"Justice" Amy Coney Barrett gets another home demo

Submitted by Luke on Fri, 07/14/2023 - 00:41

On the 13th of July, so-called "Justice" Amy Coney Barrett received yet another protest at her N Va home. She is also known as "the Handmaid" for her holding that exact title in the far-right Christian cult "People of Praise." The home demos continue, and far-fight whining cannot stop them. Only a guarantee of abortion and gender rights can do that.

"Justice" Alito gets a July 4 residential protest

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 07/05/2023 - 01:03

With all the fireworks of hate coming from the Supreme Court, some protesters decided to show up at "Justice" Alito's house. This was a well-picked target, as in the leaked draft of the Dobbs decision Alito cited 17th century jurist Matthew Hale. Hale is famous for having two women executed for witchcraft as well as originating the doctrine that rape was legal within marriage. This earned Alito the "witchburner" name.

The trans march was a powerful statement from a community under siege, and the overall event was massive. It may have simply been the obstacle-strewn nature of the Bayside Drive area, but the size of the crowd and the massive traffic jams made this look like one of the big NE Prides like DC's Capitol Pride. On the other hand the much shorter march route may have concentrated the crowd.

On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court greenlit abortion bans the GOP had been chomping at the bit for since the Roe v Wade decision Dobbs overturned. Chaos in front of the Court erupted instantly. One year later, events were held coast to coast condemning this dangerous rollback of human rights.

As always, Capitol Pride in Washington DC was a festive event with hundreds of thousands showing up. Although many consider DC a safe haven, the hateful, genocidal politics spreading elsewhere in the US cast a shadow over the event.
