I'm posting a thread of tweets from women who were victims of sexual assault who are bravely speaking out in support of Christine Blasey Ford. #PostponeTheVote #NoKavanaughVote #MeToo
Feel free to add related tweets, but please take a second to scroll thru to be sure it's not already included.
I received the following in a DM, so I'm withholding the name:

"I was abused by my therapist three years ago. Police said there was not enough evidence to convict but believed me. I had emails where he was trying to get me to sleep with other men & take pics. (Continued) 34/
I found another victim with the same story. He continues to practice.

I'M STUNNED. I started this thread last night after seeing some tweets from females who I follow or follow me. Within minutes I tweeted over 30. I stopped because people were literally tweeting them faster than I could keep up. How do you respond to that? I'M SORRY isn't enough😔

🔥URGENT - HAPPENING NOW🔥 Nick Warnell👇🏽JUST shot a Colquitt County deputy sheriff (A close friend of mine) He is in the area between Berlin and Ellenton, Georgia. (Cannon & Tillman rd area) He is ARMED and DANGEROUS. More info as it is available.
I'm at the scene now. This is a VERY rural area. Lots of woods & fields. They've got a perimeter set up & have more help coming. We're hoping that he's still on foot & hasn't stolen a vehicle or caught a ride.
UPDATE: A second deputy was hit by the suspects vehicle. Condition unknown.

This is Glenn Harris. Today is his birthday. Glenn died on May 27, 1974. He was 17 years old. He would have graduated from Colquitt County High School in Moultrie, Georgia on the following Saturday. Glenn was swimming at Reed Bingham State Park that day, when one of the... 1/?
girls, who could NOT swim, waded into a restricted area of the lake where the shallow water suddenly dropped to a depth of 15 feet. Without hesitation and with no regard for his own safety, Glenn jumped in to help. The girl, acting purely out of fear, grabbed Glenn, pinning- 2/?
his arms to his side. He struggled unsuccessfully to free himself until finally; he used his foot to force her off & gave her a final push toward some other people as he was going down. She was pulled out, but Glenn did not come back up.
My dad was the park’s head ranger. 3/?

Lots of folks are joking about #Wouldnt trending, but we should instead use it as a litmus test for true PATRIOTISM in politicians & journalists. It may sound silly, but I’m serious. After the tidal wave of condemnation from Trump's pathetic surrender to Putin, it's obvious...1/5
that his staff searched for anything they could find to spin their way out of the hellhole Trump created and apparently, “wouldn’t” was the best they could do. Of course, anyone who watches the video can tell that it was NOT a mistake. Trump said EXACTLY what he meant. 2/5
Then today, they sat Trump at a table to read a prepared statement to say that he accepted the U.S. intelligence agencies findings; that Russia DID interfere in the 2016 election. But of course, HE COULDN'T DO IT! Watch it for yourselves👇🏽 3/5

THIS IS TERRIBLE. It's something I've warned people about who carry weapons, whether concealed or open. While trying to BREAK UP a fight, Navy vet Jason Washington's gun fell from the holster & when he tried to pick it up he was fatally shot by police.
Most of the time police are dispatched to fight calls, but it's not unusual for cops to happen upon a fight if they're patrolling an area where there are clubs. Its happened to me & every cop I know. These cops had no idea who was who when the gun came out oregonlive.com/portland/index…
This gets even sadder. Washington was coincidentally interviewed as part of a sports segment at a restaurant just a few hours before he was shot.

Hey @PressSec Sanders, You asked "Where are the apologies to Trump?" America wants to know; where are the apologies 👉🏽FROM👈🏽 Trump to NFL players for calling them unpatriotic & sons of bitches; to Gold-Star parents, Khizr & Ghazala Khan for implying that Mrs. Khan was not- 1/
allowed to speak because of their religion, that Mr. Khan's speech was written by someone else, & even worse, that Trump's "sacrifices" of "hard work" was somehow comparable to their son's death; to the leaders & citizens of African nations after he called them "shithole... 2/
countries"; to Mexicans, for implying all are "bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists."; to Haitians, for implying they all "have Aids"; to Latinos for calling them "animals"; to the women of America after he was recorded joking about he enjoyed committing... 3/

Bald eagle rescue in progress. Stand by for video.
This *juvenile bald eagle, too weak to fly, was discovered at a landfill in South Georgia. It was dehydrated & underweight. I’ll post updates here.

*They don’t get the white head until their 4th or 5th year.
The person who actually caught & carried the eagle is Don Gandy, an animal control officer who went through our training course in 2014. The eagle is being transported to Dr. Larry Branch, a vet that specializes in treating raptors. I'll post more video of the evaluation process.
