He apparently can’t lead the federal response to the Baltimore bridge collapse because he and his husband are happy together.

After a 95,000-ton cargo ship hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore yesterday, many on the right decided to blame out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, often attacking him for being gay, despite how he had nothing to do with the disaster.

So anti-LGBTQ+ hate influencer Chaya Raichik – who goes by LibsofTikTok online – had to join in.

    Don’t know this person and hope we don’t need to publish her name anymore. It’s exactly what she wants to happen.

      She was a huge anonymous figure in attacking gay and trans rights for years, often targeting 100s of thousands of followers at specific people. She was doing this in the cover of darkness.

      Her actual name was only discovered because of investigative journalism, and 100% should be attached to all of the hateful actions she takes. She does not want her actual name published along with these attacks, so we absolutely should continue attaching it.

        Having your name attached to hate speech is less undesirable these days so who knows

      You’d think the media might figure out not to give publicity to “hate influencers”. Jfc

        She had millions of followers when she was anonymous, and was very, very upset when her identity was revealed.

        This is no different than naming stonetoss or other hateful agitators that hide behind anonymity.

        If you can teach them to make money by doing so then you might be on to something.

    I feel bad for people who are influenced by influencers.

    Don’t platform hate speech. Musk may allow them to spew vile into his dumpster fire but Stonetoss and LibsOfTikTok are extremely deserving of censorship.

    It would be so much more efficient if the only people ever chosen at work were workaholics who hated their personal lives.
