Five dead and 25 injured at a gay bar last night and Chaya Raichik is gloating about getting under the skin of LGBTQ people and targeting other orgs in Colorado. This woman is a psychopath, she's emboldened by the changes at twitter, and she's extremely dangerous. 
There's a thing that public figures - even vehemently anti-gay ones - do after a tragedy like this where they signal that this was too far. It's how they communicate that there are guardrails in a society.
But Chaya Raichik is not a public figure. She is a troll and a terrorist elevated by an algorithm that prioritizes engagement above human life. She hides behind a keyboard and gloats at the pain of the LGBTQ community.
Twitter has had many opportunities to do something about this. In an interview I gave to CBC, I said that the language used by Libs of TikTok was going to lead to somebody getting killed.
I said this in April. cbc.ca/radio/day6/lib…

Twitter's new owner seems to find her terribly funny, though, and is addicted to losing money, so I have no hope that Twitter will heed the warnings of experts and remove Libs of TikTok from this app - especially when they just reinstated Trump.
So I hope that Chaya is watching Alex Jones real closely. Because that's where she's headed. I feel sick thinking about what is going to happen before that point. But that's where it ends.
