She's publicly said she takes people purchasing Harry Potter merch as support for her views.

It all comes down to Harry Potter being kids books largely and most of the world building and themes don't hold up to real scrutiny.

I wasn't casting shade on you, just repeating what Jo has said publicly, that she views Harry Potter merchandise sales as a tacit endorsement of her views. It's always worth considering the views of the creator when consuming media, informed consumer and all that. But yes I've gotten the game free myself and also pirated it.

Assuming there aren't any backdoors in whatever encryption she did use, I'm gonna assume the journalist was taking measures to protect her informants. Here's hoping the pants-shitting incompetence of the MAGAt administration prevents them from identifying the whistleblowers.

They raided the reporter to get info on the over a thousand new whistleblowers that were talking to her. Jeff is happy with this development. It's going to have a massive chilling effect on both journalists with integrity and fed whistleblowers.

Natanson said her work had led to 1,169 new sources, “all current or former federal employees who decided to trust me with their stories”

They will target and prosecute every single person that spoke to this reporter.
