Dear @SenatorCollins - I'll tell you why I waited to report a coworker who touched me inappropriately, and why reports of harassment and assault can have "odd timing". 1/12 #MeToo #Kavanaugh
At an event for a coworker who was leaving the company, I was chatting with a married male coworker. Suddenly his hand was up the back of my blouse, almost touching my bra.

I froze in shock for a second, then backed away, stammering "What are you doing?" 2/12 #TuesdayThoughts
He smiled and said "nothing". I walked away and joined some other coworkers. He stayed away from me after that.

I told my boyfriend about it, but decided not to report to HR for several reasons. 3/12 #RoyMoore

1. I remember when you angry #Trumpkins stormed into #Republican Party; called #Conservatives “cucks”, “leftists”, “Killary voters”, “libtards”. You idolized #Trump in a cultic way. You fraternized with alt right #racists. You winked at #sexism. ->

2. You said #Conservative principles didn’t really matter, though you really couldn’t tell us what #Conservatism means. Of course, your leader didn’t know either; his attempts to articulate it were painful. You mocked our efforts to explain. ->

#ConservativeWithoutAParty
3. #Trump wild swings of rhetoric, positions, moods didn’t bother any of you. Whatever Trump said last was best & most true, no matter the word salad in which it was presented. His blatant self-contradictions were obvious to all but to you. ->

1/x Folks, a few thoughts on the extraordinary turnout among black voters in last night's #ALSEN special election and about how much greater it could have been.
2/x My client, Scott Douglas, wrote a brilliant op-ed about the problems with AL's discriminatory voter ID law in the NY Times yesterday: nytimes.com/2017/12/11/opi…
3/x Here are the numbers on the photo ID law:118,000 registered Alabama voters do not have a photo ID they can use to vote; Black and Latino voters are about twice as likely as white voters to not have ID.

Last night's #ALSEN election was decided by under 21,000 votes

1.) If you had any doubts about @MooreSenate his later accuser just erased them all. The inscription written in her yearbook says she went on date with Roy S. Moore on 3-4-81.
2.) Look at all the other inscriptions. She didn't use middle initials on any of the other boys she dated. That's one red flag, but not the most damning. Look closer.
3.) The date above says June 13 1981. The date to left is partially covered and says she saw the movie Theif on xx-28-81. The movie Thief was not released in theaters until 3-27-81. Both of these dates were after the 3-4-81 Moore date.

Vote “#Caging” Gets legal? RNC Asks Court To Lift Consent Decree That Blocked #JimCrow Voter Purge Scam gregpalast.com/caging-gets-le… #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud #Resist
Here’s an excerpt from a memo filed on November 5th, 2016 by the presiding US District Judge, John Michael Vazquez, which provides some background on the case electionlawblog.org/wp-content/upl… #Resist #Caging #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud
The Decree was modified and extended twice, in 1987 and 2009, but it's set to expire on December 17, 2017 — unless, as per Vazquez’s memo, “the DNC proved in the interim that the RNC violated the Decree, in which case the Decree would be extended an additional eight years.”

Very useful for responding to the "innocent until proven guilty" charge GOPPERS use in attempts to discredit those who say Moore is guilty. Saves you a bit of typing.

The full phrase, "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law," is a legal construct that applies to judges and juries, who must be impartial to warrant due process.

MORE⬇️
The abbreviated phrase, "innocent until proven guilty," has been satisfied by the evidence provided by the diligence of the WaPo reporter.

WHEN presented in a court of law, it is sufficient to prove guilt. The fact it hasn't YET been presented in a courtroom is irrelevant.

Those of us who covered the Ken Starr investigation of Bill Clinton can attest to that issue being fully addressed in detail for several years.
No one gave Bill Clinton a pass on Paula Jones.
Pretending he's the only one is what galls most thinking women.
If men like @chrislhayes want to take an HONEST look at sexual assault of women, let's do this: look at your friends, guys, because it's not just one man sexually assaulting ONE IN FOUR American women.
If male pundits--esp those who've been working with men now revealed to be sexual predators like Mark Halperin, Mark Oreskes, Leon Wieseltier, Sam Kriss, etc--want to address sexual assault then CALL OUT YOUR COLLEAGUES.

Stop putting the onus on women.

About #RoyMoore, accused of the sexual abuse, or sexual harassment, of minors, and who has been likened by some supporters to Mary and Joseph, because Mary was a teenager and Joseph an adult, and whose brother has just compared him to Jesus. Let me say this... /1
First, sexual abuse is a crime. Any comparison between the loving relationship that existed between Mary and Joseph and sexual abuse, or sexual harassment, is monstrous, even blasphemous. /2
Second, despite the familiar artistic representations, we have no idea of the ages of Mary and Joseph at the time of their betrothal and marriage. The Gospels do not specify this, other than to call Mary a "parthenon" (in Greek, either a young woman or a virgin). /3

Someone ask Sean Hannity what he thinks about “child marriage” in a Muslim country and you’ll see what he thinks about “consent.”
And they’re using Jesus and religion to defend #RoyMoore. I call them the Christian Brotherhood (to connect them to Muslim Brotherhood) for a reason wapo.st/2jfaE9s
All these predatory right wing shits and their supporters constantly go on about Muslim men this and Muslim men that and “your prophet was a pedophile.” Projection so powerful.

🗣️HEY!
We need to talk abt #RoyMoore "#Romanticallypursuing" a 14 year old.
There's a name for that it's called #grooming.
It's not romantic it's an #abuserdynamic #NoMoore #Thread
4 women have come forward to accuse Roy Moore of grooming and at the very least statutory raping them.
What are AL GOP members already doing? Well beside victimblaming they are trying to use the BIBLE to justify abusing teens.
Ask me again why women in the bible belt would wait 20 years to tell?
