And this includes boycotting HBO if they don’t stop their planned series.
Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.
There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Working the front of house while most of the brewery staff is at CBC. Turned on the music then turn on the TV with no sound. I almost turned on the MST3K channel but figured that without sound, that’s just bad movies. Went for the Hitchcock channel instead.

Today, supporters of Judge Hannah Dugan raised their voices in protest at the local FBI headquarters. The arrest of Judge Dugan, at the behest of FBI Director, Kash Patel and Attorney General, Pam Bondi, is yet another attack on the judiciary by this administration. Only fascists arrest judges.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.
