Three bomb threats called in to Planet Fitness locations here in North Dakota as well, but this state is also heavily infested with MAGAts and domestic terrorist types.
Stochastic terrorism, a tool of fascists for 100 years. Used as the "shock troops" to terrify the populace and instill fear and chaos that the media will helpfully blame on "the Left" or "both sides" (at best). Frightened people will then be more likely to vote authoritarians into power- who will then have the more powerful weapons of state violence at their disposal.
I’m wondering nowadays how someone even calls in a bomb threat without buying a burner phone? Because every call is annotated somewhere. And buying a phone and setting up an account just to threaten someone seems like a lot of work for these numbnuts…
Stupid and needless. My own wife (who is just adorable with a short, pixie cut) is also pretty hairy and chooses to infrequently shave her body hair, because those gender rules make no sense. She’s had kids approach her and ask, “are you a boy or a girl?” It’s adorable. Surely, these angry nuts sending bomb threats would say “put on a long, blonde wig and high heels! You are confusing children!” I just imagined her in a huge blonde wig and 4-inch heels and it made me laugh. So, my wife could be showering at the gym and send one of these terrible people into hysterics. Fear not, ladies, she’s all woman, and that huge bulge in her shorts is just her 70’s bush. :)
Unfortunately, horribly, the story about a man shaving in the locker room grew and a Massachusetts FB friend, and generally great person, heard and posted that the person was shaving their balls and that there was a 12 yr old girl present. Friend quit her membership from local Planet Fitness and was insisting that the local gym make sure her ending of her contract documented the "real reason". The craziness grows. A crazy story like that always prompts a fact check from me but people are so gullible.
I think the dominoes may be starting to fall. From Trumps inability to secure a valid bond, the upcoming hush money trial, his campaign in a shambles, the horrid AZ ruling that will totally destroy the GOP to people being punished to the shit that they have done. Here’s what happened with Biden’s daughter’s diary case. Project Veritas is gone so they can’t be sued or prosecuted I presume. Also some other crazy guy got fined $2.5m for trying to scare Black Americans from voting.
about your closing paragraph, Robyn, it's the same exact tactics that were used to terrorize women seeking abortions and that resulted in the killing of Dr. Tiller.
the overturning of Roe has simply emboldened the terrorists and aspirants.

It's easy to give up rights if you think you, personally, don't need them. Or if you expect exceptions, on account of injustice always favoring you.

Posit: they are not at all radical feminists and just call themselves that.
PF's inclusiveness is exactly WHY I chose to join them a couple months ago.
I'm gonna shake my wang-dang-doodle all night loooong.
Cyclist out.

Serious question. Why does anyone listen to anonymous bomb threats anymore? What’s percent of anonymous threats have real bombs? 0?
You want to make the threat you show up in person or fuck off.
We are letting the terrorists win by scrambling each time the psychos say jump

Saw one of those creepy 'Choose Life' bumper stickers with the gauzy GIANT BAYBEE.
I'm trying to figure out how to fit a gauzy Gladys Kravitz with 'Choose MINDING YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS' on aforementioned bumper sticker.
Ta, Robyn. Here's hoping LOTT and Chaya Raichik end up like Lot's wife.

wait! a TERF wants to “end gender ideology.”
physician heed your own advice? anyone? Bueller?
I think it's mostly because groups like that are seething with hatred and just ITCHING to be violent
