You need to understand Libs of TikTok's stochastic terrorism.

LoTT and orbiters have weaponized violent extremists against lgbtq+ people for months. She calls targets, and they answer.

Now, Boston Children's Hospital gets death threats.

Here's how she operates: 🧵

Over the course of the last week, LoTT has posted dozens of tweets that target Boston Children's Hospital for providing gender affirming care to trans teens within all medical association and WPATH guidelines.

She continues even AFTER knowing they are getting violent threats.

Chaya Raichik (the person who runs Libs of TikTok) has orbiters that push her content to similar audiences. Here, Matt Walsh amplifies the message attacking Boston Children's Hospital. The result is extremely predictable. Thanks to Media Matters for this clip:

But this is not the first time Chaya has weaponized violent extremists. She has a very, very long history of doing so. I will document examples here.

Let's start with several months ago - she attacked Doernbecher Children's Hospital, for teaching trans teens how to tuck safely.

Direct threats followed in replies to the post from Libs of Tiktok against Doernbecher children's Hospital on Twitter's platform.

Twitter did nothing. These tweets are STILL up.

In an exclusive, I obtained an email from an employee showing that the hospital did receive harassment. I'm told that the situation was tense. This did not get reported on at the time, but it would become one in a long line of events like this.

On May 13, Libs of TikTok reported that the Kiel School District in Kiel, Wisconsin was the site of a title IX lawsuit because a transgender kid was getting bullied and harassed. She blasted it to her million followers.

The principal was harassed and deleted their account.

Direct violent threats followed in replies to the post from Libs of Tiktok against Kiel School District in Wisconsin on Twitter's platform.

Twitter did nothing. These tweets are STILL up.

The result of Libs of TikTok's targeted harassment of Kiel, Wisconsin and a principal there?

A town that was paralyzed by bomb threats and all schools shut down until they closed the title IX investigation early over the threats.

On June 7th, Libs of TikTok fired off several tweets on Coeur d’Alene's pride festival in Idaho. She said that the Satantic Temple was a sponsor.

The result of Libs of TikTok's targeted harassment of the pride parade in Coeur d'Alene?

A U-haul full of Patriot Front members were unloaded by police a block away with intent to cause violence at the pride festival.

On May 30, just before Pride, Libs of TikTok targeted a slew of family friendly pride events, story hours, etc. Among them was this one in San Lorenzo.

The result of Libs of TikTok's targeted harassment of the family friendly pride events and Drag Queen Story Hours?

A storming of multiple libraries with violent threats in front of children. Here's a video of the one mentioned above.

There are so many more examples. On July 4th, Libbs of tiktok blasted a Jewish Summer Camp over accepting trans campers. Immediately after, they were forced to hire extra security because of threats:

Another time, she harassed a teacher who explained what being trans is. The usual result of violent comments led to the school itself closing down its social media channels. As usual, violent comments with no removal by Twitter.

MMFA has been covering this as have many activists. Twitter is not just fostering an epidemic of violent threats online, it is serving as a home base for people like Chaya Raichik at Libs of TikTok and her orbiters to make the world less safe.

Now, Boston Children's hospital is the latest under siege. Workers there have privated their accounts. Activists are getting death threats. Look at what happened as a result of a Libs of TikTok post to Alejandra, who they threaten to tie and light on fire

So whenever Libs of TikTok plays dumb about stochastic terrorism over Boston Children's Hospital, whenever her orbiters like Matt Walsh and Chris Rufo play dumb about what Stochastic terrorism is, they have no excuse. They know.

And so does twitter, who enables them.
