1/ THREAD Content warning: Images of black face and the KKK @DigitalHistory_ @Jalane_Schmidt @johnedwinmason @slaveryuva Like many others I've been trying to keep up with news related to #ResignRalph #ByeRalph #ResignNortham #ResignRalphNortham and #WeAreAllUnionHill.

This is from right-wing media BUT survivors don’t come forward w/ sexual assault allegations frivolously. Choosing to re-live trauma in public debate is not to be taken lightly. If Tyson chooses to come forward, we hope for a supportive space. 🧜🏻‍♀️💄🐝

Not sure if this is related; however, earlier this evening @CollectivePAC referenced racially motivated attacks from Northam’s camp. Is this foreshadowing of a response to allegations being made?

My interpretation is if Lt. Gov office is vacant when Governor leaves office then the Attorney General becomes Governor. That means Mark Herring is next in line.

If AG is ineligible, THEN it goes to Speaker of the House aka Kirk Cox who is the 1st Republican in the succession.
