THREAD: CW: Why are my comments turned off? Here’s one reason. The right wing trolls who compiled a “hit piece” on me have published my abusive ex husband’s response to my restraining order application, but kept from you how the court ruled. So let’s put this to bed, shall we? 1/

The court recognized the lies he told in the document my trolls are sharing, and ruled in my favor, finding a years-long pattern of coercive & controlling abuse as defined under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act. They granted me my restraining order AND just renewed it. 2/

Not only did the trolls have to PHYSICALLY go to San Diego Superior Court and PURCHASE these documents, they only published HIS reply to help fit THEIR narrative. They also didn’t show you his arrest record for felony spousal abuse the night he took the door off the hinges. 3/

Further, the trolls have decided I’m the bad guy because I consider it abuse that he gaslit me about how much he had to drink & then drove us into a wall at 50 MPH nearly killing me. The trolls say it’s not, & that because I stayed with him after that, more abuse was my fault 4/

And now, if I tweet and leave comments on, I’m swarmed with traumatizing photos of me with 400 stitches in my head calling me a liar. This gatekeeping, misogyny, and trauma are designed to shut me up or get me to leave the app. It won’t work. 5/

I will NOT debate them about what constitutes spousal abuse, nor will I debate them about my lived experiences. I tell my story so others don’t feel alone, and bad actors use that to manipulate the truth to shut me up. 6/

It was ME, not THEM, who hid under the covers as he beat the door down while I was on the phone with a friend & 9-1-1. It was ME not THEM terrified as he left and came back with power tools to remove the door. It was ME not THEM who spent 4 days in the hospital after the crash 7/

It was ME, not THEM who came home to a loaded gun on the table in front of a drunk and drugged up abuser the night before Christmas Eve when I fled my home to stay with friends and file that restraining order application the following Monday. 8/

The trolls will stop at nothing to silence me. Well, I have receipts, too, and I’ve survived worse than them. If you want to comment on my tweets, shoot me a DM before Musk makes you pay $8 for the privilege and I’ll vet you personally and follow back so you can comment. 9/

Oh. It’s of note that the anonymous troll who published the hit piece follows my ex husband on Twitter. And no one reached out to me once for comment. Fuck those dudes. END/
