„As The British State Seeks To Destroy Palestine Action, A New Trial Is Underway.
A judge has threatened defendants with a ‘terrorism connection’ if they explain the motives behind their activism. It is one of three such trials in which the government has muzzled defendants, blinded jurors and banned local media coverage to guarantee convictions.“https://popularresistance.org/palestine-action-facing-new-rigged-terrorism-trials/

“German court ruling on Israel-Nazi comparison is a step in the right direction”

@palestinenews“A German court this month decided that comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is protected legal speech, highlighting a growing conflict between constitutional protections and Berlin’s political commitment to Tel Aviv”
[..]
“The recent judgement does not establish an unrestricted right for dissenters to compare Israel with Nazi Germany, nor does it dismantle German laws against Holocaust denial or incitement. Rather, it insists that criminal law cannot become an instrument for enforcing political consensus”

«Not Your Mama's Feminism: The Policy in Practice - The Softer Side of Criminalization»
> What was once openly punitive is now framed as diversion, exit, or support. People are told they aren’t being punished - they’re being helped. But the help comes with conditions, and those conditions begin with arrest.
> The police still initiate the process. The courts still control the outcome.
> The assumption driving these systems is not subtle. It is the belief that people in the sex trade cannot be trusted to define their own needs, that safety must be coerced, and support only works when backed by punishment. Once this assumption is embedded in policy, autonomy is no longer possible.
> What disappears in these systems is not just flexibility, but real choice. Services are not offered freely. Under arrest-based “support” models, assistance is no longer something a person can opt into or out of; it becomes something they must earn through compliance.
> Genuine equality would treat sex work like every other form of labor affected by risk, stigma, and exploitation. It would mean access to services without arrest, healthcare without surveillance, job training without coercion, and the right to stay, leave, or transition on one’s own terms.
> Buyer criminalization and mandated exit programs do not offer equality. They offer control with better branding.

When *every* accusation is *clearly* a confession!
“Global Crusade: Rubio, Miller, Sa’ar, and the Internationalization of the 4th Reich”

@palestinenews“On July 16, inside the Loy Henderson Conference Room at the US State Department, Secretary of State #Rubio and White House Deputy Chief of Staff #Miller stood before representatives of more than 60 countries and declared open season on the global left. Billed as a ministerial on the ‘resurgence of political terrorism,’ the gathering was in reality the launch of a coordinated international campaign to criminalize dissent vs US imperial power & its most conspicuous contemporary project: the ongoing destruction of Gaza”

"The #European #Jewish Association (#EJA) held an emergency conference in #Brussels on Wednesday addressing legal proceedings in #Belgium against #mohels, or ritual #circumcisers, who perform #britmilah on infants. Participants warned that the move could undermine #religious freedom and #minority rights, and set a dangerous precedent for #Jewish and #Muslim communities across #Europe.
The conference, which also included Muslim representatives, presented a policy paper calling for legal clarity, recognition of qualified practitioners, and the promotion of regulation and dialogue rather than #criminalization."

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a true victim of #weaponization

> "The government isn’t targeting Abrego Garcia for punishment because they think he's some sort of master criminal. They want to punish him *because* he’s an everyday guy who somehow managed to force the regime to bring him home."

She was also charged with concealing birth, a misdemeanor, but was not convicted on that charge.
Rousseau’s case fits an emerging pattern where #women are swept up in #criminalization – even in states where #abortion is legal – by prosecutors reaching for antiquated statutes or laws that were never intended to punish #pregnant women & those experiencing #pregnancy loss or birth, including abuse of a corpse, child neglect or even homicide, acc/to several abortion #law experts….

„In addition to charges of trespass and damage to property, the group is accused of "membership of a criminal organisation" - namely Palestine Action Germany - under Section 129 of the German penal code.
This legal statute is commonly applied in cases of "terrorism" and organised crime, and can lead to a prison sentence of up to five years.“

«A History of Sex Work Criminalisation in the UK»
📼 Recording: https://vimeo.com/1053533730
🌐 Archive: https://decriminalisedfutures.org/a-history-of-sex-work-criminalisation-in-the-uk
📄 Transcription: https://decriminalisedfutures.org/media/pages/a-history-of-sex-work-criminalisation-in-the-uk/1666a99c3e-1744755010/edited-transcript-a-history-of-sex-work-criminalisation-in-the-uk.pdf
📄 Summary: https://decriminalisedfutures.org/media/pages/a-history-of-sex-work-criminalisation-in-the-uk/e891876ca2-1744822244/edited-summary_-a-history-of-sex-work-criminalisation-in-the-uk.pdf> This session examined the criminalisation of women's sexual labour in London from the mid-19th century to the 1960s. We looked at relevant histories of trafficking and migration, and at early 20th century decriminalisation campaigns. Dr Julia Laite shared her research on the effects of criminalisation on the sex industry and the experiences of women who sold sex, while emphasising how these laws intersect with gender, class, and race.

Honestly, this does not need much of an introduction. ^~
But just to highlight a few of the topics discussed…
• How did brothels turn from houses collectively-rented by prostitutes to mostly-male-landlords-owned rooms charged at ridiculous prices?
• What has been the historical result of tacking repression of comercial sex into laws intended to address trafficking or exploitation?
• What was abolitionism when applied to sex work at the time, and how does it relate (or not) to current neoabolitionism (“Nordic Model”)?
• How did police's treatment of prostitutes shift through that time?
• How did migration mix in with all of that?
… and quite a bit more. ^~
Seriously, it's a really recommended listen/read. 💖

Last book of 2025! This #memoir confronts the consequences of a middle class white woman from GOP lineage speaking truth to power. I wondered if she really thought the outcomes would be different than they were for Anita Hill? She articulates the #trauma survivors of #sexualAssault experience including victim blaming, harassment, death threats and #criminalization. It is a compelling, courageous and honest story. #GenderViolence #SupremeCourt #USpol #patriarchy #MeToo #books #bookstodon
