another thing mainstream republicans and open nazis have in common. every time i’ve ever openly discussed being a sexual assault survivor, i’m greeted by a chorus of fascists arguing i’m too ugly to rape.
rape isn't about attraction. it's about violence.
i guess what i'm saying is i'm not surprised by any of the conduct we've seen from our elected officials because it's getting harder and harder to distinguish between a mainstream political figure and an 8chan dwelling white supremacist incel murderer in training.
hard to imagine why more victims don't come forward.

daniel borden will be sentenced tomorrow after pleading guilty in may 2018 for his role in the brutal beating of deandre harris on august 12, 2017.
he entered an alford plea for felony malicious wounding - briefly, this means he maintains innocence while admitting he knows the state has sufficient evidence to convict him (because he's, you know, on video committing the crime)

two other men have already been tried, convicted, and sentenced for their participation in this beating. alex ramos & jacob goodwin were convicted in 2018 and will serve 6 & 10 years, respectively.
tyler davis goes to trial next month.

trying to remember what happened this year by going back through my tweets. folks, it was a weird one.
a year ago i was just starting to livetweet meetings. it was just a weird hobby i was getting into while i looked for a job.

back in january, i was just finding out about elmer woodard, a man who would later call me a terrorist & accuse me of a crime in open court!

Another thing from the podcast: I think people spend too much time trying to predict whether a given week is a "turning point" for Trump—it usually won't be— and not enough on whether the long-term trajectory of his presidency is steady, upwards or downwards.
Even a largely dysfunctional presidency will have its fair share of "wins". It will certainly have good days and good weeks, sometimes even good months. Between mean-reversion and lowered expectations, terrible weeks are more likely to be followed by better weeks than worse ones.
I'm struck by the notion that Trump has actually been pretty lucky so far. Certainly on the economy, which (most economists would say) is largely not his doing. But there also haven't been that many acute domestic & foreign policy crises that weren't of his own making.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

On Fox News, @KellyannePolls uses lies to dismiss Trump mocking Dr Ford.

"She still has no corroborating for her testimony," she says, falsely. "The president is pointing out factual inconsistencies."
Beyond parody - Conway cites Twitter likes on one of Trump's tweets to downplay polling showing how unpopular Kavanaugh is

"If you look at the president's tweet from last Thursday after Judge Kavanaugh testified, he got over 300,000 likes within 24 hours. That's a lot of likes."
Conway says the big lesson she takes from being a sexual assault survivor herself is that "I don't hold all men responsible. I hold the perpetrator responsible."

"We have to make sure we're not blaming an entire gender."

I'm a sociologist who studies adolescent sexual violence. On this thread, I will be live tweeting the #Kavanaugh hearing, chiming in with sociological insights and research findings.
Full disclosure--I will probably step away for parts of it. While many conservatives have cast feminists as people who rejoice at allegations of sexual assault against powerful men, this is a painful process for us. We know survivors. We are survivors. And I will need breaks.
It does not bode well that the beginning of this hearing is starting with equating #Kavanaugh and #Ford's experiences with harassment following Dr. Ford's allegations. They are absolutely not the same.
