I am pissed.
I am enraged.

I just watched @ejeancarroll on @thelastword last night, and I am slamming cupboard doors and pouring a stiff drink.

And I'm not furious with @Lawrence.

I'm furious at that bitch that @realDonaldTrump raped.

I was incredibly moved by the piece she wrote yesterday, and I was filled with hope that finally, THIS would be the first case with forensic evidence that could be used to confirm a victim's story of forcible rape at the hands of the now most powerful man in the nation.

But in this interview, even though she acknowledges she possibly has physical evidence that could finally be used to hold Trump to account for his acts of violence and sexual violence against women - AND CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 11 YEARS OLD, she thinks it would be disrespectful?

You say you're happy, that you've been able to move on. You're a woman of means, so I'm going to be blunt: you have privilege that dozens of his victims don't - enough money to hire a lawyer, the psychological fortitude to endure whatever is thrown at you

Do you have any idea how many young girls were violently raped by @realDonaldTrump and his friends? I'm not just talking teenagers, I'm talking PRE-TEEN GIRLS.

I'm talking about girls who were trafficked amongst Trump and his friends, some with promises of modeling careers, some kidnapped, forced to live in Jeffrey Epstein's "Models Apartment" at 301 E. 66th St., likely being told their mothers had sold them into this life...

Girls who developed dependencies on drugs (prescription and otherwise) to cope.

Some girls who are no longer alive.

And girls who tried to come forward, filing lawsuits in court, though were ignored by the media... until they weren't, their lives were put at risk by an international conspiracy theory, promoted by Russian agents and alt-right fuckwits, threatening them to stay silent...

promoted so heavily to protect Trump and Epstein that some Americans were driven into taking guns and ammo into family pizza parlors, stopping traffic on the Hoover Dam armored vehicles and high capacity rifles, sending bombs to news organizations and politicians...

and some victims even having to leave the country out of concern for their very lives.

I've spent nearly 3 solid years of my life trying to right this wrong.

So. Your writing was beautiful, powerful, and devastating...

But because you claim to be happy, well adjusted, etc.. and because you both have contemporaneous witnesses AND physical evidence:

only a decision to NOT press charges is disrespectful/.

It's disrespectful to those girls near the border, it's disrespectful to Trump's other victims, and it's disrespectful to the rest of us who have survived our own trauma that is reawakened by seeing Trump go unpunished on a daily basis.

It's about all the other girls that @realDonaldTrump viciously and violently raped AFTER you, while you kept on living your life. Because he's just like your summer camp counselor - he doesn't stop at just one.

And Trump usually likes them a lot younger than you were.

It's not about you, and how it had little impact that assault had on your daily life. What if you weren't as strong, as resilient?

What @realDonaldTrump did to you (and others) was a crime, and regardless of how much power he has, if you have what it takes to bring him to even a little bit of justice...

holding him to account is your duty.

And I apologize for calling you a bitch.... but now that my point has been made, I hope you see how important it is to do what you can from your position of privilege and safety:

for how it will impact the ability of those girls down at the border, for how it will impact his other victims to report their own trauma;

for all his OTHER victims who may not otherwise be able to find justice;

for all of us.
