BREAKING: pic.twitter.com/rAJvgbHnp1 — Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) March 25, 2023 More than 3000 police officers are set to confront up 1,500 “violent activists” from among a crowd of 10,000 protesters today. Explosive demostrations have already begun at Saint Solines in central France, where climate activists are staging a "high-risk" protest against new agricultural irrigation infrastructure. The protest is distinct from the pension reform outcry that has blighted the country and seen widespread violence. Despite the global focus on the pension reform demonstrations, reports suggest that the police's greatest concern is the Saint Solines protest. Video footage from the scene shows protesters throwing petrol bombs and burning police vehicles. Flying objects pepper the battered line of vehicles as smoke billows into the air.

Veto puts Kentucky in thick of fight over transgender rights
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear's veto of a bill aimed at transgender health care puts the state in the middle of a national fight, but with more immediate consequences as the state's looming election offers an early test on the state-by-state assault on gender-affirming care for minors. The veto issued Friday set off competing messages likely to be repeated until the November election — when Bluegrass State voters will decide whether to reward the Democratic governor with a second term or hand over the governor's office to a Republican. No one seems to know yet how much weight voters will put on the transgender issue with the general election more than seven months away. The legislation in Kentucky is part of a widespread movement, with Republican state lawmakers in other states approving extensive measures that restrict the rights of LGBTQ+ people this year, from … [Read more...] about Veto puts Kentucky in thick of fight over transgender rights
