Ari Drennen at MMFA:

She’s at it again: Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik seized on early reports by local law enforcement to suggest that a high schooler who was arrested for making a threat about a school shooting is part of an “epidemic” of “trans violence.” Although police later clarified that they’d inaccurately used he/him pronouns to refer to the student, the account — which currently has 3.5 million followers on X — never bothered to share the correction.

The tactic of blaming trans people immediately and then refusing to backtrack when more details emerge has become a troubling pattern for Libs of TikTok. Following the recent school shooting in Winder, Georgia, Raichik called for “a national conversation about the modern LGBTQ movement radicalizing youth into becoming violent activists,” misrepresenting a CNN report claiming that the shooter had been motivated by fury over society’s acceptance of trans people. The account also seized on inaccurate media reports that a shooter at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, was trans, fearmongering about a supposed “epidemic of trans violence.” Raichik previously refused to delete a post blaming an innocent trans woman for carrying out the tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, acknowledging that she had been wrong but defending her decision to leave the post up by asking whether there was “a law against lying.” The post is still live, more than 8 months after it was originally posted.

Anti-LGBTQ+ extremist X account Libs of TikTok used the Apalachee High School Shooting to push the blatantly false trope of a “trans shooter epidemic” for the purpose of stoking anti-trans animus, nevermind the fact that most mass shooters are cis males.

I found three more GoFundMes for the families of the Apalachee High School shooting victims.

This one is for the other child, Christian Angulo.

This one is for one of the teachers, Richard Aspinwall.

This one is for the other teacher, Cristina Irimie.

Here's the one for Mason Schermerhorn again, just so they're all here.

You can read more about each of them here.

SAY THEIR NAMES:

Richard Aspinwall, dedicated math teacher.

Mason Schermerhorn, a bright 14-year-old student.

Christian Angulo, a beloved 14-year-old student.

This is a heartbreaking tragedy.

Important (not exactly important) question for the TCC /Overlapping Zero Day fans, which is most of you: Do we think that Colt Gray enjoyed Zero Day, seeing as he was also apart of the TCC? If yes, do we think he thought of himself more as the Andre, or as the Cal?

Half my family teaches or has taught, I work in education administration...

Another part of my family is in the army.

I worry more about the teachers than I do those serving under arms.

Oliver Willis at Daily Kos:

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance is being criticized by Vice President Kamala Harris and gun violence survivors for his comments in the wake of Wednesday’s school shooting near Atlanta. Four people, including two children, were killed at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, and nine more were injured. The suspect, a 14-year-old male student, is in custody. According to law enforcement officials, the gun used in the attack was an AR-style assault rifle. Speaking on Thursday at a campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona, a reporter asked Vance to comment on the shooting and to detail his policy recommendations to prevent these attacks.

[JD VANCE: Now look, the Kamala Harris answer to this is to take law-abiding American citizens’ guns away from them. That is what Kamala Harris wants to do. But we have to ask ourselves—we actually have been able to run an experiment on this—because you’ve got some states with very strict gun laws and you’ve got some states that don’t have strict gun laws at all, and the states with strict gun laws, they have a lot of school shootings. And the states without strict gun laws, some of them have school shootings too, so clearly strict gun laws is not the thing that is going to solve this problem. What is going to solve this problem, and I really do believe this, is look—I don’t like this, I don’t like to admit this, I don’t like that this is a fact of life. But if you’re—if you are a psycho, and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets. And we have got to bolster security at our schools so that a person who walks through the front door— We’ve got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children, they’re not able to.]

What a jerk JD Vance is for saying that school shootings are a “way of life.” Dear Mr. Vance, school schools are a “way of life” thanks to cowardly politicians paid off by the gun lobby who don’t want to solve the gun violence epidemic.

To think about the fact that those two students most likely didn't get a chance to text their loved ones goodbye or many others who survived because of the phone policy that they're putting across America is heartbreaking but also frustrating that schools are still choosing the wrong issue to focus on.
