Both Reps Nancy Mace and Ronny Jackson made such calls. Musk, Loomer, and Walsh echoed them.

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour.

![I'm not a pansy
I am no shrinking violet
I will not pander
To the whims of your disdain
All of your anger
And all your self-loathing rage
Cannot withstand the multitudes
That I contain
Come at me with your anger
Come at me with your slander
'Cause I'm a little firecracker
And I'll be standing
When your rage crumbles to dust

I am in an uber and am hearing one of the songs from this commercial in its entirety irl for the first time…
It’s that one that goes “ay o ay o ay o ay… return to innocence…”
This feels momentous

conflict avoidance is one of the biggest cultural norms preventing the left from building power.
there are too many in our movement who think direct confrontation and disagreement and debate is beyond the pale but shit talking you behind your back is just fine.

Just to let everyone know, it’s really not ok to “separate the art from the artist” in this case and you should feel embarrassed and ashamed if you are still supporting any of that Harry Potter trash.
Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights
