Criminalizing solidarity must have consequences.
Yesterday we testified in Milan in the defamation trial against #MaurizioBelpietro, who in 2022 labelled search and rescue NGOs “the new pirates" in the magazine, #Panaroma.
This attack did not just target NGOs, it was part of a narrative built to discredit people on the move and make deaths at sea acceptable.
We stand alongside NGOs defending a simple truth:
saving lives is a duty, not piracy and not a crime.
Discrediting those who do it is.
I know this is the #BigotBroadcastingCorporation but I don't doubt this but CNN, CBS and Politico also confirm this.
Here's the SCOTUS' official writing and here's a legal blog going over it.
Obviously #Sotomayor dissents, alongside #Jackson...
I'm neither a #US citizen nor #trans nor #nonbinary, (and yes these things ain't necessarily correlated!) but if I were I'd certainly #GTFO and find an #immigration #lawyer to check options given the #TransGenocide that is being orchestrated.
Refusing to issue documents consistent with someone's gender identity is basically an "invisible T-Stamp" because in the age of #NakedScanners* this will get people incarcerated, denied entry or deported for "identitiy fraud".

“ #Scotland voted decisively to remain in the EU in 2016. #Brexit has severely damaged Scotland and the wider UK’s economy and society. It has restricted #FreedomOfMovement, reduced opportunities for cultural exchange, harmed trade. Our position is clear: Scotland’s interests are best served by #RejoinEU as an independent member state. In the interim, we support rebuilding the deepest and most ambitious partnership possible with the EU.”

#GuyVerhofstadt speaking at #EuropeanMovement in #Scotland annual dinner:
“We are at a turning point in Europe’s story. The European Union is one of the greatest political achievements of history. It brought 80 years of peace, stability, growing prosperity and liberal democracy to the continent. All the evidence is that the people of Scotland and of the UK wish they were still in the EU."
