Thanks to whistleblowers and activists including the @WeSaidEnough community, CA banned #MeToo NDAs in 2018 and expanded protections in 2022.

That said, calling on Elon Musk (and others!) to open NDAs for those who want to speak, know that many don’t.🧵fastcompany.com/90706957/this-…
Our team at @WeSaidEnough has been a de facto #MeToo hotline since October 2017. We still hear about politicos from across the spectrum. Many used NDAs in the 2020 presidential campaign while attacking Bloomberg for his old ones. And when he opened his NDAs NO ONE TALKED! Why?
You know why. Many people with #MeToo NDAs have reasons for remaining silent. The most common: they moved on; they still work in the same financial or political circles; they didn’t want to be used as props with old wounds re-opened then left to heal alone. Who wants all THAT?

Heartbroken at the death of our beloved war hero and Senator Max Cleland. Despite sacrificing 3 limbs in Vietnam he was maligned by the right, and implored Democrats to defend our patriots as he led the creation of our “Fighting Dems” and @DNCVetsMilFams Council. #RIPMaxCleland
We met in 2003 when Senator Cleland asked me to interview a former staffer of his. Got to know him in the Kerry for President campaign when Cleland tried to stop the swiftboating of another Vietnam War Senator by another Republican who hadn’t seen combat. He insisted on …
learning from his 2002 Senate loss. Max Cleland paid a painful price: his PTSD from losing 3 limbs in the Vietnam War used against him in a vile Republican campaign smear comparing him to bin Laden and Saddam Hussein for defending workers’ rights at the Dept of Homeland Security.

At the risk of introducing nuance on Twitter …

I’ve worked on l/around vaccine politics for 20 years, since the U.S. House Oversight Committee debated a Victims Compensation Fund for children who got autism after (not from) measles vaccines. It failed. The same dynamics 1/
then exist now: a vaccine spectrum from self-described #antivaxxers, vax skeptics, vaccine hesitants, to vaccine proponents. It was not partisan. Now the covid vaccine spectrum is much more partisan than the childhood vaccine spectrum but not exclusively so. 2/
The science 20 years ago about childhood vaccines was not universally accepted — and the Wakefield Study falsely linking vaccines to autism affected people on many levels - such as fear of vaccines; ableism in treating and “curing” autism; outlier study used to oppose mandates 3/

Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney asks Sgt Gonell to respond to Trump calling the #January6th mob “loving” —

“If that was hugs and kisses, we should all go to his house and do the same thing to him.”
🔥🔥🔥
He is clearly incensed by the lies and denials - and rightfully makes the point that NO ONE else sent the mob - they kept saying “Trump sent us”

Not Antifa. Not Black Lives Matter. Trump.
Of course the #January6th crowd sent by Trump was NOT “loving” - it was “medieval” “hand to hand combat” “beating us with the American flag they claim to represent” according to the sworn testimony of heroic police officers.

Who is the secret donor paying Kristi Noem to send South Dakota’s National Guard to Texas? What if there is a wildfire or other crisis at home in South Dakota during this partisan campaign stunt? Why is the military allowed to be a secret political mercenary force?
The South Dakota guard “politicizing the military with a secret donor” part reeks of Erik Prince. The border activity feels like the sham “build the wall” criminal case.

But if I am wrong and this is “very legal & very cool” — why not disclose the donor?
And does the secret Noem mercenary donor have any business before the South Dakota state government, the Texas state government, or the United States government?

Might this donation be part of seeking any material benefit from the state or the feds?

I know it’s frustrating to “wait” days for #Impeachment when Trump is so unhinged. FAR faster to arrest him for felony murder - but the US House is not the US Attorney and House Rules say “fast track” a bill to Floor vote in 2 legislative days. Til then, #25thAmendment!
5 days feel like an eternity especially while traumatized by the deadly #CapitolRiots Trump incited. After he’s shredded our Constitution, it’s excruciating to wait while he hurts more people. But #impeachment is worth it - we can MOVE ON by making sure he can’t run again.
I remember being a prosecutor and people would “pull time” per CA’s Speedy Trial Law - demand a jury trial in 10 days. It felt achingly slow; when you charge a case you want to try it day one at arraignment. But due process for ALL is our system. Hang tight. 5 days. #impeachment
