Heritage Foundation uses false data to smear trans people as school shooters. The far-right think tank claims half of school shootings are by trans people. That’s not true.

Lie and just keep lying… thats all they know how to do…

I would really love to see who funds these clowns.

You all know they blamed the Jews for every single problem in Nazi Germany too, right? They know they are lying but they need a mostly defenseless “other” to pin everything on.
They will be rounding up trans people any day now and we need to do whatever we can to prevent that

>“There are no legitimate studies that suggest that a majority of school shootings since 2015 involve transgender people,” Rachel Carroll Rivas and R.G. Cravens of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project told *Wired* by email. “Trans people are far more likely to be victimized by gun violence than to perpetrate it.”
>“I’m aware of no evidence to support the claim that transgender people are disproportionately responsible for mass violence events in the U.S., including shootings in schools,” Michael Jensen, research director at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, told [*USA Today*](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/08/29/shooting-minnesota-school-transgender-online-untruths/85876291007/) shortly after the Minneapolis shooting. “In fact, the data suggests quite the opposite.”
>In 1,000 “mass casualty” plots identified by Jensen since 2023, “you can count on less than one hand how many of those were perpetrated by a transgender individual,” he said.
>Indeed, most mass shooters are cisgender men: 95 percent of the perpetrators in shootings tracked since 1966 were male, according to the [Rockefeller Institute of Government](https://rockinst.org/gun-violence/mass-shooting-factsheet/). And the vast majority have been cisgender.
>Instead of “transgender ideology” being a motivation, “white supremacist, anti-government, and misogynist beliefs account for the lion’s share of ideologically motivated gun violence,” *Wired* concludes.
Let’s stop calling the Heritage Foundation a “think tank”, because they only thing The Heritage Foundation is thinking about is committing genocide against trans people.
The Heritage Foundation is a Christian nationalist terrorist group, and that’s all they should be called.

If it were not for lies, Nazi Republicans would be capable of making no sound at all.
Obviously anything coming from the Heritage coven is going to be “fact challenged.”

1% of mass shootings trans person related…..the vast majority are conducted by white, heterosexual males…..just the facts

These people long ago learned they can say whatever they want, and the magaverse will swallow it without question. Like Trump saying he’d secured $17 trillion in new investments in the US. Yes, he said *trillion.* More than the GDPs of the world’s top 10 largest economies combined, minus the US and China.
They can make up whatever they want, and they know it.

If there was a war between Heritage and Cato to recreate Hell on Earth, and I was forced to pick a side, I will take arms up for Cato Institute.

Today I was thinking about how the GOP portrays trans issues as being political when it’s absolutely not. It’s about respecting the right of people to exist. It’s human rights. There’s no middle ground here. One side wants to eliminate a class of people and the other side objectively understands that this is wrong.

The Heritage Foundation is, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, a terrorist organization. If the country ever returns to sanity, it needs to be shut down.

99.9999999 % of school shooters and other mass shooters are right wingnut trump supporters. The heritage foundation is a terrorist organization and must be treated as a terrorist organization that is a clear and present danger to America and the world. Take your 2025 playbook and shove it up your asses

What the hell. Seriously what is this weird obsession already with trans Americans—yes they are Americans remember?
Sometimes I think it’s just about seeing how far you can push an alternate reality and maintain compliance or is it complicity Jim Jones style?
Like what are they testing the limits for?
The lemmings are already in line bro, unless you’re getting ready to pick up people and take them to the gallows/trains/camps, what more do you want?
Fascist lunatics.

If you exclude everyone except Trump, 100% of the Trump administration were good friends with Epstein. That’s the kind of data they’re using.
