Pedro Pascal Blasts J.K. Rowling as a 'Heinous Loser' for Her Anti-Trans Views, Backs Harry Potter Boycott

he’s right and he’s right to say it

If you've never been part of a government procurement process, it might be hard to understand just how much of a "go to prison" thing this would have been at any point from 1946-2024.

a new realization I’ve had about the incredible people who organized resistance against the nazis is how many of them probably hated each other

For the record, if the Tr*mp administration disappears my loved one to a concentration camp, do not believe their narrative that I’m “better off.” Just putting that in writing before they lie more with their affectless, cold, dead, doll eyes.

One of the disturbing reactions to the Mahmoud Khalil arrest is people making things up that he did to justify it that even the Trump admin doesn't claim he did. People just see him as the *type* of person who did the things they're mad about, so punishing him for it is acceptable. Lynching logic.
