Everyone gather around I have something to get off my chest.
#TheResistance got played like a fiddle with the #AlFranken accusations. Russia or the alt right took advantage of a hot button item and got us all heated.
Thread
Now, I'm guilty of getting worked up. Some of us took to our timelines, some of us vented to friends, some of us choose to stay quite.
My point here is most of us acted poorly. Whether it was slut shaming, or simply not letting facts about the incident in we all had a blind spot form.
There was infighting. There was name calling. There was a breakdown of our movement over all of this.

I'm sorry to anyone I may have offended with my strong stance over the past 24 hours. I fell for the trap.
We need to dust ourselves back off and rebuild any bridges we may have damaged. I do hope we can all come together after this divisive play. Again I sincerely apologize for any hurt feelings I may have caused.

With all the talk of AR-15s just being another gun I feel like I should address that. First off, the AR-15 is basically a copy of the M4/M16 in looks and functionality.
Thread
Now, I was trained how to use both the M4 and M16. It's amazing, it's light, accurate, durable, has little to no recoil, and it's easy to clean.
Part of training was shooting these weapons, we shot at targets shaped like people. Not deer, or wildlife people. We shot for center mass because that's your best chance to hit your target.

Pull up a seat and grab a cup the Earl Grey is hot. It's time to talk about the people trying to hijack #TheResistance on Nov 4th.

@stormresist2017 @Alyssa_Milano @BadHombreNPS @BeSeriousUSA @AZ_Indivisible @jacksnowknows @CaptainsLog2017 @Guinan2017 We have an active threat facing our movement. They come under the disguise of #RefuseFascism and they want to poison our resistance.
@stormresist2017 @Alyssa_Milano @BadHombreNPS @BeSeriousUSA @AZ_Indivisible @jacksnowknows @CaptainsLog2017 @Guinan2017 They are sponsoring the Nov 4th marches. They don't have the cleanest track record either

Seeing a lot of talk of violence pushed by trolls and bots with a few resistance accounts mixed in. So let's talk why that's not smart.
First off it discredits all the hard work we have all put in if let this talk turn into something real.
Warren buffet said it takes years to build a good reputation but only minutes to destroy it.

Think bigger. Russian-US conspiracy is more insidious yet lacking in self-awareness. Why? Because it’s seamlessly woven into fabric of today’s conservative movement by a master Kremlin tailor. Putin’s using KGB-Chekists tradecraft to manipulate Conservative groups & leaders 1/7
Vast conspiracies are notoriously hard & almost never work—they require a secrecy & loyalty that is rare-too many leaks & cold feet. But manipulating dozens of mini plots unbeknownst to each other is very effective—particularly if part of vast pliable & greedy infrastructure. 2/7
Getting disparate US orgs to push in same direction required Russia to patiently $incentivize GOP & @FoxNews to weave over past decades a combustible combination of religious zealotry, greed & fanatical nationalism into a “whole” more dangerous than the sum of its parts 3/7

PSA: Fake Oppo is gonna Fake Oppo, ergo Chekism 101. True #TheResistance has been infiltrated by the Alt-Right & RU troll farms and Botnets. How does does one discern? RU RIS promotes #/FBR, etc. & is being tracked by our IC is one clue.
Remember all of the “Resistance” hullabaloo threatened by the far Right promising to viciously & vociferously “Resist” HRC if she won? Was the original “Resistance” organized to ‘Resist’ HRC? Food for thought as Fake Opposition is gonna Fake Oppo. In time the truth will reveal.
For the record, I jumped on T post the E and eagerly & energetically joined #TheResistance. The idea still emotionally resonates with me as a DEM & I am ♥️broken many of my initial follows have revealed themselves as fake oppo, more interested in viciously opposing the

1. Those who follow my work know I believe that the Trump candidacy and win was orchestrated through a combined effort of the alt-Right and Russia. Further I believe it was planned for Bannon to turn on DT and Pied-Pieper away with the "true" deplorables after wrecking the GOP.
2. What I do find myself wondering is how Bannon and Mercer planned to avoid legal scrutiny in the event of an investigation like Mueller's -which I've little doubt they would have anticipated, perhaps even counted on as it creates more chaos and division.
3. It's worth noting that though Mueller has interviewed Lewandowski, Manafort, even Hicks...Bannon, Mercer and Conway are conspicuously absent from the investigation so far (at least publicly). In fact, interest in Cambridge Analytica has been surprisingly minimal.

Let’s look back at 2017 before heading into the New Year. Here it is, #TheResistance’s YEAR IN REVIEW, a collection of our greatest hits. #BestPartof2017ForMe
These are the wins that we got by calling, showing up, or creating massive public pressure. We could create another whole list of wins that the courts and national orgs racked up.
January
A modest yet robust pdf called the Indivisible Guide made the rounds and in January, hundreds of local Indivisible groups got organized.
