The attack on Mark is another stunt by right-wing grifters to victimize a random person in an effort to use MAGA fear mongering to justify their existence. It should go without saying we should do anything possible to support his family.

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

this post brought to you by the wild amount of vitriol I’ve gotten on the other site for daring to tweet thoughtcrimes about B*ri W**ss

sometimes I wonder what kind of insults I’d get from chuds online if I didn’t have tattoos and piercings. they never call me ugly (because come on) so I guess they’d just have to get extra creative

I’m a woman and that’s fine but man I always panic when I have to dress in any way that specifically implies femininity and isn’t just “black T-shirt, black jeans, black boots or sneakers”
