The only difference between what the libs are doing to #TaraReade rn and Trump & co did to #ChristineBlaseyFord is their language and tone. That's it. They are the same. Michael Stern and every other hack coming after her are no better than any of them.
I already already regret looping in this hashtag, but I would very much appreciate #resistance Twitter's explanation as to how these two responses to these two things which definitely happened are any different.
There is no difference. They are the same.

DIFFICULT THREAD -- #BIDEN SHOULD WITHDRAW
1. I respect the will of the voters.
2. But new information has emerged supporting #TaraReade's account of being sexually assaulted by #JoeBiden.
3. Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards.

4. Defeating Trump is NOT OPTIONAL.
5. To avoid potential catastrophe in Nov., #Biden should withdraw.
6. #Warren, #Harris, #Klobuchar, #Buttigieg, #Castro, etc. could replace Biden.
7. #Bernie can restart his campaign.
8. We can reboot the primary and give voters a choice.

9. This is the ethical position AND the smarter strategy to beat Trump.
10. We lose ALL moral authority if we embrace "the lesser of two accused rapists."
11. Polls show other Dem candidates can win.
PRINCIPLES MATTER. WE CAN BEAT TRUMP AND PROTECT OUR VALUES.

1/ ACTIVISTS/SCHOLARS/INTELLECTUALS SHARING THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE - why it matters
At some point or another, we are confronted with the accusation of speaking from the Ivory Tower. We didn't get our hands dirty, we didn't bleed, we talk about others' pain.

2/ Indeed we do: I'm not in Syria or am allowed to visit the American concentration camps for refugees. Action is driven by principles and ideology and also fueled by empathy.
3/ There's a point where sharing our material, human experience matters. It matters not only for credibility, but for the fight itself. Do you remember the movement hashtagged #WhyIDidntReport, in support of #ChristineBlaseyFord?
#Kamala is now up on #TRMS. Rachel asks her what she means by "sham process". She discusses how 1000s of pages were dumped at the time 11th hour, credible allegations were not investigated, and #ChristineBlaseyFord was treated like a criminal when she had nothing to gain.
#Kamala reminds us the White House was "orchestrating" and "curating" what the Judiciary committee could learn about #Kavanaugh. "The process by which he was confirmed has caused a crisis of confidence". Impeachment is necessary.
You know how we got here to begin with makes me sick.

One of the tragedies of modern uber-digital society is its short memory and low retention. Do you remember #AaronSwartz? Do you even remember Dr. #ChristineBlaseyFord ?
Let not Trump's murderous complicity follow the same pattern.

I'm seeing lots of conspiracy theories being thrown around the #VAGovernor mess. Here's why most, if not all of them, are probably wrong. #Thread 1/
First, the Northam yearbook photo that came out last week. Lots of speculation that this was either (a) a hit job by right-wing media, or (b) a set-up from an enemy (LG Fairfax or AG Herring) who wanted Northam out. 2/
The "right-wing hit job" idea is only half true. Northam's yearbook picture was first published by right-wing media site with ties to Roy Moore (as @SarahKing__ reported). Sure, this site has an interest in taking out Dem politicians. 3/
Did you know that some countries have had to make a specific law against Femicide?
Imagine this: A separate law from just 'murder'. <Thread>

Femicide is not a widespread term among people, and many who have heard of it (even women), don't understand the difference between 'Femicide' and the general term of 'Murder'.
Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. 2/

Femicide is not exclusive of other crimes against women. It is the result of symptomatic misogyny & machismo that runs rampant in many cultures. Despite the constant stream of political expression that Women are Equal to Men, we are far from this concept even in this country. 3/
Last night, I listened to the final installment of @Slate's "Slow Burn," about the Starr investigation. Episode 8 is about the rape accusation made against @BillClinton by Juanita Broaddrick, a nursing home owner who worked on his 1978 campaign. That's her on the right:
Like most of the podcast, it was beautifully done: the way @LeonNeyfakh handles women's stories is a model for good historical work. The interview w/ #LindaTripp, for example contains a great twist where confesses he has secretly recorded her as she recorded #MonicaLewinsky.
@LeonNeyfakh's treatment of #MonicaLewinsky also reveals her as simultaneously emotionally young and vulnerable; as a woman with tremendous agency; and as a tough cookie who deserved better than to have been made a figure of fun on the political left and the right.

I went to bed feeling betrayed--perhaps even enraged. I woke up, still feeling betrayed--but resolved. I still believe #AnitaHill. I still believe #ChristineBlaseyFord I still believe #survivors #women They have knocked us down, but not out. I still believe in the power of us.
Our perpetrators tried to stifle our voices too--and, WE ARE NOT GOING BACK. We will not be silenced or moved. Today, survivors will keep organizing, sharing our painful and hard truths until the very last hour, and then we'll take our fight to the ballot box.
Survivors matter and we do vote--and run for office too! We have been ignored, but not silenced #midterms A vote to support #Kavanaugh confirms more than one man, to the highest court in the land, you are also confirming #privilege #entitlement #injustice
People ask what #patriarchy is. Think “Jim Crow” and apply it to women—all women. It’s a web of systems, structures, practices and believes that enforce gender hierarchy and silence women. 1/

THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4349: Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford - Part III • #BrettKavanaugh #ChristineBlaseyFord #KavanaughHearings #BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #Nonverbal #EmotionalIntelligence #LowConfidence #HighConfidence #Deception #Lying #Honesty
1/ There are many nonverbal signs indicating relative levels of confidence. During last week's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford exhibited contrasting examples of one such signal.
2/ When a person raises their right hand to be sworn-in before testifying, if their fingers and/or thumb are spread apart - it signals low levels of confidence.
If you want to live in a nation that is "led" by a man who would mock someone who was the victim of a violent sexual assault then we are very different people.
Trump's behavior today was that of a playground bully. They were the words that a bully utters and then laughs.

The bully imagines, and may even hear, the world laughing with him, but the chuckles are only from his hangers-on and those hoping to impress the bully.
The rest of the world only turns its head to look away. They hope that someone, anyone, will intervene.

They almost always get away with it, though, bullies.
And Trump will likely get away with this, like always.
#ChristineBlaseyFord passed a lie detector test on the day of her grandmother's funeral. No one non-partisan or credible has questioned her credibility.

1/ The following is my second analysis of a portion of Brett Kavanaugh's testimony during his hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on 27 September 2018.
2/ JOHN KENNEDY (beginning at 3:45:39): "I’m — I’m sorry, judge, for what you and your family have been through. And I’m sorry - for what Dr. Ford and her family have been through. It could have been avoided [long pause] Do you believe in God?"
Rachel Mitchell is about to get hell from the Left and she shouldn’t. Her findings were fact based and logical. Once upon a time (pre-DJT) a mainstream journalist would’ve come to the same conclusions.
SPOT ON. #ChristineBlaseyFord

1/ In case you hadn't heard, on Wednesday 27 September 2018, both Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
2/ This hearing could supply a year's worth of nonverbal teaching examples and it would close to impossible to analyze the entire event in one session. Thus, what follows is the first of several analyses of this historic exchange.
I would like to offer up a game theoretic perspective on why leadership feels that the nomination of #Kavanaugh must be protected at any expense (even the possibility of taking a hammering in the midterm elections) and why #ChristineBlaseyFord’s life must be destroyed.
Thread.
Thread.
I apologize to those who see this as obvious, but it seems to me that it warrants being clearly spelled out.
The first thing to note is that no one is convinced that #Kavanaugh is of good moral character in the treatment of women. In a single interaction, the Nash Equilibrium is to withdraw the nomination, even at the expense of losing the opportunity to put their guy on the bench.
1. Hoy declara en el Senado esta mujer: #ChristineBlaseyFord, que acusa a #BrettKavanaugh de intentar violarla cuando ambos eran adolescentes. Kavanaugh es el candidato de Trump al Supremo. En este hilo aportaré contexto sobre lo que ocurra. El vídeo aquí nytimes.com/2018/09/27/us/…
2. El nombre de Ford, que vive en California, salió a la luz el 16 de septiembre en este artículo del @washingtonpost. Ford desveló en julio la acusación a su congresista pero hasta septiembre se resistió a desvelar su nombre. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
3. En este enlace puedes leer el testimonio íntegro que Ford ha presentado por escrito antes de su intervención de hoy. Este de aquí abajo es el párrafo clave: dice que Kavanaugh, borracho, intentó violarla durante una fiesta en 1982. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4945…
1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh
Ford’s statement directly contradicts what @RepAnnaEshoo’s office has stated on record? They specifically said she met with Eshoo on July 20th. What is happening? #ComfirmKavanaugh
Her staff went so far as to clarify the exact date with Mercury News?

Someone is blatantly lying @RepAnnaEshoo was in Washington D.C on July 13th, as recorded with her nay vote per Congressional Record. She has stated over and over she met Ford in person at her office in Palo Alto on July 20th. #ComfirmKavanaugh

2. Christine Blasey Ford is supposed to be testifying on Thursday.
We know that she has no evidence to back up her accusations.
IF she does testifies she will make a fool of herself, people will see through her lies and accept the fact that she is a phony.

#WhyIDidntReport "I just don't think anyone would have believed me" and NO ONE DID the press continues to disrespect Juanita Broaddrick, how many times does she need to tell everyone she was RAPED BY @BillClinton for her to be taken seriously? @TheDemocrats are sick #METOO
You know the story @washingtonpost remember how everyone judged her because she couldn't remember the exact date? Hmmmm #ChristineBlaseyFord washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…
When @atensnut told her story @latimes said "it was fishy" and asked the question, maybe it was actually consensual sex because she was just trying to get back at her husband. In fact they broke down all the reasons not to believe her.
