Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Money spent on Rowling's work is money donated to transphobia. I don't want to single out individual actors but I consider the HBO Harry Potter series a moral disaster. You literally cannot separate the art from the artist on an economic level.

Imagine just half the energy campaigning against trans rights had been put into
- Fighting the underfunding of women’s refuges
- Fighting for single mums
- Fighting for low-paid women
Compared to fighting trans rights, which would have had most impact on women’s lives?

Solidarity with trans women after today’s Supreme Court ruling.
The rollback of LGBT rights — especially trans rights — is global, bankrolled by billionaires and the far-right.
Trans rights are human rights. We must defend the Equality Act and its protections for trans people.
