"Socially Conservative" Louise Perry wants to pretend that Gen Z isn't into Harry Potter because they're "falling out of love with liberalism," while ignoring the elephant in the room of their response to JK's toxic transphobia.

holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

REMINDER: Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019 when Jeffrey Epstein was running his child rape ring in her very state. She prosecuted many child predators but NEVER even investigated Epstein. It's clear she has been covering up Epstein's crimes for years!

I for one want to applaud the Trump administration.
We've made it into year two of his second term and they've only managed to kill SOME of us.
I was sure by now Dementia Donnie would have pressed the big red "rockets go boom" button thinking it was to order some Mickey Ds.
There's still time.

Can you imagine if one of the Olympic athletes said "I support ICE" or "Ban trans people."
MAGA would be thumping their chests, yelling about free speech and "using your platform to speak your truth."
But because the comments are pro-LGBTQ & anti-ICE, these kids get MAGA death threats instead.
