Sorry, no… Riley Gaines fucking sucks (which doesn’t make Olbermann not an asshole). She decided to call in a Twitter strike on a library (which did feature a stupid, non 1st amendment aware librarian) which has now received three bomb threats and irrevocably cemented a woman she was “defending” as town pariah. It’s not cool when any of the baddies do it, so I guess she’s one of the baddies now.
On Monday (21 August), Mary L. Stephens library in Davis, a city about 14 miles from Sacramento, received an anonymous bomb threat in a phone call that included anti-LGBTQ+ speech. The building and a nearby elementary school were evacuated.
The threat came a day after the Yolo county chapter of Moms for Liberty hosted a meeting during which trans inclusion in sport was criticised. During the event, library staff were forced to repeatedly warn speakers that misgendering athletes broke the library’s code of conduct.
After continuing [the speakers continued] to misgender trans athletes, a staff member asked them to leave.
…
Just before 9am, Gaines reposted the video and wrote: “This is ridiculous but not shocking … a female athlete silenced for calling a spade a space.”
She went on to share the library’s name and contact number with her 700,000+ followers, and by 3pm the library had reportedly received the threatening phone call.
So she should have kept the library’s name and contact number secret? Is that the idea?
I’m aware that Gaines is conservative and that I would disagree with her on most subjects, but on the other hand it wasn’t my idea, or the idea of the feminist left in general, for the left to tell women to pretend men can be women or else.
It’s publicly available information, people can find it for themselves without someone painting a bullseye on the library. You wouldn’t condone a big TRA account doing the same thing because you know damn well what would happen. End result, library is harassed, the people of Davis ain’t changed their views one iota and poor Beth/Bethany is fucked forever.
I’m sorry her medal was stolen, but Gaines can get bent.
Um, no, it’s absolutely permissible to provide the contact information of a public organization for people to lodge complaints. It’s bog standard practice and has been forever, in fact, whether that organization is the government, a hospital, a school, a library, a political lobbying group, or what-the-fuck-ever.
You think Trump “sucks” but you talk just like him. You have become your own enemy Mr Olbermann.
Well, you see, she’s a member of the rival tribe, so everything and anything is justified.

What? Details, sources, particulars?
