I’m shocked that this sham trial is going ahead when women are faced with actual hate crimes on this platform every day & no one can get the police to do a damn thing about rape & death threats, doxxing, harassment or stalking.

Thank you so much to all of the women who have been there today and travelled from all over the UK to support Marion. This trial is performative AF and we all know it. I hope she finds there is no case to answer, but this abuse and harassment of women has to end.
The CPS is on its arse, can’t even prosecute rapists properly. We provide them with reams of threats and abusive messages and it’s all ‘we can’t prove who is behind the account’ and ‘you can’t prove they actually tweeted that though’ - but prosecuting women seems a doddle

There is a small but perfectly formed, UK-wide Women’s GC Network across the country - inspired wholly by @shirleysascot.
It follows in the footsteps of her coordination of women attending a Glasgow rally on 20 July 2021 in support of Marion Millar, facing charges under the Communications Act.

That set the ball rolling.
In just over 2 weeks, over 60 groups, encompassing not far short of one thousand women, have been established. We are talking. We are meeting. We are planning. And we are growing - daily.

As Marion Millar attends for police questioning for speaking up for women's rights, we reflect on the Scottish Hate Crime Bill consultation. We and others warned that the legislation would be used to intimidate and silence women. #IStandWithMarionMillar #WomenWontWheesht
We said: "It is reasonable to suppose that [the proposed measures] would have a further chilling effect on the freedom of women to advocate for sex-based rights in the current climate". #IStandWithMarionMillar #WomenWontWheesht

In the Scottish Parliament, LWD signatory @1_elainesmith argued for amendments "that would give clarity to the police who will have to interpret this legislation". It hasn't taken long for her to be proved right. #IStandWithMarionMillar #WomenWontWheesht
