I was the victim of sexual assault.
I was young & afraid I'd be fired from my first staff gig because my assaulter kept threatening me that I was doing a terrible job. Years later I realized his threats were to keep me quiet. I was good.
#WhyDidntIReport #BelieveSurvivors #MeToo
What is so insidious is for years I believed I deserved to be fired. I perpetuated the lie. Like "Haha. I was SO bad on my first gig." I felt like a fraud. It's a persistent internalized convo that erodes self confidence & sows doubts in our abilities which is most damaging.
It wasn't until years later, because other people kept telling me I was a good writer that I finally believed it myself. Until then with each progressive success I always feared I would be exposed as a "fraud". The lingering damage lasts long after the assault. #BelieveSurvivors

THREAD 1.Soros has long been hate figure for Putinites & nationalists like Trump. #NeverTrumper Louise Mensch pushed the same antisemitic trope. Watch at 4:18 Louise on FOX. “We were lined up to join the Euro & we were bounced out of it by George Soros”

2. Brexiteers like Trump repeatedly blame Soros a wealthy Jew for their problems. #NeverTrump Mensch at 1:12: “Soros--As a Greek American he should look at the disaster in Greece.” Louise knows Soros is NOT Greek but a Jewish Hungarian Holocaust survivor video.foxbusiness.com/v/484438137100…
3. 3rd time #NeverTrumper Louise Mensch takes a dig at Soros on FoxNews. At 1:18 “The pound was shorted by George Soros” Louise promulgated the Brexiteer's antisemitic myth of “the Soros web” while reinforcing it on Trump's station FoxNews here in the US.

1. #NeverTrumper Rick Wilson likes to use the expression "I like the cut of your jib..." The term was being used figuratively used to express like or dislike for someone like... Pompeo in 2015.... or
2. #NeverTrumper Rick Wilson 'liked the cut of Rep Ron Desantis' jib" Ron spoke at an event hosted by a White Race Theorist and was administrator on a racist Facebook page.... or..
3. #NeverTrumper Rick Wilson likes the cut of Tom Marino's jib. Marino's career is clouded with corruption charges. He gave an earlier endorsement to Trump and denied Trump was racist. Marino himself is a nativist and opposes a pathway for citizenship for illegal immigrants.. or

Darn I missed this... I have SO many questions...
1. Who is Rick going to work to elect in the FL GOV's race. Servile racist Trump GOP sycophant DeSantis or Democrat Gillum. If it's DeSantis then EVERYTHING Rick and his #NeverTrump posse has touted for two years is utter BS.
2. In 2005 Rick worked on virulent bigot and legal architect of Trumps anti immigrant voter laws. Rick Wilson endorsed Kobach's voter ID law proposals in 2011. Is Rick still a fan of "strong conservatives" aka: racists Kris Kobach and Sam Brownback?
3. Rick Wilson has used the word "illegals" for years to describe undocumented immigrants . Is Rick Wilson aware that illegals is a racist and derogatory term and that when he uses this Trumpian term it perpetuates negative stereotypes against Latinos?

1. Remember how those #TeamPatriot #NeverTrump-ers Louise Mensch and Rick Wilson assured us Bolton was a solid? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2. Just this last March Rick Wilson was defending Bolton. According to Rick Bolton is fine as long as he is working with a "rational president."
3. Louise Mensch enthusiastically endorsed Bolton on her NewsCorp platform HeatStreet. Like Rebekah Mercer Louise wanted "heavyweight" Bolton to be named Secretary of State.

1. 🔥 Louise Mensch & Rick Wilson personally vouched for this fraud. "Information War Expert" Molly McKew also legitimized it. #TeamPatriot are insidious liars deliberately weaponizing frauds to poison the truth & to spread disinformation. How many others? thedailybeast.com/resistance-twi…
2. Here are the blue-checked #TeamPatriot leaders Louise Mensch, Rick Wilson & Molly McKew validating Guardian Rover. They trotted GR out to the #Resistance as a valuable source when in fact he's a pro Trump gamer. When Louise "turned on him" she further corrupted the truth.
3. You are smart & intuitive my fellow #resistance peeps. Use your critical thinking skills. Make objective analyses & evaluation of people you follow. Be your own leader. Don't fall for intel hawkers poisoning the truth because truth is the foundation for successful resistance

"Who told you to have faith in McConnell?" Rick Wilson that's who.
Wake up Wilson fanboys/girls. He opposes Trump, not his vile policies or the GOP congress. He's long been part of the machine that has put the politicians at the core of this atrocity into office. #NeverTrump 🙄
"While Obama's a** is on fire why wouldn't we distract ourselves by turning Mitch McConnell into greatest monster?" asks RW political strategist Rick Wilson in 2013. Y'all can thank Rick who helped create the Mitch monster to enact the corrupt GOP's hateful policies. #NeverTrump
Nov 5. 2014 GOP takes back the Senate. "McConnell is this close to Maximum trolling achievement." cheers Rick Wilson who helped unleash McConnell one of the biggest GOP "trolls' to inflict terrible harm on the American people. #NeverTrump
