There continues to be a lot of confusion around @AOC and @ReadeAlexandra. This is a nuanced and difficult subject, so we’re going to look at it more deeply.
On Tara Reade and AOC, a thread:

Tara Reade did not change her story. She omitted details when coming forward in 2019, something many survivors do.

Accusing her of changing her story is a right wing talking point that upholds rape myths.

It’s so common for survivors to be inconsistent in their accounts that this training manual on false allegations states that inconsistency is not enough to determine that an assault did not happen.

Many of the same media outlets and personalities that were understanding with Christine Blasey Ford’s missing details have seemingly forgotten their understanding of trauma when it comes to Tara Reade. slate.com/technology/201… Image

Seeing this footage of Tara Reade is so emotional. The excitement in her voice about working in DC is audible. Her admiration for Biden is undeniable.

There is always an abuse of power in sexual violence, and considering more than half of women victims of rape reported being raped by an intimate partner (and 40.8% by an acquaintance*), relationships with abusers are often complex, confusing, and layered.

*for male victims, more than half (52.4%) reported being raped by an acquaintance and 15.1% by a stranger. - @NSVRC

Today we're going to talk about Tara Reade and Domestic Violence. Trigger warning for descriptions of abuse.

What is domestic violence? According to @ndvh, "Domestic violence (also called intimate partner violence/IPV, domestic abuse, or relationship abuse) is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship."
2/
Domestic violence can include physical harm, arousal of fear, preventing a partner from doing what they wish or forcing them to behave in ways they do not want. It can include physical & sexual violence, threats, intimidation, emotional abuse, & economic deprivation.

Today we’re going to talk about corrobation of Tara Reade’s allegations against Joe Biden.
thread 👇🏻
#WeBelieveTaraReade
Before we dive in, what is corroboration? @Wikipedia says
“Corroborating evidence (or corroboration) is evidence that tends to support a proposition that is already supported by some initial evidence, therefore confirming the proposition.”
In this case, the initial evidence is Tara Reade’s testimony, and the corroborating evidence comes from people she told about the harassment and assault. However, many have a flawed understanding of corroboration.
