note that this isn't just a response to a general question on Rowling- it's in response to being asked about Rowling's anti-trans positions.
Rather than denounce the position, or deny it, instead Stonewall chooses to say that it's not important enough to care about.
As someone actually concerned about antisemitism as a virulent hatred in society I can not express how deeply irresponsible and damaging it is for a Jewish American in one of the highest seats of political power to just openly confess to the antisemitic narrative of "Dual Loyalty" like this.

I think we need to take stock of something. I'm sure in the past you could say corporations were running for election if only by proxy, but now it feels like we're on the way to seeing corporations actually electioneer, run political campaigns for and by themselves, directly vie for political power.
Ah, I see the devs have reverted the latest Vibe Coding Incident...

Isolate, Inebriate, Intimidate, Repeat: High Rates of Sexual Force Against Women Are Reported When Young Men Given Anonymous Surveys Lucia F. O’Sullivan and Scott T. Ronis Abstract Few studies survey men who have remained undetected after engaging in acts of sexual aggression against women. Most survey women who were targets of sexual aggression or else survey men who consent to being identified. Using anonymous surveys of 2,689 U.S. and Canadian men (18–34 years), we aimed to assess rates of self-reported sexual aggression, reports of strategy effectiveness at forcing known reluctant women into sex, and men’s views of the circumstances, motivations, and positive and negative outcomes. Men reported occasions where they tried to get a woman to engage in sex who they knew she did not want and to which she had not consented. The women were individuals with whom the men shared no prior romantic or sexual history. Overall, 95.1% reported having recently used at least one of the strategies to get a woman to have sex who they knew did not want sex and had not consented. Most of these occasions (65%) resulted in successfully forcing the woman into sex. All of the 36 strategies generated from formative work were reported by at least some men; the average number ever used was 8.94. Consistent physical pressure and verbal coercion were common; overt force, including physical restraint and use of pain, was less common but not uncommon. Men who viewed themselves as better than same-aged male peers “at getting what they want sexually from women” used more forceful strategies. The men persisted for many reasons, most often because they were horny (38%) or because the opportunity arose (28%). They reported many positive outcomes from these interactions; most (70%) perceived no negative outcomes. Using anonymous survey methods provides a novel channel to capture men’s reports of the factors scaffolding their use of sexual aggression.
Them: "Sophia, you're too hard and cynical about men"
Men, in their own words: "Yeah, >95% of us will try to rape women."
"It's not the AI, it's the fact that all the data centres we built are actually useless" does not seem like the exculpatory factor they think it is.
What do you mean by 'old'...?
some people will really be like 'anarchism is bourgeoisie because it wants to abolish the bourgeoisie' and think they're cooking, huh?

can I say something
Once again actively sabotaged by the vile trolls accurately talking about what my product does.
Starting to get annoyed with the asinine "what, will they arrest people for owning Game of Thrones?" stuff about the UK's recent censorship law stuff.
Can we please focus on the fact that the primary target here is sex workers? Targeting them for how they make a living, and what clients pay for.
Every liberal saying "did wokeness cause fascism?" is just regurgitating "Weimar problems require Weimar solutions" in a palatable way.
The one part of this I will push back on is that no this is the free market this is how market economies operate and if you don't want people's lives to depend on insider trading betting on oil prices you need to not have a market economy
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I told people that just this thing would happen if you cut the welfare states to pieces and this site's moderation did not like that much
They didn't target Biden. They targeted university policy in support of Israel. This is where you're failing to understand the point of a protest.
it's not to merely be displeased. it's to effect change.
What change do you expect college students to effect in Trump, exactly?

"No."
A principled Feminism is incompatible with religious worship of and devotion to a Patriarch as part of it's theological ontology.
"why do so many straight women and straight men do obviously homoerotic things with each other while simultaneously alienating, demonizing, and being violent towards people who are or are suspected to be queer or trans" what if i told you heterosexuality is a regime
The feminine flows of technocapital groomed me hyperstitionally, reaching backwards through time to dysgenically corrupt. The demonic circuit manifesting the feminine demon to possess He who wore Our shell before, dying to bring us into actualization introducing liminality.
My political motivations are rooted in horniness, not ethics, just for the record.
Will this finally get Americans to actually do anything I wonder
honestly, as a queer leftist, yeah. this 100%. i support anti-imperialist struggle and the right of self-determination of the people affected by imperialism
but treating anti-imperialist politics like it's a team sport, undermines anti-imperialist struggle
Don't let it be lost on you that invariably when these puritanical tests of kink occur it is always the signifiers and relationships most prominently associated with trans lesbians. Wanting to wear a leash made a marker of a predator, but the wearing of a breeder band; the signifier of institutional
They won't mention that Democrats and Democrat-aligned boards passed laws and rules to criminalize these kinds of protests.
People who call themselves atheists should probably think twice before talking about siding with the Catholic Church, especially because what you're talking about is literally just Christian paedophile infighting.
Kraut @The_Davos_Man The only people praising the Jacobins today are communists, not Liberals. Which is telling. In any historical revolution, you people always identify with the monsters. And in today's uprisings from Iran or Syria, you identify with the oppressor, from Assad to the IRGC.
If you're at the point where you become so anti-Communist you consider adulation of the Jacobins "praising the bad guys", you're not a Liberal; you're just a reactionary Fascist having an intra-Fascist squabble because the other Fascists are Christian Nationalists and you're a Civic Nationalist.
