The Austin Firefighters Association called out DA Margaret Moore this week for her failures in handling sexual assault cases.

In a series of powerful videos, survivors recount how Moore mishandled their cases and personally mistreated them: kvue.com/article/news/l…
It’s the latest evidence that DA Moore is failing sexual assault survivors: eight have sued Moore in a class-action lawsuit, alleging gender discrimination and constitutional rights violations. austinchronicle.com/news/2019-03-1…
Moore has said that rape by an acquaintance doesn’t rise to the level of sexual assault - and that rape involving victims who had consumed alcohol or drugs shouldn’t be prosecuted as a criminal act: austinchronicle.com/news/2019-03-1…
In 2017, DA Moore tried only one rape case out of 625 allegations in Travis County.

The District Attorney’s job is to treat survivors with dignity and respect. Moore must do the same. austinchronicle.com/news/2019-03-1…

The changing landscape for criminal justice in America has been front and center recently, from presidential candidates pledging to reduce mass incarceration to progressive prosecutors taking steps like ending marijuana prosecutions, ending reliance on cash bail, and more.
That movement continues in large and small cities and counties in the coming week, as prosecutors are up for election in many jurisdictions, as @Taniel detailed earlier today. theappeal.org/politicalrepor…
Races are happening all over, so see if there’s an election for prosecutor — or any office, because almost all offices have some role in our criminal justice system — that you’ll be voting for next week.

Good morning, #KHive! Today, I’m kicking off the week with my thread of 46 reasons that Kamala Harris should be our next president! Let’s go! 👏🏽 #Kamala2020 #ForThePeople #KamalaHarris
1 - It’s time for a woman in the White House. More than that, it’s time for a WOC in the White House - for Kamala. She comes from a diverse background that understands how the majority of Americans live day to day + her 3AM Agenda speaks to what keep us up at night. #Kamala2020
2 - Kamala has broken barriers that noone has before. Kamala was the first female DA of SF + First black woman to serve as AG in CA. Kamala is also the second black woman and first South-Asian American elected to the senate! WHAT GLASS CEILING? #Kamala2020 harris.senate.gov/about

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

WTF FLORIDA?
Dahvie Vanity Raped A Child.
Police Gave Him A Warning.

Now 21 Women Accuse Him Of Sexual Assault.

The Serial Pedophile Blood on the Dance Floor singer is an expert at winning teenage girls' trust — and their silence.

One Sunday night in June 2007, 14-year-old Dianna Farrell sat alone in her bedroom, listening to a Christian radio show where teens discussed their troubles on-air. The host, a man named Dawson McAllister, seemed kind: Farrell picked up the phone and dialed in.
When McAllister asked her what was wrong, she took a deep breath, then told him about the man who had sexually assaulted her at her home eight days earlier. A show staffer called the police.

Bill Barr's confirmation hearing is about to begin. Follow me for a video thread.
.@LindseyGrahamSC: "The times of which we live are very difficult times. I don't see them getting better overnight... So about me... I'll be as measured as possible. The immigration Lindsey will show up. But the [Kavanaugh] guy's there too. I don't like him any more than you do.
.@SenFeinstein tells Barr, "your [memo criticizing the Mueller investigation] shows a large, sweeping view of presidential power... [and] raises a number of questions about your views of executive authority and whether the president is in fact above the law."

1. I've held back on writing about the wave of sexual abuse allegations. It is a highly emotionally charged issue and any treatment of it runs the risk of causing pain. But, as I watch the #MeToo movement used as a political football, I feel it's time to navigate the subject.
2. It's my intention to find the balance of compassion and pragmatism and to highlight the nuance of the phenomenon, as the value of this time in history risks damage from partisan politics and labels of hysteria.
3. Why this is happening now is a direct response to the election of DT - a man accused of sexual assault 16 times, with a long history of publicly demeaning women and well-publicized audio detailing sexual assault in his own words.
