One year ago, Mahmoud Khalil was taken by ICE. He is now out.
Around the same time, Leqaa Kordia was taken and is still in ICE detention.
Her apparent crime is using America's First Amendment rights to protest for peace.
She is the last Columbia student still in detention, and Khalil wrote to her

Like fundamentally Hasbro is making a business decision that Harry Potter fans will love the IP and not be bothered by the anti-trans stuff.
I get it. I don't love it but I get it.
American businesses in 2026 are often immoral.
But to make them stop you have to stop consuming her shit.

I can't speak for anyone else, but knowing she was a transphobe made me not want to support her continued work. But learning the degree to which she was funding anti-trans lobbying made me not want to engaged with her past works too.

There's also the fact that Rowling has been fairly explicit that the money she earns through Harry Potter she's putting into anti-trans lobbying efforts.
There's a difference, IMHO, between an artist with a shitty private life, and an artist using their money to fund regressive social change.

was that person's post ableist or were they just not talking to you? do you need to explain your dietary habits and restrictions in the comments of a recipe post or were they just not talking to you? does anyone need to know why you can't read dark romance or are you just not the target audience?

I have little patience for learned helplessness and absolution-seeking. Our founding document opens with "We The People."
Either we, the collective citizenry, have power or we don't. This ain't Schrodinger's democracy.
We have power. It's incumbent upon us all to seize it.
Many hands=light work!

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how heβs responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?
