"Misogyny" is a trigger word for the far right-controlled Republican party. But the ideology is real, and it can lead to people getting killed.

Elliot Rodger

#RespectWomen is a public health and safety issue.
Evidently, my above use of the term misogyny has triggered a few of them.

They're trying to insinuate that Kohberger was a liberal which, even if true, would have nothing to do with the points made in my tweet. We already know several things about him, and his crimes...
Further, when writing the above list of 5 known and/or confirmed misogynists, some of whom have killed at least one woman, I considered a range of factors that put them on that list.

I want to encourage discussion about misogny and the targeting of women by violent offenders.

Wait what??? Anti-dictatorship is controversial? What is wrong with you? Are you anti-democracy? You’ve demonstrated that you’re pro-hate and extremism.
More importantly, @NBCNews @CBSNews @ABC @nytimes @washingtonpost @CNN why is Musk’s extremism and authoritarian-curious bent not getting more coverage. His brand is clearly toxic to advertisers.
Once again, @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @GOPLeader will you denounce hate and extremism? Will you pledge to uphold American values?

.@realDonaldTrump , @kanyewest , @elonmusk promote this kind of hate speech & no member of the @SenateGOP @HouseGOP has the courage to stand up and say it’s wrong. I will hold you accountable! I will fight you on this. #HereRightMatters
I have never received something like this. We are experiencing a rise in hate, while many look the other way or seek to profit from it. I refuse to allow this to be the norm and a part of my child’s future. I will fight against hate and extremism and for decency and acceptance.
Here’s the sender of the vile antisemitic hate mail.

I stand with @Renew_Democracy Fellow @EnesFreedom! I know something about risking your career to do the right thing and that's what Enes did. He spoke out in defense of Uyghurs, Tibetans, and others who don't have a voice. Even if we don't know exactly why he was waived, 1/5
it fits a pattern of the @NBA kowtowing to China's dictatorship. They brought the hammer down on the @HoustonRockets GM after he expressed support for Hong Kong protests. They've bent over backwards to appease the CCP, and this sets a dangerous precedent. 2/5
We used to believe that open societies would export freedom & democratic values, such appeasement shows that we've begun importing authoritarianism. Unfortunately, the @NBA isn't alone. @Disney thanked CCP-aligned groups in Xinjiang who are committing genocide against Uyghurs 3/5

On a plane heading back from Kyiv. Had an excellent 10 day research trip to Ukraine to better understand how this country and this region figure into US national security and foreign policy. There are some fascinating conclusions, but the most important question is can the US…
… remain focused on partnership and strategic relations to a successful conclusion. Now, attention is focused on ending the war in Afghanistan, but we have equally important… more important challenges in front of us.
Ukraine is critical to both answering the challenge of Russian aggression and malign influence and meeting the challenge of a powerful adversarial China. I hope tomorrow’s meeting between @POTUS and @ZelenskyyUa goes well. #HereRightMatters

A year ago today I testified in a public hearing about @realDonaldTrump’s attempted corruption & efforts to extort a foreign leader’s help to steal the 2020 election. During the past year—emboldened by a complicit @GOP— he has continued his corruption efforts. That is who he is.
He lost on Election Day & he is losing in the courts so @realDonaldTrump has returned to his roots & is now looking to coerce state & local officials in an effort to overturn the results. He is applying pressure & offering favors to steal the election. That is who he is.
@realDonaldTrump is relying on the complicity of a few unscrupulous people, but the will of nearly 80m Americans will prevail. This is America...and #HereRightMatters

These concerns for #PA01 & 🇺🇸were well-founded. We know now from #Woodward's book that the Trump admin & GOP were minimizing the spread and health risks of #COVID19.

@RepBrianFitz🤥 made his false statements on Mar 23, which were debunked by @PolitiFact the next month.
@RepBrianFitz started & co-chaired a House #CoronavirusTaskForce on March 3, which was to make #COVID19 "facts" available to his #PA01 & the US public. He cited his House #ForeignAffairs experience as pertinent to recognizing/preparing for global crises.

But what @RepBrianFitz was actually doing with #ForeignAffairs platform was to concoct lies and diversions around his false #SouthKorea trajectory statement on right wing conservative #PA01 radio on March 23
