The raid did not proceed routinely, and resulted in resistance and demonstrations by the bar’s patrons and other individuals who gathered around the scene. The Stonewall Riots are considered to be a spark that ignited the gay rights movement. #StonewallRiots #GayRights #OnThisDay https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/114/759/263/853/443/750/original/64e7001df7b3f4fa.png npub19dth97yn2l3wmz3y5szf7a2vgr6hu2wapqn3lt3n2w92twpwlslqm6l54m iamBullivant So Kneecap have employed an absolute dream team of top Irish/human rights lawyers to represent them in the terrorist prosecution against Mo Chara.

Turing was convicted of gross indecency in 1952 and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce his libido. Turing's conviction led to the removal of his security clearance and barred him from continuing with his consultancy for GCHQ. He was denied entry into the United States after his conviction. #AlanTuring #GayRights #OnThisDay https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/114/640/724/482/856/656/original/b8de527cc52ddd98.png npub19dth97yn2l3wmz3y5szf7a2vgr6hu2wapqn3lt3n2w92twpwlslqm6l54m iamBullivant 20mph speed limits save lives.

He was was a Brazilian Catholic archbishop and a self-identified socialist. Câmara was an advocate of liberation theology. He did social and political work for the poor and for human rights and democracy during the military regime. Câmara preached for a church closer to the disfavoured people.

When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." 1/2 #Catholicism #OnThisDay https://cdn.masto.host/mastodonie/media_attachments/files/113/032/808/845/649/439/original/3df405f6de179ef0.png npub19dth97yn2l3wmz3y5szf7a2vgr6hu2wapqn3lt3n2w92twpwlslqm6l54m iamBullivant "Copilot AI calls journalist a child abuser, Microsoft tries to launder responsibility" The best/worst bit: "The Tübingen Public Prosecutor’s Office said that no actual person had made the allegations, so no criminal offense had been committed!"
