Hmmm...the worst I've seen revolve around the woman's refusal to accept a transwoman as female.
Whereas the threats from the TRAs consist of graphic, violent, frankly insane rhetoric, with pictures.
Different levels of bullying altogether, in my experience.

I'm not defending threats against anyone, gender-critical or otherwise. But TERFs are actively trying to deny human rights and identity to vulnerable people. They are bullies.

No, no we're not.
We're actively trying to stop males invading the women's public toilets, sports and reserved positions.

But I don't want to argue with you, cerebus - we agree on most things and you're definitely not a bone-headed troll. Besides, this is not the TRA vs TERFS thread. :D

Yes you are. You're trying to deny one group the rights that were fought for by your predecessors because you think you get to gatekeep who should qualify for them. It's bullying, plain and simple. Pulling up the ladder after you've climbed it.

Twitter bans posts wishing for Trump death. The Squad wonders where that policy was for them

The four progressive Democratic congresswomen known as "The Squad" expressed surprise on Friday night when Twitter posted about its policy against wishing harm or death to someone in light of President Trump's Covid-19 diagnosis.

Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts have all spoken out about the threats they receive on social media and say Twitter isn't doing enough about it.
Responding to media reporting Friday about people wishing death to the President, a verified account run by Twitter's spokespeople tweeted, "tweets that wish or hope for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against *anyone* are not allowed and will need to be removed."
"Seriously though, this is messed up. The death threats towards us should have been taking more seriously by [Twitter]," Rep. Rashida Tlaib tweeted in response.

Whop whop whop. Trying to piggyback on a story to gain some publicity again.
People call for censorship and complain when it affects them or doesn't affect them enough. "The Squad" has been made more relevant than what they really are and the claims of harassment is nothing new. If there were threats against them and it was reported it would be removed. It's mostly from some random people, whereas in this case these tweets against Trump come from high ranking verified people which get much more interaction than said randoms "The Squad" complains about.

These rules are not applied equally as @Aquila ka Hecate mentioned you have prominent TERF's being banned because their ideology (science) does not match with what other believe and is then labeled as hate speech. So forgive me for not believing what "The Squad" claims without evidence.

The same happened on FB. Biden campaign claims to have removed "negative ads" which our victim Illhan complained then about them doing, but yet there are still many negative ads running on FB. Trump campaign had 216 ads removed by FB for what they classified as violations. So yeah rules not applied equally.

Tell me Kieppe, which side of the political divide put the most focus on a group of junior senators?

Which side of the political divide gave them this relevance?

Louisiana is an open-carry state. It has no assault weapons laws, no magazine capacity laws, it requires no permits or registration of firearms... so for the life of me I can't see anything wrong or illegal in that clip.

Why would Chris Wallace need to condem a perfectly legal gathering?

Unless... Unless it's not the firearms that are the problem.

Way to avoid the actual content of the argument so I just assume you agree with the rest.

They are regularly feature in all the mainstream news. The only difference is the framing of their opinions. I wonder why Biden picked a junior senator for a co-chair on climate change, a junior senator who basically knows nothing.

No Greggy boy. He was pointing out the double standards. Thank you for agreeing on that.

If you want to go see what Black pro gun activists think go follow Maj Toure. You might actually agree with the most of what he says.
