Why did @BernieSanders hire this guy as his videographer? [TW for sexual abuse of women and racism.]
Bernie has built his entire (albeit weak) racial justice credentials on having attended the 1963 MLK March on Washington.
1/
Why would Sanders hire someone who made a pornographic and rapey video of the "I Have a Dream" speech?
These examples of failed leadership keep surfacing. I hope they will be addressed at the debate.
2/
Here are the images Orfalea used to represent gay rights and healthcare in a different video where he also used the ableist term "r*t*rded."
Sanders has been in politics for 52yrs. He should know how to vet staff.

It is not just the press Trump is killing. It was also feminism & BLM. And Trump is also killing his opponents. Among the murder victims are Obama, Mitt Romney, Maxine Waters, Rosie O'Donnell, Kathy Griffin. It ends with him killing Hillary Clinton. It's violent, not cartoonish.
No, I am NOT reposting the video. Several outlets I write for are among the murder victims. And the video is so hyper-realistic, it's frankly too reminiscent of church shootings in the past couple years. And the most violent killings are all of female opponents of Trump.
This is no joke.
And that no one on the right has called it out is disturbing as hell.

This is absolutely sickening.

New York Times: Fake video of Trump shooting his critics and the news media shown at his resort
1/
 cnn.com/2019/10/13/pol…
Journalists have already been shot to death.
There have been mass shootings in churches and synagogues.
There have been members of Congress shot (ironically, GOP).
It's grotesque that anyone thinks these crimes are a joke when families are forever grieving.
2/
Folks can claim first amendment protections as much as they want, but the facts are that the relentless targeting of the press and Trump's critics puts the lives of real people in harm's way as the recent El Paso massacre proved--the shooter driven by Trump's animus.

Our oldest cat apparently had a stroke overnight, which The Wife just discovered. Our vet can't make space for her, so she's having to go to the emergency service at the veterinary school which is always mayhem. I didn't get to say goodbye to her or touch her and I am sobbing.
I rescued her--Maxine--14 yrs ago. She was badly injured. We were never able to find a forever placement for her(we ran a small cat shelter for years till my paralysis) as she was given to biting. (She was sent back twice.) So she was ours, biting and all. Very beautiful. Sad.
The Wife called from the veterinary ER. Maxine indeed had a massive stroke, so they are euthanizing her after The Wife spends some time saying goodbye. They gave her a shot of cat morphine so she is not suffering and The Wife is in a chair in the euthanasia room holding her.

Also, if you’re saying, “He’s racist, but…” your privilege is showing. People of color do not have the luxury of qualifying or ignoring it. #Racism
If you see “Go back where you came from,” literally #1 on the #whitesupremacy all-time greatest hits list, and deny the blatant racism of the person who uttered it, you are truly living in a bubble of privilege and denial. #Racism
A leader encouraging a chant of “Send her back!” Towards a citizen who is a person of color at a political rally has effectively stepped over the line of #Racism to fascism.

1/ #Racism- and #Sexism-by-Proxy … a thread:

A while back, my usually-progressive son said it was wrong to give children 'black' names like LaShawn or LaTonya.

"There's so much racism," he said. "Their resumes and other applications will be rejected because of their names."
2/ I said this was a classic example of racism-by-proxy: "I'M not racist, but OTHER PEOPLE are … and we should all cater to them."

"But I'm just being realistic!" he countered. "Racists won't change, so black parents should give their kids race-neutral names."
3/ I said racists won't change if we never challenge their racism.

"If we accept racism as an immutable fact and act as if we must all adapt our lives to fit their biases," I said, "we help perpetuate racism. We practice racism-by-proxy."

So the @cpsuk are allowing teen girls & women to be sexually tortured on film. I have evidenced this horror on my blog. Proving much is non-consensual/ DV victims/performers who suffer mental health issues/physical harm to breasts /anus/genitalia etc bbc.co.uk/news/technolog… #VAWG
Also, a significant audience of online violent pornography are children and teenagers. #Pornhub hosts thousands of sexually violent videos that have millions of views. Many of these videos are 'home-made' and single males upload their own sexual offences against girls & women

In light of polling data shared by Manafort to Kilimnik, this is VERY INTERESTING.

@berniesanders campaign took voter data- was it shared via Mulvey, Devine and Kilimnik?

Who told them to do this?

@BernieSanders I have many questions @SenSanders

1. Which 4 staffers did this?
2. They were available together for a 40 min interval?
3. Time of day?
4. Their connection to Mulvey & Devine?
5. Did they sexually harrass fellow staffers?

2/
@BernieSanders @SenSanders 6. Sanders said inappropriate but still filed suit?
7. Where is this suit? Anyone?
8. How Kremliny- to be so offended they can no longer access information, Jeff Weaver says its LIFEBLOOD - gee inWHAT WAY? You have copies, no?
9. clean campaign?
10. Lose $600k/day? How

Opinion: The Death Of Hope And Why It Is Crucial For An American Awakening

disobedientmedia.com/2018/08/opinio…
"The death of hope can push us into a very dark place, but that darkness is the birth canal of real change."
"For some people, hope came in the form of a red hat, with stenciled letters embracing their foreheads promising to Make America Great Again. My hopes were pinned instead on #BernieSanders."

1) @SaRaAshcraft or @FionaBa47662575 maybe someone can give me some insight. I recently was talking to my sister, shes the one who got me studying #SRA and the possibility of it influencing our past
2) she told me about an incident she had recently remembered after moving out of the house at 16 and having gotten a new phone # that nobody had.
3) shortly after getting this new number she started getting strange calls. A man with an evil intonation would call and harass her, call her terrible names. She had only recently remembered this happening, but at the time it was terrifying.
