Chaya Raichik, why are you so 'stank?'

Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik 

Just in case anyone is fooled that Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik's sole concern is about 'protecting kids from 'sexualization' or whatever, her following tweets on Thursday should dispel all of that.




I guess Raichik's goal is to feed the wolves on Twitter who thrive on this sort of thing. But you know what? Our country right now has actual problems. In 2016, we elected Donald Trump, a dumbass wearing a suit and he wreaked so much havoc (including bungling a response to the COVID pandemic - an act which cost hundreds of thousands of lives) that we are still recovering. Meanwhile, we have a political party (Republicans) whose idea of legislating is stabbing each other in the back when they aren't jockeying for interview time in the right-wing ecosystem or being cute on Twitter. Their nonsense in the House of Representatives has brought this country to an ugly standstill. And some of them are seriously talking about making Trump the next Speaker of the House.

So I really don't care if what Cherry wears or what he wore at his wedding as long as he can do the job. And apparently, he can. He's been in the Biden Administration for several years now: 

Before joining the campaign, Tyler was Director of Public Affairs at the political consulting firm SKDK, where he crafted and executed strategic communications plans for dozens of political, advocacy, corporate, and legal clients. He also previously worked at Media Matters for America as a campaigns associate and researcher. Tyler is a Los Angeles native and graduated from UCLA with a political science degree. He lives in Washington, D.C. with his partner and two exuberant cats.

But let's get back to Raichik. Who is she to criticize anyone? Where is her mate? Where is her wedding? In light of all of her vile escapades, there is word which perfectly suits her.

Stank.

Don't get me wrong.  I am not talking about a body odor. I've never been anywhere near her (thank you Jesus), to tell tales about her hygiene. What I am talking about is a corruption of the soul. Raichik has willfully spread lies claiming that LGBTQ people and our supporters are 'sexually grooming' children. This woman has made schools and hospitals the victims of bomb threats. She has caused educators to be fired. People have been inundated with threats and hate mail by her zombie followers. Meanwhile, she laughs at all of the chaos like a hyena in The Lion King, which by the way is a terrible thing for me to say.

I shouldn't insult those hyenas.

Basically, this is what Chaya Raichik is.  She is so hateful that she exudes an evil stench way beyond that of physical senses. Behind all of the false concerns about children and the claims of protecting children is a sad person with a heart so putrid that it gives off odorous vibes. She's not a happy person. No true human being can get so much pleasure from causing so much misery. No one with a soul would generate so much pain and hate in people and then feed off it like giant spider in a J.R.R. Tolken novel. This is not a serious person. Her entire persona is an immature child spreading lies and serving clapbacks for bigoted nobodies who can't deal so instead they poke fun.

All of us have known people like Raichik, mostly in elementary and high schools. They are the bullies whose sole goal is to spot someone they can turn everyone against.   As long as they direct negative attention to other people, others won't notice how truly pathetically lacking they are as human beings. That way they gain popularity because they are incapable of having general likability. And that's what Raichik also is - a juvenile bully from the echoes of grade school who puts on a persona because her real personality lacks basic human decency. She's scared that no one would like her for who she truly is and she's probably right about that.

There are only two roads for Raichik's future. Either she will see the light and try to make up for all of the trouble she caused. Or get so caught up in her ego that she will do something which will cause her entire world to self-destruct. 

Whatever the case may be, I don't care what happens to Chaya Raichik. 

I don't associate with stank people.

Eleven schools received bomb threats and harassment after smeared as 'child groomers' by Libs of TikTok

Chaya Raichik, founder of Libs of TikTok doesn't care that schools and hospitals are being targeted with bomb threats after she falsely portrayed them as pedophiles and groomers.

First children's hospitals, now schools. 

The smearing of LGBTQ people and our allies as "child groomers" has been very successful for Libs of Tik Tok and its founder Chaya Raichik. And it's putting hospitals and schools in danger. 

According to an article at VICE, 11 school districts and schools have been the victims of bomb threats and harassment after they were targeted by Libs of Tik Tok, including:

Western Heights ISD in Oklahoma City was targeted in three Libs of TikTok posts between September 9 and 14. During that time frame, Oklahoma’s state superintendent of education posted a photo with Raichik, and praised her as doing “more for transparency and accountability in schools than most elected officeholders.” An elementary school in Western Heights ISD received a bomb threat on September 15. 

 Witchcraft Heights Elementary School in Salem, Massachusetts, was targeted in a Libs of TikTok post on September 12. The school received emailed bomb threats on September 15, 19, and 21, prompting evacuations. Salem Police Captain John Burke told local news that all three emails “followed a similar MO” and his agency was working with state and federal agencies to investigate the threats. 

 Anoka-Hennepin School District in Minnesota was targeted in Libs of TikTok posts on September 13 and 14. They received a bomb threat by email on September 15. The district’s director of communications Jim Skelly told VICE News that it was unusual for the district to receive threats directly by email such as this one.” This was the second direct threat that the district, which is Minnesota’s largest, received in the last two years. More commonplace threats usually come from students or are made via social media, and are quickly processed as “non-credible” by law enforcement, said Skelly. 

 Red Oak School, an elementary school in a suburb of Chicago, was featured in a Libs of TikTok post on September 15. The elementary school received three threats over the course of four days. Children were evacuated from the school following the first two threats. A spokesperson for the North Shore School District, which encompasses Red Oak, told VICE News that the last time the school district received a bomb threat was 25 years ago. 

Davis Joint ISD in California was targeted in two separate Libs of TikTok posts on September 19 and 22, and received bomb threats on September 20 and September 25. On both occasions, the threats indicated that bombs had been placed at the homes of school district officials and in certain schools in the district. The threats caused both schools to delay start times so police could search for possible explosive devices. 

 Also:

Some of those who were targeted by Libs of TikTok in September who didn’t receive bomb threats instead reported vicious harassment, doxxing, and intimidation. Erika, a school bus driver in the Pittsburgh area, told VICE News that her life was turned upside down when a screenshot from her private Facebook account made its way to Libs of TikTok. The post showed a sheet of stickers she’d ordered, which included Pride flags and innocuous slogans like “all humans are beautiful,” “this is a safe space,” and “love always wins” in rainbow font. “I got new stickers!” Erika wrote in the Facebook post, adding a smiley face emoji. “Gonna get some magnet sheets so I can turn ‘em into magnets and put them in my bus!”

 . . . Within 24 hours of that post going up, Erika was swarmed by online harassment. A friend informed her she was on an account called Libs of TikTok, which she’d never heard of. When she found the posting, Erika said she was shocked to see it had almost 800 comments underneath it, calling her a groomer, saying she should be fired, and that she was a perfect example for why children should be homeschooled.

Video - Anti-drag queen hysteria comes to SC's Myrtle Beach

 

I guess this video is way of saying that the anti-drag queen hysteria sweeping other parts of the country will be coming to South Carolina. It's exasperating to contemplate but there are a lot of things to consider which keep me from being fearful.

For one thing as annoying as the very small number of protestors in the video were, I found their candor refreshing. They basically were saying that they felt drag in itself was lewd and laws should supposedly protect kids from seeing it. When folks have pushed for bans against drag performances in the past, it's after they've riled folks up with anecdotal (and mostly taken out of context or outright lying) social media videos and stories which falsely depict drag queens as 'groomers.'

For another, whatever may happen will be coming on the heels of several victories in which courts have ruled that banning drag under the pretext of "protecting kids from seeing lewd acts" is not legal. 
There are already laws on the books which speak about public obscenity and lewdness. Automatically designating drag as obscene ergo "not for kids" based solely upon one's personal opinion simply does not meet the metric. 

For every anecdotal video and stories put out on social media designed rile up the base, there are many more videos and stories about clean drag shows and drag queens wearing more clothing than nuns while doing perfectly innocent things like reading to children or performing the same routines one would see cheerleaders do at sporting events.

Bottom line - if you don't want your kids to see drag queens or drag shows, don't take them to see any. You have that right as a parent or a so-called defender of children. But you don't have the right to deem via legislation based upon your own opinion (even with the help of trumped-up evidence) that drag in itself is lewd and obscene.  Especially because that belief is simply is not true. You don't get to create artificial standards of civility and decorum which you then attempt to force others to live by.  

And creating laws for this goal isn't protecting children. It's basic tyranny. 

Editor's note - I must commend the folks in the video who defended Pride in the Park. In the face of the hysteria, they spoke their minds with a simplicity and sincerity which cut through the nonsense. And they are right. In the end, it's all about love and community.

Anti-LGBTQ group the Alliance Defending Freedom 'manufactured' lawsuits it took to the Supreme Court

Editor's note - I was going to post this on Friday, but the death of Senator Dianne Feinstein made me decide to wait until Sunday. All attention should be paid to this because in my opinion, it is one of the most substantial LGBTQ stories of the year. It also underscores the depths the anti-LGBTQ industry are willing to go to undermine our rights, safety, and health.

Anti-LGBTQ hate group the Alliance Defending Freedom has had much winning lawsuits in front the Supreme Court; lawsuits supposedly defending the rights of Christians against the LGBTQ community. However, according to a big expose by The Washington Post, the circumstances of these lawsuits were manufactured by the Alliance Defending Freedom. The goal seems to be bringing these lawsuits to court in the hopes of striking down laws and ordinances protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination.

Before this summer’s landmark Supreme Court ruling that a Christian web designer in Colorado had the right to refuse to work on same-sex weddings, the legal advocacy group behind the case had spent nearly a decade laying the groundwork through similar lawsuits filed around the country. 

 Among the wedding vendors represented by the Christian nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom were a photographer from Kentucky, videographers from Minnesota and a pair of Arizona artists who created stationery. Each challenged local laws barring businesses from discriminating based on sexuality, which the plaintiffs said violated their First Amendment rights.

 In its petition asking the high court to hear the Colorado case, ADF cited favorable decisions it had won in those three cases. Winning meant its clients were free to express their beliefs about marriage through their work “without fear of government punishment,” ADF said in a statement after one ruling. 

 But an examination by The Washington Post of court filings, company records and other materials found that two of the three vendors cited in ADF’s September 2021 petition had stopped working on weddings, and the other did not photograph any weddings for two years. Three additional vendors represented by ADF in similar lawsuits elsewhere also abandoned or sharply cut back their work on weddings after they sued local authorities for the right to reject same-sex couples, The Post found. 

 Such developments led an opposing lawyer and a judge in two of the cases to separately question whether ADF’s plaintiffs truly intended to exercise the rights they sued for — or if their claims were instead manufactured to be test cases in a national litigation campaign.

 ADF also had a hand in formally establishing companies for some of its clients, The Post found. Lawyers associated with the legal group signed incorporation paperwork and helped to draft company policies that were later used as a basis for the wedding lawsuits. ADF promoted some of its lawsuits with videos and images of plaintiffs photographing women in bridal gowns at what The Post found were staged events featuring ADF employees.

You can read the entire article at the links I supplied which I am able to supply as a free gift (and not behind a paywall), thanks to a very good friend of mine. 

I don't know the legalities of all of this, so I really don't know if any laws were broken. But I do know that what the Alliance Defending Freedom is doing is unethical as hell. It's not right to fake a situation of discrimination and then build a case upon it, particularly when the end result means that a group of Americans could lose a legal protection.  Every victory the Alliance Defending Freedom has won with these lawsuits places a large, ugly stain on the American court system, particularly the Supreme Court. 

One wonders if certain justices (such as Alito and Thomas who are already facing issues with regarding their ethics) were in on these schemes. It's a question which needs to be asked. One of MANY questions for that matter.
