In March 2021, the Govt's 'Commission on Race & Ethnic Disparities' claimed that there was "no evidence" of institutional racism in the UK.
In light of the #Casey report, which confirms its continued presence in the MET police, this was an absurd & misleading claim.

This thread is about how the UK Govt systematically misleads voters. The Race Commission is just one example of how the @Conservatives, supported by the billionaire-owned press, deliberately & irresponsibly deploy a political strategy of misleading voters in order to divide us.
Stephen Lawrence was murdered on 22 April 1993. The 1999 inquiry by William Macpherson found the MET Police to be institutionally racist.

2/ #Roe, let's remember, divided pregnancy into trimesters. #Abortion was more or less unrestricted in the 1st 12wks, practically prohibited in the last 12wks. Interests of mother & child were balanced this way.
This amts to a legal recognition of personhood.

3/ The only sensible reading of the #Roe scheme is as a balancing of the interests of 2 persons that are in conflict.
This is a glass-half-full reading. But the casual way we talk abt Roe as a total loss is not constitutionally realistic or accurate.

Il y a 30 ans, le Sénat avait confirmé de justesse Clarence Thomas, juge conservateur radical à la #CourSuprême malgré les accusations d'harcèlement sexuel d'Anita Hill. Depuis son influence n'a cessé de croître, surtout après le mandat de son ami #Trump washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
2. Et cette semaine, quand la #CourSuprême tiendra audience sur la loi anti-#avortement du #Mississippi dans le cas Dobbs v Jackson Health, Thomas aura l'opportunité de parvenir au projet d'1 vie judiciaire: le renversement de la jurisprudence Roe/Casey. washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
3. Clarence Thomas, en 1992, lors de son 1er terme à la #CourSuprême, avait considéré dans l'opinion minoritaire de Casey que l'arrêt Roe v Wade avait été "mal décidé". Il l'a de nouveau écrit l'an dernier dans son opinion dissidente de l'arrêt June Medical Services v Russo...
On July 1, Senators Kirsten #Gillibrand, Senator Chuck #Grassley & Senator Ted #Cruz announced they will offer the bipartisan #Military Justice Improvement Act as an amendment to this year’s National #Defense Authorization Act. gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/rel… #NDAA #MJIA #PassMJIA
From Senator Gillibrand's press release: "The Military #Justice Improvement Act would professionalize how the #military prosecutes serious crimes by moving the decision over whether to prosecute them to independent, trained, professional military prosecutors." #MJIA #PassMJIA
"Despite years of Congressional reforms, thousands of service members are raped & sexually assaulted every year. In many of those cases, the assailant is someone in the survivor’s own chain of command." -- #military #MST #MilitarySexualTrauma #MJIA #PassMJIA
