President Trump’s team never should have posted this image. If he saw it first, he never should have approved it.

It’s inappropriate and embarrassing. It’s offensive.

SAY HER NAME - DeCara Thompson

This man is asking everyone if they know (19) yr old DeCara Thompson who was mu'rdered, r'aped, and thrown over a bridge, by Hugo Hernandez- Mendez, an illegal from Guatemala

No coverage like that of Renee Good

No ($1.5M) raised for her

You people out there demonstrating, your moral compass is f'd up, why weren't you out there for Miss Thompson

I have a daughter, and God forbid something happens to her, but something does, I guarantee that person won't see justice, via the justice system, justice would come another way, i promise you that

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points.

I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should hold these days.

Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn't want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.

However, Emma and Dan in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right - nay, obligation - to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created.

When you've known people since they were ten years old it's hard to shake a certain protectiveness. Until quite recently, I hadn't managed to throw off the memory of children who needed to be gently coaxed through their dialogue in a big scary film studio. For the past few years, I've repeatedly declined invitations from journalists to comment on Emma specifically, most notably on the Witch Trials of JK Rowling. Ironically, I told the producers that I didn't want her to be hounded as the result of anything I said.

The television presenter in the attached clip highlights Emma's 'all witches' speech, and in truth, that was a turning point for me, but it had a postscript that hurt far more than the speech itself. Emma asked someone to pass on a handwritten note from her to me, which contained the single sentence 'I'm so sorry for what you're going through' (she has my phone number). This was back when the death, rape and torture threats against me were at their peak, at a time when my personal security measures had had to be tightened considerably and I was constantly worried for my family's safety. Emma had just publicly poured more petrol on the flames, yet thought a one line expression of concern from her would reassure me of her fundamental sympathy and kindness.

Like other people who've never experienced adult life uncushioned by wealth and fame, Emma has so little experience of real life she's ignorant of how ignorant she is. She'll never need a homeless shelter. She's never going to be placed on a mixed sex public hospital ward. I'd be astounded if she's been in a high street changing room since childhood. Her 'public bathroom' is single occupancy and comes with a security man standing guard outside the door. Has she had to strip off in a newly mixed-sex changing room at a council-run swimming pool? Is she ever likely to need a state-run rape crisis centre that refuses to guarantee an all-female service? To find herself sharing a prison cell with a male rapist who's identified into the women's prison?

I wasn't a multimillionaire at fourteen. I lived in poverty while writing the book that made Emma famous. I therefore understand from my own life experience what the trashing of women's rights in which Emma has so enthusiastically participated means to women and girls without her privileges.

The greatest irony here is that, had Emma not decided in her most recent interview to declare that she loves and treasures me - a change of tack I suspect she's adopted because she's noticed full-throated condemnation of me is no longer quite as fashionable as it was - I might never have been this honest.

Adults can't expect to cosy up to an activist movement that regularly calls for a friend's assassination, then assert their right to the former friend's love, as though the friend was in fact their mother. Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill Maher issues a blunt response to the MSNBC pundit who blamed Charlie Kirk’s death on himself.

MATTHEW DOWD: “You can’t be saying these awful words and then not expect awful actions to take place.”

MAHER: “Yes, you can! I do not expect awful actions to take place. I think this is awful. When you open this window, like, ‘I didn’t like what he said, and what he said was vile, and this and that.’ Irrelevant! Irrelevant. We don’t shoot people in this country, and we don’t defend it, and we don’t mock their death.”

@ClayTravis Flawless opening drive!

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

All that Charlie ever did was have conversations with people. He didn’t insult anyone. He made arguments. He debated. He wasn’t an extremist in any way. Everyone who knew Charlie personally loved him. That’s the kind of guy he was. And they still killed him. I am furious and heartbroken in equal measure. I cannot put into words how I feel. Maybe that is for the best.

The US should not engage in regime change in Iran. Our focus should only be on our national security. The Iranian regime has threatened the US with nuclear production for years. We should support Israel in eliminating the Natanz and Fordo sites to prevent the threat of an atomic bomb used against us. The Iranian people should decide who they want to be their leader. That’s their decision, not ours. Stay focused.

@KirkHerbstreit well, I mean OBVIOUSLY now you need all of your fur boys behind the Game Day desk on set for a parody commercial for the new season!

@FreightAlley It's true ... As a life-long, generational Tennessee family land owner, I can say without hesitation that everyone should look at the CHATTANOOGA area and NOT middle Tennessee...... probably.
