Erica Joy Alduino (Charlottesville planner, aka "WheatfieldBecky") & Amanda Swart (League of the South) didn't give last names in this silly photo essay about racist women. They're both so infamous, I'm confused why they'd be offered anonymity now. topic.com/the-secret-wea…
Here is "Erika" on the Charlottesville planning Discord encouraging "naming and shaming" and talking about killing a man. discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/discord/view/6…
Here's Erica using her full name, correctly spelled, in an article about how feminism is stupid. theodysseyonline.com/feminism-doesn…
And again in the AJC: pressreader.com/usa/the-atlant…
And even again in the IBTimes: ibtimes.co.uk/generation-tru…
Amanda too has been proudly giving her name and affiliation for years. Not sure why she's so shy now. Here's her in a South Carolina newspaper, defending white supremacy just two weeks after Charlottesville. independentmail.com/story/news/201…

Tomorrow, Virginians decide whether to vote Corey Stewart into the US Senate.

Tomorrow marks 451 days since 8/12/17, the weekend when violent neo-Nazis came to beat & murder people on the streets outside my home.

How is Corey Stewart responsible?

Let me count the ways.

(1/55)
Most of the world is familiar with the scenes of tiki torches, swastikas, and mob beatings from the weekend when white supremacists, neo-Nazis, Klansmen & genocidal bigots of every stripe all teamed up.

But this story starts months before Charlottesville became #Charlottesville.
Six months earlier, an unlikely friendship began between an irrelevant blogger looking for exposure and an underdog candidate trying to make a name for himself. Over months of joint events, Corey Stewart and Jason Kessler cultivated a mutually beneficial alliance. (3/55)

The best #Charlottesville-One-Year-Later stories will be written & produced by Charlottesvillians. Today, I'm starting a thread to highlight work that's caught my eye. I welcome suggestions about things I've missed.
But first...
Words matter. What happened in #Charlottesville on August 11th & 12th last year wasn't a rally. It wasn't a riot. It was terrorism.
White supremacist terrorists invaded my city, killing Heather Heyer & sending dozens to the hospital.
Terrorism. It's the right word. Please use it.
The best & most comprehensive account of the terrorist attacks in #Charlottesville last August 11th & 12th is sure to be @pastpunditry's podcast series. Many voices, many perspectives, brilliant synthesis. Listen to an intro here. 👇🏾

1. Here are a few takeaways from, & initial analysis regarding, the #Shelbyville/#Murfreesboro white supremacist events in Tennessee today.
2. Early estimates suggest as many as 200 white supremacists showed up, inc. neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan grps, alt right adherents & others. We
3. will analyze evidence from #Shelbyville to get better estimate but we had predicted around 200 would show up, so we may have been close.

So, I've been #FollowingWomen2017 and it's been enlightening. I've seen things that disturb me and things that deeply help me.
All of that to say something obvious but that doesn't get stated enough: women are fully human. They exhibit all the glory and grime men do.
Perhaps that's obvious. but perhaps it's a tendency to idealize women by some that actually constricts our view of their humanity.
