Trans activist behind banned Antifa Twitter account says she is ‘proud’ of her calls to violence

>

Heidi Beedle, the transgender journalist who formerly ran the Colorado Springs Antifa Twitter account, has called for violence against those who disagree with her far-left views.

Post Millennial reporter Andy Ngo recently identified Beedle, 38, as the individual behind the Colorado Springs Antifa account, which frequently promoted violence and was discontinued Last week on Twitter.

This week, from his personal account, Beedle publicly called for violence once again.

On December 19, Beedle wrote: ‘Do I support violence? Yeah. Fuck ’em. Remember Unite the Right? This year’s Idaho pride? Q-Club?

Countless examples show that these people can and will harm marginalized people, and the police and the system are not going to stop them.”

Beedle posted the message above a photo of attendees at the infamous Charlottesville Right Unity rally that took place during the summer of 2017.

Heidi Beedle, 38, poses defiantly against an antifa banner as she wrote that she would have to kill her before she would “shut up” about her radical politics and social goals.

After the Colorado Springs antifa Twitter account was unbanned, Beedle posted the above message calling for violence against his political opponents.

After Ngo’s alleged unmasking, Beedle claimed that she “ceased having anything to do” with the Colorado Springs Antifa Twitter account, but labeled a tweet from them calling for violence a “banger.”

On December 20, Beedle wrote: “Ngo’s supporters and a bunch of conservatives are freaking out over the fact that I was ‘antifa’ and uncritically accept Ngo’s claims that I’m behind COS’s Twitter posts. Antifa long after I stopped having any.” do with it

“Those posts are great, really,” Beedle wrote over an image of a tweet that read: “A nationwide recall of all transphobic teeth has been issued.”

“It’s up to each and every one of us to help where we can.”

Closing out her recent thread, Beedle posted a photo of herself against an antifa banner and wrote: “If they want me to shut up they’ll have to kill me.” She supports her local antifa, her local alternative news source, and her local LGBTQ youth center. All of you fascists are doomed to lose.

Beedle, a former teacher, is now a reporter for the Colorado Times Recorder, an alternative newspaper.

In response to his employee’s public promotion of violence, the newspaper tweeted its support for his colleague.

“We stand behind Heidi Beedle’s record of excellent journalism here at the Colorado Times Recorder and elsewhere.

“We are proud to have her as a colleague and friend,” the official account of the outlet tweeted.

The Unite the Right fringe, which took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 11-12, 2017, was a major call-to-arms moment for antifa activists across the country.

Heidi Beedle, a transgender journalist, previously spent eight years in the US Army and time as a teacher before transitioning to become an activist and then a reporter.

Post Millennial journalist Andy Ngo discovered Beedle’s old blogs, in which the former teacher wrote about indoctrinating young students with radical political ideology.

Beedle previously admitted to founding the Anti-Fascists of Colorado Springs profile and blog, which he allegedly gave instructions to fellow believers to attack others.

He previously told DailyMail.com that he has not had access to either account since early 2019 at the latest.

As a teacher, Beedle bragged about indoctrinating her young students with her radical political ideology. In a 2016 blog post, she revealed that a parent of hers complained about her constant “Trump to Hitler comparisons.”

In another post, he wrote that he lent a student a copy of a book with “kinky sex scenes” and “a lot of drug stuff.”

In a 2021 podcast interview, Beedle opened up about joining the anti-fascist movement.

Before transitioning, Beedle says he spent eight years in the military, rising to the rank of sergeant.

She said she came out as trans “about the middle of my educational career,” which “exposed me to a lot of different types of activists.

“While teaching, I got more and more into anti-fascist activism,” he said, adding that “you could call me Antifa.”

“I was really kind of a nerd, doing a lot of research and contributing to a blog and, you know, exposing white supremacists, extremist group types like the Proud Boys,” he said.

“I did that for a couple of years and then, you know, between activism and teaching and living, I just got burned out on everything and quit and walked away from that whole scene.”
