I've a new piece out in The Barbed Wire, based on a fresh set of data from #GLAAD documenting almost 100 anti-LGBTQIA hate incidents in #Texas since 2022. 10 incidents can be traced to Chaya Raichik, the online hatemongerer better known as Libs of TikTok.
For this article, I teamed up with Leslie Rangel, Investigations Editor at The Barbed Wire:
