They were appointed as the deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy.

Meanwhile LibsOfTikTok is run by the domestic terrorist Chaya Raichik. She is a hateful bigot who should be executed by the US government.
the baggage theft thing is weird but also seems like a genuine mistake. either way, getting unique luggage is a good idea.
I honestly haven’t bothered reading into it, but I figure anything posted by a rightwing hate account that advocates for bombing children’s hospitals is pretty safe to ignore.
It's extremely convoluted to explain how it's possibly a genuine mistake, and the fact they did it at least twice basically destroys any credibility they had remaining.
Eh. I’ll leave that to the legal system. Weird, but if it’s been sorted and they’ve served whatever community service then whatever. Smells too much like a manufactured scandal and I literally do not care about it.
I don’t see what this luggage thing has to do with their wider credibility.
:shrug-outta-hecks:
I don’t think it’s a mistake, it’s happened twice. They wear stolen dresses in public. Definitely not cool
:doubt:
kinda weird that you know this level of detail about a manufactured scandal by a hate group, but alright.
I read that they didn't even have any checked luggage when they took the bag.
But it's pretty irrelevant to why this person is being attacked. Most thieves don't get hate campaigns targeting them.
This :10000-com:%. We have a court system. If it’s not just libel (which I doubt, but sure whatever), then that system will take care of the issue if there is really anything there.

all I’m seeing here is someone who came into a dunking thread for a bigot to say their target had it coming.
I’m saying they definitely committed theft lol come on
How do you know that's true when they're in the middle of an organized smear campaign? Do you also believe Boston Children's Hospital does hysterectomies on toddlers because LibsofTiktok told you so?
There are news articles from legitimate sources regarding the thefts. Y'all are taking the chuds' bait on this one, it's best not to engage with this at all.
Not engaging with it would also mean not to incriminate the victim, especially not if the stories they're incriminated with feed into transphobic narratives that are a central part of the campaign. Situations like this aren't the time to dunk on people targeted by a nazi mob, not even if you have substantial criticism.
I'm not incriminating anyone, the information is already out there. By defending this person, you are setting yourself up to lose a moral battle that you could never win, which is exactly what these libs of tiktok type people want when they do this.
Read any biography about a black athlete that broke color barriers in the 40s and 50s. Not only did they have to be better at their jobs than 90% of their white peers to even get a shot, they also had to be near perfect human beings to prevent exactly the scenario we see playing out right now. It wasn't right then and it isn't right now, but that's reality. If you're not willing to form a militia and put these reactionaries up against a wall, then these are the parameters in which we have to exist. Frankly, I'd prefer the wall route, but not enough people want to do that or think it's possible, so here we are.
Like it or not, this person was representing a lot of marginalized folks when they took that job and they really fucked things up for a lot of people by stealing shit they had the resources to buy in the first place. It sucks that their identity is being made the focus by bad actors, but we know these are our enemy's tactics and we should act accordingly.
It’s bizarre this needs to be repeated to people.
It absolutely does not seem like a genuine mistake, they took a bag from a flight where they didn't even check a bag to begin with. I understand why you want to engage with chuds, here, because this person's sex life shouldn't be an issue and it's bullshit they bring it up, but this is the wrong hill to die on, IMO.
Like I said I haven’t looked into this at all and don’t really give a shit beyond how weird it is that this is coming up and being repeated in a thread about how deranged the post is of a fascist targeting them.
