The GOP: "When it involves transgenders, one mass shooting is too many! The others? Meh."

Mike Johnson berated Psaki & Newsom for repeating families, clergy & the mayor stating they don't need thoughts & prayers but less guns. Johnson turned this into a more prayer. He ended it with "it's not a guns issue". His state-3rd highest-639 per 100K-ranked 48th f/safety-MN-277-ranked 13th.

Mike Johnson attacking trans people would be leaping out of the closet-he's a gay man living in DC with a gay former religious leader, who greats Mike at the door in pajama shorts only.

He literally turned up on Fox News in full contour makeup one day.

Maybe his boyfriend - err - "roommate" that runs around with no shirt and shortie pj's when Mike comes home did the makeup that day!

Which is why I call him closet boy Johnson!

thank you, knew the republicans would blame transgenders over assault rifles.

Comer Pyle is handling the records for Trump

Trump will be putting more people in the Streets

@meidastouch.com

What a racist I should tell him that I have African American Ancestors which I am proud of

Well this makes it plainly obvious that it is the hormone blockers that are causing the mass shootings. Duh.

It's worth noting that Robin had detransitioned. Under what looked like self-imposed pressure from all of the hate speech about trans people in right-wing media.

It's guns!

We have a ways to go sisters!!

4197 is the problem. This is where the USA is number 1.

bsky.app/profile/bear...

Yes that’s better!

How many were radicalized by southern wacko MEGA pastors & TV Evangelicals who worship fossil fuels? We’ve all seen the abomination of the bible by these grifters. They fit in more as worshippers of Satan.

So we should lock up all non- transgender people according to their twisted logic

WOW.

4000+ Mass Shooters in 7 years.... Seen from Europe this is CRAZYYYYYYYYYY by voting for guns, you vote for the right to get shot. I really don't get that :D

in europe since 2018

Hello

70% of the American public agrees with gun control measures. Our politicians are bought off.

The idea of shooting back seems so fun

How many of the 4,193 non-trans gender shooters were white, Christian males?

0.0009 %

Certainly says it all!

How about men. How many were men.

Would not have occurred to a normal population...but what we have now is a cult...and that tells us everything about them...they have problems... Also not a threat to add to your statistics...drag queens...you know...entertainers with great shows💙

Majority white cis male. Are white men dangerous and more prone to violence than others?

I wish it did help but ... 39% of U.S. adults believe we are living in the end times Also, and these are my fave: *Reptilian humanoids secretly run the US and other countries. *The Illuminati (from the 1770s?) is plotting world domination. *Elites want to force ordinary people to eat insects. 🪲

Yes.

Kkk

How many were white maga?

How many were just White?

How many had access to assault rifles they really didn't need because of a powerful gun lobby? That's an unequivocally insane amount of mass shootings.

44 in 2025 alone. Why is it always the gun lobby or the GOP, Etc Why isn't it the people who constantly put these people in office?

I don't get it. I don't even think banning assault rifles would work anymore. There are just too many out there and it's become so ingrained because of the lobby groups that no one would give them up no matter how many shootings there are. Lucky we did before it it became too hard here in Australia.

It's not because of the lobbying groups, it is the people on whom the onus lies. Americans don't hold themselves accountable, it's always someone or something else. Accountability,that's where we need to start. I don't think it'll be just one solution.

98%

Enough that any people who are not maga become negligible, so it's safe to say 100% of mass shooters have been white males with hatred towards poc, minorites and women.

bsky.app/profile/abdo... is why 22,000 children and 17,000 women were killed, and 158,000 had their legs or hands cut off.

Now let's do white vs.poc!

"The facts ma'am, nothing but the facts." "Dragnet Officer Joe Friday "But there R"Alternative Facts." Kellyanne Conway,White House CommunicationsAide in the 1st Trump Fascist Administration, Hitler's Goebbels would be envious of the Trump Administration.Trump as 24 Hr Cable News, the Web & Fox News

Instead of outlawing trans people, why don’t they outlaw cis-gender white males‼️ They are the majority of mass shooters‼️🤨

"Only straight White men are allowed to shoot kids!"

I can't wait to see the comparison of number of straight cis men that molest kids v the transgender community. They will just claim it's fake news.

It should help, but it won’t.

We should have the number where MAGA falsely claimed they were transgender, too

That seems about accurate as to the level of concern Christian fascists have for transgendered ppl. Compare transgender college athletes to college athletes to Christian-fascist obsessions with them.

That’s more than three orders of magnitude more, fwiw

The point would be better if we used the real stats - which are just as horrible - without inflating t hem.

#ItsTheGuns #GunReformNow

A breakdown of mass shooters: Straight males: 98% Straight white male: 57% Trans: .13% If you’re focusing on the shooter being trans you DO NOT care about mass shootings. Stop pretending to everyone that you somehow care about children being murdered, because you clearly do not.

Well if it's a fact it won't help. The dumbass people destroying our country make it a point to ignore facts.

How about "mass shooters since 2018 who were white males"? A brief search for info yielded this: www.statista.com/statistics/4...

Almost all were white heterosexual "Christian" men.

📌

It's not the guns. Blood stained glass. 2nd Amendment. Blood stained glass. Shots ring out. Blood stained glass. Political games. Blood stained glass. Thoughts and prayers. Blood stained glass._ Tiny coffins. Blood stained glass.

politicalamericans.com/pres-trump-s...

And they wonder why there is a "male lonliness" epidemic. 🧐

How many white angry men??

Don't y'all miss Twitter? I bet it misses y'all.

negative 4 I like that

Underrepresented, considering all the bullying they endure.

True, Protect the most vulnerable of community’s @blacktranstexas.bsky.social Has been hospitalized from a physical attack from transphobic hate. They need help getting a wheel chair after leaving hospital.

I’d also like to add… happy people don’t kill other people…. That is all

Mass shooters that are maga? Mass shooters that are veterans? Mass shooters that are black? Mass shooters that are white?

Statistics, numbers and math is not considered by those who go with their feelings or "common sense" or just know it better. I have the creepy feeling that you just cannot get through their wall, regardless of arguments. They don't even listen.

You are right. Just watch some of Jordan Klepper's interviews with people at Trump's rallies, and you can see that it is impossible to get through to these people. Their need to be right supersedes the need to have facts or proof.

That’s 0.1% of the mass shooters. Hmm….

Do not let the violent right change the narrative and fight to get weapons of war off of our streets.

It'd also be helpful to include the skin color and politics there as well, because the group with the least reason to have grievances is also the group that commits the vast majority of mass murders. Lookin' at you, white righties.

So true. Also true with high schools in many places in the midwest. I've had friends harrassed, beaten, ridiculed for being LGBTQ, to the point they suicided. 2/3 of our class left the area & Iowa, making something of themselves-it's no wonder Iowa is sinking...esp education & population.

Trump & His Administration, GOP, Media & TV News like @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @washingtonpost.com @axios.com @nytimes.com and their Supporters and Viewers MAGAts can't count and do not care about fact numbers, only care for spread Lies, violence, intimidation & Media Ratings!

And many school shootings are about bullying. Who are the most bullied? When you think about it that way, it's surprising the number isn't higher. Transgender (all LBGTQIA+) are less likely to commit violence of any kind than to have violence against them. 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🫶

Most of the time it's the bullies who commit the shootings. And most of the time it's somebody who has been festering in right-wing media's grievances and hateful bigoted lies who goes out and commits these things. Cannot overstate the reliability of this pattern. It is always there.

My grad class had 3 gay kids suicide-piano wire, pills, & 1 by gun. Learned that quite a few "straights" would sexually assault them and others perceived weak. The good that came out of this that many were jailed & on the SO Registry. 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️. I begged family for a different school in my senior year.

I was a psych major in undergrad, & ended up getting counseling & came out better-after a marriage/divorce, several children that she abandoned. Raised them, I have a wonderful husband and 30 years of bliss and counting!

4,193 > 4 By a country mile!

bsky.app/profile/moth...

And how many were white males?

95% cisgender males between the ages of 18-46 with a definition of 4+ people shot as defined by the gun violence archives, mother Jones labels a mass shooting at 3+ people killed and excluded gang or domestic violence. Handguns at ~78% semi-auto rifles are more prevalent now but still in the ~30s.

Thank you. I knew it was at least 90%. I thought it was interesting the post omitted that fact.

Quickly looking up some US numbers from a US university on population and % of transgender people living in the US yields that 0.8% of people in the US are transgender. If you apply that to these numbers, 4:4193 (0.09%) and see the comparison. 0.8% vs 0.09%. Blaming transgender people is bullshit

Thank you. I’ve been attacked TWICE since this shooting. I’m an open trans man. Thankfully I’m also a martial artist.

What about honesty ? Compare what's comparable ! STATS, what percentage per population

Mass shooters carrying easily accessible guns?

The former intern, Thomas (Doctor Evil) Fulgate III, is responsible for disbanding the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, known as CP3 which was responsible for identifying potential shooters.

Transgenders on girls teams 5, only one actually won their race or excelled in the sport!?

Gender has nothing to do with criminal behavior. No connection. None. It might help if people stop abusing people according to gender. This cause isolation. Bigots are the criminals.

Also shooters are the criminals.

That does help and thank you for providing that data. I am now ready to challenge anyone who states otherwise.

republican "men" with tiny dics; 40 million. 😆

And the hits just keep shrinking

Is that where trumps ass is buried?

That littledickitis😂

Right now, Trump’s favorability rating is at 37%. The only President to hit such a low mark since Gallup started doing polls in 1938 was Nixon, whose favorability hit the same number in 1974 just before he resigned and took off for San Clemente. mikeweisser.medium.com/trump-going-...

37% seems far too high, but his MAGA base just won't give up on him.

tRuMp 47 has the lowest favorability rating since [checks notes] tRuMp 45.

nixon had resistance from honorable gops no honorable gops currently felon omnipotent

2012–2021 (10-yr window): 75% of U.S. extremist-related murders were committed by right-wing extremists.  2022: 27 of 27 extremist-related murders (100%) were linked to right-wing extremism.  2023: 17 of 17 (100%) were linked to right-wing extremism. 

Yes, thank you.

White males would be a number to look at.

✔️

I already noticed that FOX was calling the shooter this time, as the Trans Shooter. Really pushing it.

Numbers plus facts #Resist #FuckTrump

How many were white males? Probably the majority of them.

I think 127 were non transgender women. But my guess would be the rest were white males.

👍👍. FACTS MATTER.

More than 4. Why didn't they break down the 4k into who was on anti depressants and race?

Nothing can help trumps' little Johnson. He's right where he wants to be. Lying for a pedophile.

But can they read?

yeah, but the trans shooters were still worse. 4 vs 4K? I'll take the 4K thank you very much. /s if it wasn't obvious.

👍Or Drag Queens U Ritewing Fake Xtians!

Considering there are 40 NCAA athletes out of 500k that are trans and republicants want to ban them from sports I dont think this is the statistic thats gonna change anyones mind.

Mass shooters who used guns? All of the above

Thank you for helping!

How many shooters had a MAGA hat? In one of the rare mass shootings we had in Canada, the terrorist was a MAGA.

The reason they're really freaking out is because it was a right wing nut job sort-of trans person. They thought they were immune.

The 'trans community' 🏳️‍⚧️ & I use the term loosely, is far from homogeneous They are all human beings, first & foremost They represent all facets of the spectrum accordingly, light to dark, good to evil Arbitrarily focusing on one aspect of this person flies in the face of "correlation=causation"

Yeah there's log cabin trans people. Believe me I used to know a couple they are absolutely infuriating. So desperate to kowtow to the far right and fit in with some bs world view that they will throw their own sisters under the bus rather than admit they are wrong about something.

This phenomenon is also known as #HorizontalViolence. Infighting among social & professional orgs goes back to before biblical times. It occurs among many types of peer groups & there are fine studies which give clarity to this preventable source of humanity. Competition instead of cooperation?🤷

My point exactly. Thanks for rewording it for whatever reason.

My journey adjacent to many trans-folk has been long and complicated. During decades in the service of #SuicidePrevention I've seen 'behind the curtain' of too many lives that could have realized a better outcome if only they had received support, instead of the opposite, even from their own peers.

My comment was referring to the straight right wingers who seem (as in this instance, yet again) to wonder aloud if any murderer is trans. Like that's a natural thing to wonder about. Not our trans brothers and sisters. RWNJs never change. Sorry if I was unclear.

transequality.org/resources/fa...

Sadly too many otherwise rational people are still operating with a partially self-imposed stigma based on misinformation & ignorance. Things were SO close to some resolution ~20 years ago, but the barely hidden agenda of factions within the #LGBT leadership scuttled it. Look up the #ENDA fight 🏳️‍⚧️⏳

Transgender people make up approximately 1% of the US population (per the Williams Institute) and 0.1% of mass shooters (per the above tweet). Transgender people are 1/10 as likely to commit a mass shooting than other Americans. Straight white males are another subject entirely.

👍🏻

Do you have similar data on pedophiles? Also, please list the data for pedophiles with religious or political jobs.

That's 4,197 mass shooters in the US since 2018? That's frightening... That's mind-blowing.

I kind of hate the latest shooter reference being 'she'. Regardless of what he thought, he was still a he. Shes don't commit mass shooting. This is a guy thing so leave the girls out of it.

The fact it even has to be said shows how skewed the narrative is.

As a trans man in this country, I’m terrified. Let’s round up all the straight cis white males who are responsible for 98% of mass shootings. And idgaf what issues a person has. STOP targeting children. Fucking cowards🏳️‍⚧️🤬🏳️‍⚧️

Is this supposed to make us feel better that children are being slaughtered based on sexuality?? Who gives a crap! Stop the slaughtering no matter who you choose to be!!

You’re right - but I think they’re pointing out that trans shooters are a tiny fraction of the overall population, in contrast with right wing narratives. Always good to shine a light on the truth!

I guess but does it fix the issue? I notice Americans are always looking to cast blame to continue exclusion instead of finding solutions. It’s quite petty and the reason why we continue to fail! The right wing will always have the weirdest narratives, who gives a crap stop giving them the power!

The fact they know what will fix it and refuse to do so is what infuriates me the most.

And that’s the key my friend. If they won’t….we must! I’m tired of burying children HBU?

Well if I was going to cast blame on anyone for these shootings it would be right-wing hate media like Fox News and Charlie Kirk and the like. They're the ones who keep firing these people up, and following this crew in media is one of the most reliable circles in the Venn diagram of shooters.

It’s a very important point Sharyn The current administration is using “trans” people as the latest deflection from the rule issue of gun culture It also empowers MAGA supporters to think of themselves as vigilantes & endangers those who choose freely to live as a man or woman Needs to be said.

In this nation we focus on the wrong things while they come up with new BS. We have got to think ahead of the game and fix it. Distraction is their key goal. Shame on legacy media for their adjectives. Why does that matter. This was a massacre of kids by a lunatic….period!

The point is moot IMO! Stop focusing on what others are doing and start focusing on the real issue, America’s gun culture. Turning the spotlight onto trans people is distraction which is their goal. The conversation needs to stay on ending gun violence, not scapegoating.

Probably not...just a reason for them to go after the group and eliminate the facts from the equation

Only 13 of 345 mass shooters during the same period were female. The vast majority are straight white men. www.statista.com/statistics/4...

Please help me understand how being Trans is to be hated and admonished but being a PEDOPHILE is ok?

Yet, at the same time, what the fuck did they think would happen when they vilify everyone they don’t understand.

Now at white!

How many called themselves Christians?

Numbers and statistics don’t matter to MAGA. They just hate everyone that doesn’t look like or think like them. They lie to justify and disguise their racism and diversity intolerance.

Mass shooter categories with anything resembling legitimate grievances with American society: NOT the vast majority of white Republican men who perpetrate these crimes. They act on bullshit resentments inflamed by moronic, easily debunked conspiracy theories. Treat people bad, they might lash out.

And drag queens - 0

That works out to ~ 10 shootings per week. Are these numbers really accurate?

The best measure is per capita. What is that? I'm a liberal but we should be consistent to make sure we identify issues if there are any.

TY. Let’s remember an uneducated man with opinions based on his ‘feelings’ is running our country as a dictator-in-training. Inconvenient truths are his nemesis. Until someone in his family is gunned down, he doesn’t care. But again, TY for your thoughtful post.

If he was raised in a poor, disadvantaged community, he would have had the potential to become a mass shooter. Grandiose feelings, life unfair, better than others, etc. Given his megalomania....

He wouldn’t care if it was his family either. He has no soul.

For the visual learners, I made this chart. 4197 mass shootings since 2018 4 transgender = 0.095 percent 4193 cisgender = 99.905 percent

and the 99% are also white heterosexual "Christian" males.

And look at this shit

He's the same guy who pretended to be a black woman, right down to cartoonish attempts to "talk black" but forgot to log out of his main and into his sock account.

Well that’s just demeaning.

It’s just like magats going online pretending to be Dems.

No way🤦🏽! Wow! There is no low they’ll stoop to.

There's no such thing as cis, as people aren't a subset of people. So your chart needs work.

Then why do you have a name, if people aren't a subset of people? Cis means "same side of," nothing more. Look, either you're going to have to grow up and accept that the world doesn't conform to your ignorance, or you can fade from relevance. Frankly, it's not my chart that needs work.

If you take out the mass shootings that are gang related the number amongst the general population goes way way down

Damn lies and statistics. But the percentage of people who are transgender is very small. Around 1%. Even using these highly suspected inflated numbers of 4,193 with an expanded definition of what a mass shooting is. The percentages of mass shooters that are trans or not are about the same

Using these numbers, the percentage of mass shooters who are transgender is much lower than their percentage of the population. But let’s say the numbers are inflated and 1% of mass shooters are transgender. Now it’s proportional, and it’s almost like transgender people are just like everyone else…

Now consider the type of"mass shooting" we are talking about. Not transgender gangbangers in inner city Chicago. The transgender shooters are shooting strangers, children sometimes. If you had to

Eliminate that type of mass shooting from the statistics and just include general population where somebody sits in the clock Tower... These percentages are much different

So the thing about these statistics is that it all depends on how you define a mass shooting. Some agencies define it by the number of wounded, some the number dead, and some involved when the shooting started. But as long as both numbers come from the same dataset - then it's a valid comparison.

And they're also leaving out that this transgender shooter was hardcore MAGA, just like the El Paso Wal Mart shooter.

Yeah part of the culture of the mass shootings is right wing hate and grievance media. See, back with the Texas Tower shooting in the '60s there was a tumor pressing on that guy's amygdala. Fox News came along and said well what if we rhetorically press on people's amygdala all day long? 🤷‍♀️

Well said

It helps.

👊

It's a wonder that there isn't a lot more violence from those who are transgender considering the atmosphere of hate and disgust created by Trump/MAGA towards them. They are treated as 2nd class humans and could explode at any time.

I’ve been out as my true self for almost 30 years. I greet everyone with a smile. But if I’m attacked like I was in front of my daughter, I’ll fk a bigot up.

Wish you the best! There are millions of us who completely support you in your life choices and disgusted by the bigotry fostered by Trump.

🏳️‍⚧️💙🏳️‍⚧️. it’s heartbreaking the amount of hate he let loose in this country aimed at immigrants, people of color, women and trans people. His first day in office, he ordered all fed agencies to stop recognizing the existence of trans people. Can you imagine terrible that feels?

how terrible….. He emboldened bigots/republikkkans to show their true racist, fascist colors. After the nazis burned the books, they murdered more than half the people there. Most were trans. The rest were sent to concentration camps where they were forced to undergo inhumane barbaric surgeries.

I know... the rise in fascism and the demise of democracy is deeply disturbing. Our country is at a crossroads, and the next 2 national elections will be pivotal.

I’m terrified because I don’t think they’ll allow elections. They have the wh, majorities in both houses and the maga infested skkkotus. Why would they take the chance of being voted out?

Yes... so true, so sad and so awful. 😞

Every single shooter has some characteristic that can be pointed to so that they can avoid stating the obvious: it's the gun, stupid!

That's almost certainly to be under-representation of the trans population (maybe 0.5% to 1%) in that disturbing statistic, ie trans people are less likely to shoot others (0.1% of the total).

Now I want a breakdown of men and women in the 4193.

just shows how numbers can be used badly... what's the number of trabs versus non-trans? My point isn't anything about trans people, but that you need to make a valid point. This use of dara is very similar tobthe GOP all red maps

You mean they were white males? Just say it

I love how people are always stereotyped and profiled when they belong to a minority but we never decide we need to get rid of all white hetero males who commit the majority of mass shootings.

Now do the amount who were white.

Facts matter.

It’s not even statistically significant, but of course MAGA is clueless what that means 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sadly republicans are so desperate to champion their killing machines that this stat doesn't matter. They will blame anything and everything under the sun except he actual cause which is gun laws. Really disgusting people we have in this country.

not sure 4 is even the roight number more like 2

Mass shooters: white males

Thank you

Chairman Cow and his propaganda sows do not care.👹👹👹 They are evil.

< 0.1% …that’s much lower than estimates of 0.8% - 0.95% who identify as transgender in the US (Williams Institute & USAFacts)

Yet the MAGA, F’elons, far right white nationalist want ppl to think transgender folks are the deranged killers! But in fact, the real societal problems exists with the abused ppl praising 🍊🤡 as savior AND the online indoctrination of domestic terrorists thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/authoritaria...

The GOP is always looking for an excuse to do nothing while children are blown to chunks by military assault weapons. It’s the guns, stupid.

Americans were massaged by the right for years to believe that the 2nd Amendment was NOT written to give local populations the right to arm a protective militia with muskets. And when there was enough support for that, SCOUUS came in and decreed that any drooling psycho had the "right" to buy a gun

(... or "SCOTUS" even😞)

4,193!!!???

UK's last school shooting was Dunblane in 1996, most weapons were then banned... 29 years, no school shootings...

How many were maga

Sometimes you have to put things in perspective for people…🤷🏻‍♀️

I think both numbers are about double actual numbers.

Finally someone said it. They don't say diddly about the nazis, incels, white sups, groypers, confederate losers or xenophobes. All to deflect. In the words of scholarly Tim Birch Society, #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles dadgum it!
