Someone needs to find a way to stand up to that woman in a meaningful way.

Also shame on amnesty for capitulation.

Back when she was something, Rowling's attention to human rights inspired me to do better, and even to try and start a career working with human rights NGOs.

It's insane to me how she's come right around and is now attacking what she once stood for, and using the might of her wealth to do it (something she also used to despise).

What a fucking waste.

Never wanted to look into it, now I had to scroll her Twitter to see that response of her is genuine, now I am mentally unstable.

Disclaimer: it might be the Twitter experience all in all, I usually do not set foot in that realm.

Thanks JK Rowling.

OF COURSE all the press support she gets is from the Telegraph, aka the Daily Telegraph, paper owned by Axel Springer Konzern, which gives its best award to Peter fucking Thiel.

I wonder what has to go through a persons head when they threaten to fight amnesty international?

I mean I don't believe AI is impartial when it comes to geopolitics and providing cover for war and invasions and conflicts, but they are still mostly on mission.

Wow, the PDF was scrubbed thoroughly from the net. archive.is doesn't have it (just a screenshot of the first page), archive.org has removed it, ...

Has anyone managed to find the original PDF elsewhere?

the document was named

"Report_-_A_growing_threat__the_anti-rights_movement_in_the_UK_July_2026.pdf"

Fuck Rowling. You matter 🏳️‍⚧️

What i dont get is how can she be as rich as she is, with as much inherent admiration, adoration and respect that comes with how she got that rich, and this is how she chooses to spend life?

Fucks sake you could live in Disneyland microdosing LSD while everyone who sees you is absolutely thrilled just to be near you.

With such options she selected hatred.

Why bother?

Amnesty international has been shit for a while, they have some Ws but they always help manufacture consent for war and then say "oopsie, didn't know it wasn't true that comically evil fabrication wasn't true"

What a bunch of cowards.

They talk about human rights and post evidently empty shit like “We exist so that a world where everyone can live freely, fairly and with dignity is possible”, but fold like a wet napkin when Rowling threatens legal action.

Good to know that we can’t rely on AMNESTY to protect basic human rights anymore.

Fucking hell, we are absolutely fucked, aren’t we?

A tangible example of where the money people spend on harry potter goes.

She's using all of that Harry Potter money to create a brave new world. She's not so different from the rest of the stinking, filthy rich. She was once poor and she should be championing the poor, not stepping on fellow humans.

Holy shit. That’s dark.

shes essentially like a right wing christian group/think tank providing legal expertise for free for anyone wanting to challenge pro-lgbtq+, or anything evangelicals dont like legislation in the states. SEE KIM DAVIS, shes being bankrolled by so many groups.

@Quokka Holy fuck I hadn't heard this.

I can't believe Amnesty folded. A new stage of the apocalypse unlocked.

I had no idea this had happened. And reading about it now I'm mostly just feeling disgust and disappointment.

Rowling herself has always disgusted me since showing her true colours. Fuck, I actually bought her books, back in the days when the Harry potter series was still unfinished. I feel strangely ashamed of spending that money, even though we didn't then know the nastiness she was hiding. Feels kinda like I gave cash to a homeless person who used it to buy a knife that stabbed someone. My money supported her hate, it's an ugly feeling.

Disappointment with amnesty. Why couldn't they stand firm? She's a fuckin bigot and should absolutely be called out for it. In fact, she's not just a casual bigot, like one of those people you work with who sometimes comes out with an uncomfortable comment, but when you challenge them they're maybe kind of willing to say they don't really mean it, whatever. Rowling is a committed, evangelical bigot. She has a platform and a shit load of money and she uses it to spread hate.

If humanity manages to become properly civilised one day, her name will be remembered as one of the people who held us back.

She's exactly the type of person Amnesty should stand firm against. And instead they bend over. Probably on the advice of their lawyers, whatever, it's not good enough. If they ended up in court over this, how many of us would have donated towards their legal costs? Me, for one, and hopefully a whole lot of us.

I'm not gay, I'm not trans, so I've never had to deal with that discrimination, the aggression, the angry incomprehension. Never had to feel alone and hated by the world. Fuck sake, these people have enough shit to deal with already - to want to add to that, to encourage the mob to do the same, that's a special level of nasty. I don't want to use the word lightly, but I think it's not unusual to say evil.

And Amnesty, who should be standing firm for people who need someone to lean on, they buckle. They back away and they fuckin apologise.

So yeah, disgust and disappointment.

Sorry, that turned into a rant.

TL;DR : disgust and disappointment!

Let them know (politely) how cowardly they are, why you won't support them, and why you'll tell everyone you know not to support them: https://www.amnesty.org/en/about-us/contact/

Fuck amnesty international

It used to be illegal to do that sort of thing

Harry Potter isn’t good enough to continue supporting this person
