On September 4, 14-year-old suspect Colt Gray allegedly killed two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in what has become Georgia’s deadliest school shooting. Continuing a familiar trend, fringe right-wing accounts almost immediately began claiming without evidence that the shooter was trans.  Prominent right-wing media influencers followed suit, apparently misinterpreting a CNN report about the suspect’s online activity to baselessly claim that the suspect was “another trans shooter” and “motivated by trans activism."

    Do you… Actually think that’s what the right wing wants to tear down the US to do? Because it isn’t. Not even a little. They want to plunge the world into fire

      No, it’s what I want to tear down the US to do.

      My point is that you shouldn’t deamonize all revolutionaries
