Something very important is happening. Since Dr. Christine Blasey Ford so bravely came forward to tell her story of assault at the hands of Brett #Kavanaugh, many #RhodeIsland women have written me to share their own personal stories of survival.
I get mail every day about the various policies debated in Congress. But I have never had mail like this. This is bigger than the fight over a court nomination.
I’ve heard from women of different ages and backgrounds, some who have held their secrets for years. Those I quote have given me permission, even encouraged me, to share their words. For privacy, their names and other identifying information has been removed.
Dear @SenWhitehouse
You’re a former AG since when are allegations referred to the PRESS and not the @senjudiciary investigators what a joke. 48 hrs later your precious constituent recanted. All good @FBI is investigating the false claim now. #ConfirmKavanaugh #WakeUpRI

Furthermore you seem transfixed on investigating Kavanaugh’s “penchant for drunkenness” in fact at the hearing you seemed horrified that teenagers would be drinking, which is rich considering your own son is confirmed drunk. #ConfimKavanaugh
Don’t care how blue #RhodeIsland is the State deserves anyone less phony and condescending than #SheldonWhitehouse not everyone can have mommy and daddy clean up our messes. #VoteDemsOut
Since we are now discussing #RhodeIsland, #eliteprepschools, #religion, #abuseallegations and #highschoolbehaviors, seems #StGeorges, provides a telling example of the culture often prevalent among some prominent prep schools. vanityfair.com/news/2016/07/s…
2/ #StGeorge’s, an elite boarding school in #RhodeIsland, has been engulfed by a scandal over alleged sexual abuse spanning decades, with at least 40 alleged victims and a dozen alleged staff and student perpetrators.
3/ “Across the archipelago of #prepschools clustered mainly in the northeastern US, a truth-and-reconciliation process is fitfully unfolding as school after school sends letters to alumni acknowledging past abuse and asking if they, too, were abused.”

Democrats, I am going to try to warn you again about the Wolf PAC. If you’ve ever heard the expression “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” you know that this can be dangerous. The Wolf PAC = Young Turks (on youtube). #NoConCon
Young Turks are posing as progressive Democrats and there are many indications that they are not what they seem to be. Here’s an article that says they helped Trump get elected:
huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-the-…
huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-the-…
The Young Turks claim to be the Breitbart of the left, but honest:
Wolf PAC claims to be nonpartisan. This is confusing. But not really.

1/ Inspired by @bobplain, here is an #OTD in #RhodeIsland history: On this day, December 19th, in 1675, a major battle in #KingPhilipsWar took place known as the #GreatSwampMassacre. This fight topped any previous brutality by English soldiers in colonial wars...
2/ ...prior like #PequotWar & #KieftsWar. Formally neutral in the war in early 1675, the #NarragansettIndians' territory had served as a safe haven 4 wounded #NativeAmerican, mostly #Wampanoag, soldiers fighting in the conflict. The #UnitedColonies...
3/ ...(aka #MassachusettsBay, @Plimoth, #Connecticut & #NewHaven) demanded the #NarragansettIndians turn over these combatants, but the natives delayed any formal response. John Easton, in his "A Relation of the Indian Warr" wrote that soon after this refusal...
