Anti-LGBTQ+ extremist Chaya Raichik – who runs the social media account “Libs of TikTok” – has been sparring with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) over the organization’s decision to include her in its Glossary of Extremism.
After Raichik made a stink about being labeled an extremist, threatening legal action if she wasn’t removed from the list, the Jewish anti-hate organization angered progressives by caving to her demands.
“The word ‘musk’ is a slur for ugly white men. shame on anyone who uses it.”
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I’m calling on the @ADL to immediately remove my name from their “Glossary of Extremism.” Not only have they defamed me, they also lumped me in with terrorist organizations like Hamas. They have until Oct 31st to remove this defamatory entry before I’m forced to… pic.twitter.com/lJTsmgO454

“The @ADL are a bunch of f**king cowards caving to this terrorist,” wrote trans activist Alejandra Caraballo. “They just set an example that any extremist can just publicly threaten them and they’ll cave like cowards. It will completely undermine the credibility and legitimacy of their work on tracking and documenting extremism.”
Another popular account called the ADL’s decision “absolutely cowardly,” adding “Chaya and her lawyer publicly threatened to sue me in a similar manner. Haven’t heard anything about it in over a year. She has literally never taken anything to trial because her lawyer isn’t as braindead as her.”

The ADL has since spoken to The Advocate to confirm that Raichik has been temporarily removed while they “continue to review the matter.” The spokesperson also emphasized that the organization “maintain[s] any potential litigation is meritless.”
The publication also gained access to a letter to Raichik from ADL chief legal officer Steven Sheinberg. Sheinberg stated that “as a preliminary matter, we disagree with your assertions that ADL has done anything defamatory or otherwise harmful to you. Our reporting and opinions are constitutionally protected, reflect your status as a public figure, and are accurate.”
“At the same time, we are not immune to criticism of our work, and take such feedback into consideration,” the ADL continued. “Indeed, the Glossary of Extremism is an evolving resource and one we are presently reviewing in terms of brand, substance, and function including examining the mechanics of how materials are recommended to users. As a result, we will temporarily remove Libs of TikTok from the Glossary.”
“This is not an endorsement of your body of writing and other material reflective of your odious views about, and harmful impact to, the LGBTQ+ community remain on the ADL website.”
While Raichik is no longer in the glossary of extremism, another resource on ADL’s site still describes Libs of TikTok as an anti-LGBTQ+ extremist account.
Raichik’s campaign of stochastic terrorism against LGBTQ+-affirming institutions has led to bombing and death threats at schools and children’s hospitals across the country. She has claimed that she is merely sharing information and can’t control how people respond. However, her account has echoed right-wing claims of LGBTQ+ people and allies “indoctrinating,” ”grooming,” and “sexualizing” kids — rhetoric that leads to violence against queer people and their allies.
Prosecutors in Chicago have failed to charge a suspect identified in photo lineups as the shooter who killed a trans woman and her mother in a home invasion in January . Three other victims were wounded, including two other trans women. The suspect, who remains unidentified because he hasn’t been charged, has two other pending cases in Cook County court, records reveal: a felony residential burglary count and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The 19-year-old suspect lives in the same apartment complex as the victims did, on Chicago’s South Side. The police report for the mass shooting details how two people “kicked in the front door and began shooting” at about 1:40 p.m. on January 23. Unique Banks, 20, and her mother Alexsandra Olmo, 43, were killed at the scene. Three other victims were hospitalized in critical condition. One witness told investigators they had seen two males running north from the courtyard building wearing green camouflage. The shooting took place o...
The U.S. Census Bureau, after nearly a year of pushing the Biden administration, will begin testing questions pertaining to LGBTQ+ identity on its American Community Survey (ACS). These questions would ask people about their sexual orientation and gender identity. The Bureau put out a Federal Register notice signifying that this is the last chance for the public to give comment on all pending ACS questions, including those pertaining to LGBTQ+ individuals. The deadline given for comment is May 30, with an online form provided for any feedback on these questions. The wording for these questions can be found on the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website . After the Bureau’s deadline, it will be submitting the questions to the Office of Management and Budget, where they will await approval for testing in the summer. The ACS asks questions about demographic, socioeconomic, and housing-related topics annually. New questions must undergo a rigorous approval and testing p...
Conservatives were already upset about Target over its LGBTQ+-inclusive Pride collection. But now they’re angry over fake AI-generated images that show the store selling “Satanic” clothing. The images show kids wearing clothes with inverted pentagrams and goat heads and a store display with a red, goat-headed mannequin. The images were created by Facebook user Dan Reese with the AI program Midjourney, Reuters reported . A Target spokesperson told the publication that it “has never sold” the pictured items, and the items aren’t available on the store’s website.
