As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

"There’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on a vulnerable minority."

Hillary Monahan

A BILLION DOLLARS of her Harry Potter money to decimating trans rights.

Carole King

As we elders, our daughters, and our granddaughters continue the fight for power, equality, and respect, we hold you in our hearts with love and gratitude. Rest in peace and power, Gloria Steinem. 🤍

Molly Jong-Fast

Rest in power glorious, glorious Gloria Steinem 

Abdul El-Sayed

Gloria Steinem's essays, organizing, and institutions like Ms. magazine reshaped American life for women. She understood that progress would provoke resistance, because, as she so eloquently put it... "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off."

The federal prosecutor who charged ICE agent Christian Castro for lying about shooting Sosa-Celia has now been FIRED. He objected to the DoJ stopping him from charging a civil rights violation. And now he’s fired.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick

Aaaaand he’s been fired (presumably for putting all of this in an email to the victim’s lawyers).

Barb McQuade

Turns out the false statement charge against ICE agent in Minnesota was not a prelude to more. AUSA was fired for pushing back on DOJ decision against civil rights charges. Lawless policing is tolerated in Trump’s DOJ, but not debate among its lawyers.

Fetterman text to aide: “Why do I have to keep having to meet with [Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia]?” Aide: “Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.” Fetterman: “Well I’m not.” @wsj.com #PAsen

The Tennessee Holler

Blowing off children’s hospitals worried about Medicaid cuts… whining about how long cops’ funerals are… the WSJ confirms Fetterman is an objectively terrible person. With receipts.

Nick Field

John Fetterman called in sick to avoid a meeting with three Pennsylvania paralyzed military veterans. Then he walked into the office less than an hour later to shoot a Fox News interview

A U.S. Postal Service official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a “secretive rushed” effort to implement Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking those plans.

jamelle

why would any agency abide an injunction knowing there is a decent chance the supreme court will lift it because the president is a special birthday boy?

Joyce White Vance

Not Surprised: “A U.S. Postal Service official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a ‘secretive, rushed’ effort to implement President Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking those plans.”

Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties. From the article: Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets: Dallas: +129,000 Collin: 56,000 Denton: 56,000 Tarrant: + 73,000

Mrs. Betty Bowers

Surest sign that the crooks in the Texas GOP know that James Talarico is surging.

Scott Horton

As expected, the suspension of voters in Texas was very carefully crafted to target Democratic voters in major Democratic centers. This is how the Texas GOP controls the state: by insuring that it has the lowest levels of voter participation in the entire developed world.

They have every intention of rigging this election and trying to steal it And these are the same people who spent a decade falsely claiming elections are rigged It's the biggest, longest con in U.S. political history, and the whole country is its victim

Senator Jeff Merkley

Trump’s crusade against mail-in voting was blocked by the courts—but according to a whistleblower, that hasn’t stopped him from trying to bend USPS to his will. HELL NO. I’ll fight to protect vote by mail.

Amanda Carpenter

"In the final week of testing, the phrase 'sh*t show' was used by multiple people to describe the process..." We have an election system that works, and Trump wants to blow it up and install one that is basically designed to fail.

Wow: the federal government is paying MAGA influencers on X and other social media to post pro-regime propaganda. Actual paid crisis actors. Incredible reporting here. wapo.st/4x0p3pf
