As an abuse survivor, I deeply sympathize with any and all victims of sexual violence. But even more, I worry about the vulnerable. Why? B/c elevating men like Trump & Gaetz keeps many already-depressed survivors trapped in silence, shame, self-blame and hopelessness.


It's not a 'gut punch' or 'slap in the face.' Gaetz' promotion will deter and discourage victims of sexual violence from speaking up & reporting crimes. That, in turn, helps the predators and endangers the vulnerable. tinyurl.com/4wcaum5s


Gaetz "boasted to colleagues on the House floor of his methods of crushing Viagra & Red Bull to maintain his erection through his orgiastic evenings is perhaps the least offensive of his many crimes against womanhood and Christian faith.” tinyurl.com/yryaf53n


No one to blame but themselves. . . tinyurl.com/yc4d5bwk

In light of Donald Trump’s selection of former Congressman Matt Gaetz to be his Attorney General, I am calling on the House Ethics Committee to preserve and share their report and all relevant documentation on Mr. Gaetz with the Senate Judiciary Committee.


Despite Gaetz' resignation, House panel could still vote to release its ethics investigation report. CALL OR WRITE THEM & insist that they do!! ethics.house.gov/about/committe…


I'm not easily blown away but I'm blown away by this: We'll soon have a proven sex offender as our president and an alleged child molester as our top legal official. tinyurl.com/5b5ae2bu


She steals $900.000. At least one US bishop wrote the judge asking that she not be locked up. . . tinyurl.com/dc7d5pdu


Voluntary resignations are OK. Forcible ousters are better. That's how you stop cover ups. . . . tinyurl.com/3etft89a
