I mean, whenever targets that are fairly universally liked, like puppies or sick children etc, are targeted i get suspicious.
Also the reason why every picture from ukraine had people with pets and tons of stories about pets in Ukraine in western media like the BBC.
Oh it's very real, not an op. I'm 100% sure. For weeks now Evangelical social media has really targeted that hospital. They've really been whipped into a frenzy over drag queen story hour -> Libs of TikTok and this notion that "elites" like school teachers are trying to turn kids trans -> the current "groomer" trend. Then recently they got this notion that Boston Children's has been performing all these gender surgeries on kindergartners or whatever. The vitriol in I've seen directed towards that hospital in recent weeks has been appalling. That they are now getting actionable threats made against them is the least surprising thing ever.
I'm also fairly certain it was a real threat phoned in by someone who's not an actual law enforcement stooge (or whatever you want to call it), I keep tabs on the equally online right as well.
It's hard to say whether the most recent anti-gay/anti-trans push that's been occurring in those spaces is totally organic or not though.
i mean it's part of the Super Happy Fun Times (is that the name? group that organized the Straight Pride Parade) hate network, which is pretty big. we talk about how it relates to communist organizing, but i'm sure such a notable fascist group also has a ton of infiltrators
Political movements are usually a bit more savvy about their public image than to target something like a children’s hospital but i guess the religious nuts have really become even more unhinged.
You’re right it’s probably not an op but it is an insane political strategy. Guaranteed to alienate your movement from most people that you might want to garner support from. Lol morons.
