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.

#MeToo #IBelieveTaraReade ImageImage 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.

Reminder that @JoeBiden smelled Lucy Flores’ hair & kissed the back of her head. He then joked about it in his first public appearance after the allegations of inappropriate touching from 8 women surfaced. #WeBelieveTaraReade #MeTooNotPolitics “Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?”

Does this behavior seem appropriate to you? This incident became public knowledge in 2019. Read @LucyFlores’ article here: thecut.com/2019/03/an-awk… Image

HOW TO SUPORT #TaraReade (thread): Image 1. Donate to the GoFundMe. Tara lost her job/housing during a global pandemic for coming forward & needs financial support. 50% of the money raised will be donated to the @NVRDC, an org that does valuable victim advocacy work in DC.
