be able to fucking walk home without going missing.

The death penalty is fundamentally a poor person’s issue. Over nearly 40 years of visiting death row facilities across the United States, I have never met a single person with money or resources. Capital punishment means “those without the capital get the punishment.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent tonight in U.S. v. Dustin Higgs will be remembered long into the future as one of the most thorough, resounding indictments of this administration’s reckless, immoral, illegal effort to execute as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

Was hoping to wake up to different news this morning - appalled by the system that zealously pushed to executed #LisaMontgomery in the middle of the night

I think the PM really did just say that schools are safe but people mixing inside schools isn’t safe - what’s that supposed to mean? That the buildings are safe as long as no-one’s in them? #ClearAsMud

It's an absolute disgrace that we have only 5 hours tomorrow to debate legislation that has only just been published, giving power to a treaty that is over 1500 pages long and only published 3 days ago. Complete affront to democracy and the very opposite of #TakingBackControl
