@deapthoughts @zbbrox @alon_levy These analogies get confused so I just want to issue a factual point here. JK Rowling did not organize the letter, did not ask me to sign the letter, and in fact I had no idea that she was signing the letter. And I wish people would stop lying about me. — PolitiTweet.org
