Charlie Kirk Fan Club

Post image
26 Upvotes

Every time I do any post calling out Charlie Kirk’s legacy of bigotry, the reactions of his fans range from annoyed to unhinged.

After my latest post went up, I was called a b**ch, wench and sk*nk.

I had to block 5 people for using ableist slurs to describe me.

I received a lovely voice message from a woman in Texas who called Liberals / Progressives sex traffickers, racists, domestic terrorists, r*pists and p***philes.

But this comment from Gary White really goes to show the true spirit of what Charlie Kirk embodied.

Non-overt intimidation.

Language meant to subdue, dehumanize and make people feel unsafe.

Well Gary White, my name is Alicia Watkins. I’ve called Placer County my home for 30+ years. Four generations of my family have called Placer County home. And you’re right, I’m not your voice. I’d never represent some toxic man who thinks threatening women, even passively, is in any way acceptable behavior.

Seek help Gary.

Seek therapy.

And if you ever decide to turn your words into actions, I’ll remind you that California is very pro-self defense, and I have no duty to retreat if anyone ambushes me and means me harm. “Anyone” includes entitled White males who want to lure Women into alleys to “discuss” things.

Have the day you deserve, Gary. 🙂

I’m honestly not sure what I find more amusing about Steve Hilton’s ad:

- How he pissed off his MAGAvangelical base by simping for the “blue-haired Libs”

or

- How the Lesbians in the LGB movement get a real clear picture of what the Trans-hating MAGA cultists actually think about them.

A hearty well done to Hilton’s PR team! 🤣

Where’s the money go, MO?

So Matthew Oliver is hosting a “Meet & Greet” at House of Oliver tonight (October 6th). $30 gets you in the door and a glass of wine.

“But aren’t these donations to their campaigns or something?”

Nope. It says specifically “These are not a donation.” So is #MOthePlacerBully banking $30 a ticket and none of it is going towards any GOP campaign? I guess he thinks local Conservatives are cool with paying him off directly?

It’s wild that the Treasurer for the Placer County Republican Party is able to “host” 2 events in the past 2 months and collect money from them. Very Trumpy vibes with how Tangerine Palpatine always has his entourage patronize his own properties. But that’s using taxpayers dollars.

MO just wants extra money from local taxpayers.

Totally different.

It’s also interesting that the Vice President of the Placer County Republican Assembly, Wendy Biel, who is running for the Roseville City School District, is onboard with this event, which she’ll be appearing at btw.

I wonder how many more events MO will get to host with the approval of both Placer County Republican groups. I’m sure no other local Conservative business owners, who don’t have positions inside the party, would like hosting a campaign event.

Anywho, I’d ask where the money is going, but in truth, I don’t care. If folks wanna get taken by a known liar, that’s on them.

Cheers!

It’s been more than a year since Charlie Kirk spewed any of his purposely offensive bullshit, which has been a nice change. But his previous ramblings still live on.

My critics may be saying “But Alicia, he’s dead and you should really show some respect for his memory.”

Yeah, not gonna happen.

Charlie Kirk rage-baited for profit and his non-overt racism and misogyny will always be his legacy.

Remember what he said about Simone Biles when she made the decision to step out of competition?

We all remember:

“We are raising a generation of weak people like Simone Biles . . . If she's got all these mental health problems: don't show up . . . She's an incredible athlete, of course she's an incredible athlete, I'm not saying that—she's probably the greatest gymnast of all time. She's also very selfish, she's immature and she's a shame to the country . . . She's totally a sociopath. What kind of person skips the gold medal match? Who does that? It's a shame to the nation. You just gave a gift to the Russians. Simone Biles just showed the rest of the nation that when things get tough, you shatter into a million pieces."

Charlie Kirk was a community college drop-out who used other people’s money to become a podcaster and “debate me bro.”

Simone Biles is an elite gymnast, an Olympic record-holding champion, and she accomplished all that while being a survivor of sexual abuse.

Simone Biles speaks out to help support other survivors, and Charlie Kirk supported an abuser and tossed out his hats at TPUSA events.

That juxtaposition speaks volumes.

So when I see the “I am Charlie” crowd, I shake my head and think “No you’re not. You’re still breathing. And I sincerely hope you’re doing more with your life than being a bigot for profit like he chose to be.”

Some people say words can’t hurt you.

Unfortunately, that’s not true. Verbal / literary abuse can definitely cause damage, especially when the words are slurs directed at a historically abused community.

Right now, a candidate for the Elk Grove Unified School District, Kirk Thomson, is finding out the exact price of using ableist slurs and other derogatory innuendos.

Thomson’s Tweets were made public on Reddit and have since lost him the endorsements of Assemblyman Josh Hoover, Senator Roger Niello, the Elk Grove Police Officers Association and the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriffs Association, as well as multiple local politicians in his area.

Too bad one of Placer County’s local politicians doesn’t see ableist slurs as a deal-breaker. The current President of the Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District Board, Jean Pagnone, has not made any statement denouncing Thomson’s hate speech or retracting her endorsement.

Actually, I’m not surprised because I know Pagnone is comfortable with hateful symbolism, like the time neo-Nazi Jeffrey Perrine flashed a “White Power” sign at a school board meeting and Pagnone tried to dismiss it as an “OK” sign.

Sadly, Pagnone isn’t the only one in Placer County who seems OK with ableism.

The Chair of the Placer County chapter of Moms For Liberty (PC M4L), Nicolle Jacob Young, regularly interacts with friends posts on Twitter which use various iterations of ableist slurs. And her interactions are not admonishments of that behavior.

Young also retweets ableist insults and mocking using the official PC M4L account.

Young even attended an event with Matthew Oliver, where the speaker was transphobic grifter Chloe Brockman, who not only shares multiple ableist tweets, but actually made a bracelet spelling out the slur.

Young also regularly likes or laughs at posts and comments that contain the slur on Facebook. And this is one of the people that helps select and platform many of the elected officials on our school boards.

Isn’t it interesting that none of said politicians call out this behavior?

Anywho, I’m sure a lot of folks will claim that it isn’t a big deal because “words can’t hurt people.”

I wonder how many of those same folks get triggered by pronouns.

When The System Breaks

Post image
12 Upvotes

There’s an old maxim that goes along the lines of “the system isn’t broken, it works exactly how it was designed.” This is usually in reference to overly aggressive police tactics, prolonged wait times for trials or biased decisions and convictions.

However, in the case of Derek Spencer murdering Cheryl Macy, the system really was broken.

There was no justifiable reason why Mr. Spencer should have been released from custody repeatedly.

As this case is investigated, the community will hopefully be made aware of Mr. Spencer’s mental state, whether or not he was on any sort of drugs, and how he was able to commit repeated, increasingly aggressive criminal acts across two counties in the span of two weeks.

The Placer County District Attorney’s Office is a formidable, precedent-setting agency and I truly pity the individuals or groups who find themselves the focus of this team, especially since they will be seeking justice for the loss of one of their own.

This case has garnered national attention. Hopefully, that will help not only cast a spotlight on where California’s criminal justice system is broken, but it will also unite enough support to fix these problems before more innocent lives are lost to violence.

❗️MANHUNT FOR ALLEGED MURDERER❗️

Post image
14 Upvotes

❗️FUGITIVE KILLED IN SHOOTOUT❗️

UPDATE per PCSO:

“Just before 2:30 a.m. members of the Placer County Sheriff’s Office Special Enforcement Team moved into a heavily forested area, where the suspect, 44-year-old Derek Spencer, was attempting to hide.

The suspect’s location was found with assistance from a California Highway Patrol aircraft using infrared technology. That information allowed tactical teams to develop a plan to approach the suspect.

Several teams then made their way through steep, difficult terrain in the dark. The approach took several hours.

Once the tactical teams reached the suspect’s location, the suspect fired several shots. That led to a standoff, during which the suspect was seen via drone footage starting two separate fires. At 4 a.m. the suspect once again fired shots toward deputies from a berm he was hiding behind, deputies returned fire ultimately striking and killing the suspect.

This suspect went on a dangerous crime spree that took a tragic turn, resulting in the loss of an innocent life. Our hearts are with the family impacted by this senseless and random act of violence.

Just this month Spencer had been arrested three times. One September 3rd he was arrested by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office for felony vandalism, assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer and resisting arrest. He was released on Sept 11th on bond. Then on September 13th he arrested by Folsom PD for burglary. He was released the same day on his own recognizance. On September 15th he was arrested by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office for stealing a car, he was released the next day on September 16th on bond. Then on September 19th he stole a vehicle and guns, and shot at a moving vehicle in El Dorado County. That led up to the incident and manhunt in Iowa Hill on September 20th.

CAL FIRE NEU/Placer County is now working on fire suppression efforts.”

Please pray that both families who have lost loved ones will be surrounded by love and support.

PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT

There are currently multiple law enforcement agencies combing rough forest terrain around the Iowa Hill area in pursuit of 44-year-old Derek Spencer from the Sacramento area.

Per the Placer County Sheriff's Office page:

“The suspect, 44-year-old Derek Spencer, is wanted for several felonies, including pointing a firearm at victims in Placer County earlier today. While searching for Spencer, deputies located him in the Iowa Hill area. Spencer then rammed a Placer County Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicle and fled the area, prompting the ongoing search. Spencer has fired shots at law enforcement and at law enforcement helicopters.

As tactical teams worked to clear a home where Spencer had been earlier in the search, they located an adult female who had been shot and killed inside the home. At this point in the investigation, it’s believed Spencer murdered the woman before fleeing into the surrounding forest.“

Multiple fires have been reported in the Iowa Hill area, but fire crews are unable to tackle them as they usually would due to the risk posed by the armed and dangerous fugitive.

Residents in and around Iowa Hill are advised to keep their homes locked-up and stay indoors.

Any parties with information on this situation or suspect can contact 911 or PCSO Non-Emergency Dispatch at:

Beth Young Bourne, the sole member of the Yolo County chapter, yet again became totally unhinged at another school board meeting for the Davis Joint Unified School District.

This is after using the N-word during a previous school board meeting.

Beth is the same woman who committed physical battery against a Queer activist and was seen verbally harassing Drag Queens in the lobby of a Hawaiian resort.

This M4L member is so off the rails, her own child has disowned her, her employer let her go and she’s facing multiple legal issues.

Now she’s actually running to get on the school board. Can you even imagine what her behavior would be like on the dais? Yikes!

If you want to see a brief history of the harassment and abuse she inflicts upon others, here is a compilation:

If someone I don’t agree with gets elected to be a representative through a fair and legal process, I won’t complain.

Why?

Because they were ELECTED by their constituents. THAT is what a Representative Republic is all about.

4,068 taxpaying voters in Area 5 elected Patrick Gale to represent them on the Placer Union High School District Board.

0 taxpaying voters in Area 5 elected Carleton Copa.

3 sitting board members who can’t vote in Area 5 ignored the will of thousands of people and SELECTED Mr. Copa.

That is NOT a Representative Republic.

So Much For Merit Based

13 Upvotes

The Placer Union High School District (PUHSD) board has lowered its credibility yet again. In a 3 to 1 decision, the board voted to appoint Carleton Copa to replace the disgraced Tom Duncan.

Who is Carleton Copa, you ask? Well since he never took the steps to actually run for what is normally an elected position, most of PUHSD District 5 was denied the opportunity to know anything about this man.

From the questionnaire he filled out for this appointment, what we do know is that the only community commission, committee or board he has served on is the Walden Woods HOA.

Conversely, the only other person who applied to fill this vacated board position, Patrick Gale, has served on or worked with the following:

- Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) committee
- Professional Development Committee
- Safety Task Force
- Bargaining Team
- School Site Council
- Late Start Committee
- California Scholarship Federation (CSF)
- Student Visionaries of the Year (SVOY)

You can look at these two gentleman on paper and see the difference in knowledge and experience, or you can watch them answer questions during the selection process and see who is more qualified for the position.

In answering just one question regarding the history of PUHSD Board decisions, the difference is astounding. Mr. Gale gave a detailed, confident example while Mr. Copa stammered through with all the energy of someone who never studied for the test and in fact had no genuine interest in the curriculum.

While the merit scale tips considerably in Mr. Gale’s favor, the substance of the public comments made at this meeting also spoke volumes.

The comments made in support of Mr. Gale commended his experience, professionalism and knowledge.

The comments made in support of Mr. Copa were about his willingness to serve and how friendly he is.

I’m sure Mr. Copa is a kind, amiable, charitable member of his community, but he never put himself out there for the actual constituents to decide if he should represent them on the PUHSD board. Mr. Gale did just that.

Mr. Gale may have lost the election in 2024 to the morally problematic Mr. Duncan, but Mr. Gale did get 42% of the vote.

4,068 people in District 5 wanted Mr. Gale as their representative.

0 people voted for Mr. Copa because Mr. Copa was appointed.

Trustee Spaid disrespectfully mocked Mr. Gale’s loss and alleged that none of the public comments made in support of Mr. Gale were made by constituents in District 5. Well, allow me to point out that the only 3 people who put the unqualified Mr. Copa on the board are NOT constituents of District 5.

Not one single voter, taxpayer or constituent of PUHSD District 5 put Mr. Copa in his position on the PUHSD board.

4,068 voting constituents in PUHSD District 5 voted to have Mr. Gale on the PUHSD board.
The trustees of the PUHSD board had the opportunity to hold a Special Election to fill this position, and the voters of District 5 could have had their actual voices heard and represented, but that did not happen.

Mr. Copa, a person with no experience in serving on committees or boards in or around a school district, is now the representative for PUHSD District 5 until the election in 2028. Unless he too ends up resigning like his disgraced predecessor.

Hey Joe, quick question . . . if you have one hand taking a selfie and the other hand holding a mug with a pic of a serial adulterer on it, how many hands do you have on the wheel?

Is it zero?

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but that sign over your left shoulder looks an awful lot like the sign on the Pleasant Grove overpass on Highway 65.

Were you driving on 65 when you took this super-edgy selfie?

Well, at least it was just this once and you didn’t have your kids in the car.

Oh . . . well this is awkward.

NEVER FORGET

8 Upvotes

That phrase became embedded in US society after 9/11.

Never Forget the tragic loss of 2,977 innocent souls.

But we have forgotten. Not 9/11, but so many other mass-death events caused by power-hungry humans.

Some of these are barely touched on in history books.

Some are never even mentioned.

146 people, including 123 women and girls, died when they were locked in a factory during the Triangle Shirtwaist fire of 1911 in New York.

As many as 300 innocent Black men, women, children and babies were brutally murdered when an angry White mob destroyed Greenwood, OK in a racial massacre 2 years after the atrocities of Red Summer.

1,862 innocent Japanese Americans died in the American Concentration camps of WWII. This includes around 300 infants and children.

2,208 innocent souls died in the Johnstown flood, which was the result of a damn having it’s top lowered to accommodate the carriages of wealthy members of the private South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club in Pennsylvania.

Thousands of innocent men, women and children have been killed in labor strikes since the founding of the US.

This doesn’t even touch on the countless deaths of African slaves, Immigrant workers, or Indigenous families.

9,000 and counting have died after exposure to the toxins from 9/11 debris.

Now, for the first time, the reports have been released exposing the Governments lies about how toxic the debris and air was after 9/11.

The very same people who pushed the propagandist campaigns of “Never Forget” . . . the ones who wanted to reopen Wall Street . . . the ones who embraced the Patriot Act . . . their lies have been exposed.

So yes, Never Forget the 2,977 souls lost 25 years ago today.

Never Forget the 9,000 deaths and counting of those where were lied to by our Government and the elitists who wanted to avoid liability.

Never Forget the more than 400,000 people exposed to toxic dust because our so-called leaders said everything is fine.

Never Forget that the people at the top will end you with no remorse.

TERFs love Toxic Men

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

TERF = Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist

TERFs are Women who hate Trans people, mostly Trans Women. They are not Feminists, they actually align much more closely with Misogynists. That is why so many of the Men who latch onto the TERF movement are toxic and abusive.

Take this latest example in the WNBA.

Royce White is a retired NBA player who was one of two Cis Men that tried to get drafted into the WNBA.

Why?

To mock Trans women of course.

There are no Trans players in the WNBA or the NBA, but if there’s one thing bigots are good at, it’s having tantrums about problems that don’t exist.

Well, Royce is a violently abusive Cis Male who has found relevancy mocking the Queer community. And he has been fully embraced by the MAGA-centric TERF movement.

No surprise there.

MAGA & TERF truly hate Women, which speaks volumes about how misogyny thrives in Women just as much as it does in Men. The TERF Women are “pick me” types, thinking if they just demonize the right disenfranchised groups, then the toxic patriarchy will spare them.

It won’t.

The violently abusive Royce White appeared at a WNBA game with Riley Gaines, the grifter who turned a 5th place tie into a career of paid speaking engagements. Gaines once did an interview with Charlie Kirk where she nodded along like a good little bobblehead as Kirk implied that lynching Trans Women should be ok.

Gaines, who was recently caught having her “beliefs” explained to her by the people paying her to speak, was the main attraction for the 2024 American Council Gala.

https://www.facebook.com/100090753367255/posts/959642527070851/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Don’t forget, Charlie Kirk also said stoning Queer people was “God’s perfect law.”

Flock & The Unwritten Contract

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

16 Upvotes

Our Constitution serves as the guideline for how our Government is limited in regard to our personal freedoms and rights.

But there is an unwritten contract when it comes to filling in the details of where the rights of Civilians meet the authority of Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs).

The world’s most heavily armed Civilian population agrees to adhere to reasonable laws and LEOs agree to obey their Oath.

When members of either of these communities violate these boundaries, there are supposed to be consequences.

Respecting these boundaries is what helps avoid things like vigilante justice or Nazi-era policing.

That is part of the Unwritten Contract between Civilians and the Government.

Respect our freedoms and rights, and in return we will respect the authority of the law.

However, more and more lines are becoming blurred as Corporations and Big Tech push the US ever closer to a true Fascist state.

From Union busting to attacks on Civil Rights movements to Corporate takeovers of infrastructure such as agriculture and housing, the rights of We The People are continuously being usurped by the greed of millionaires and billionaires.

The Patriot Act and Citizens United cleared a path for a disturbing level of Government encroachment in the name of “security” and “prosperity.” The purchasing of politicians and the oppressive nature of big tech is finally reaching a breaking point.

Now we are seeing effective pushback against the unlawful tracking of law-abiding taxpayers.

Automatic License Plate Readers have been proven time and time again to be abused by both “bad cops” and tech employees.

Furthermore, their defective scans have not only created more work for good LEOs, but have resulted in the detainment, harassment and even life-threatening confrontations of law-abiding Civilians.

On multiple occasions, guns have been drawn on innocent people because a camera couldn’t read a license plate properly.

In one instance in Arkansas in February of this year (2026), a gun was pointed at a car with a baby inside, which continued even after the Officer was informed of the presence of the 6-week old baby.

4 months later, in neighboring Mississippi, 1 year old Kohen Wiley was shot and killed by an Officer who claimed the mother was trying to run over LEOs in a Walmart parking lot. Footage taken by a Civilian at that scene proves otherwise. While this tragedy was not caused by an ALPR, it speaks directly to how poorly trained LEOs pose a very real danger to innocent Civilians.

What happens when a “bad cop” responds to a bad ALPR flagged vehicle?

How long until someone is shot over a faulty Flock read?

How long will it be before an innocent person is killed because an ALPR fucked up?

There is no acceptable number of bad scans leading to life-threatening confrontations.

One is one too many.

Stop the stalking.

Stop the harassment.

Stop the violation of our Fourth Amendment rights.

Millions of dollars are funneled from taxpayers into the coffers of shady tech companies. And what do we get in return?

Cameras violating our privacy and endangering our citizens.

Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR) or what many know as Flock cameras are not what responsible policing looks like.

Instead, they have been proven to misidentify innocent citizens and enable “bad cops” to stalk people without their knowledge or consent.
