@Reuters I'm serious. What city in the US does @rosalbaob think is more known for its soccer culture than PNW cities Seattle or Portland OR? I really am very curious. There must be a reason behind making a statement like "not traditionally associated with soccer." Like, compared to who?

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@GodsH20Project @FLAHUSTLA @SamanthaDBrooks I guess thank goodness for right to work laws, huh. It's called you don't like it you can quit. That's what you guys tell everyone else.

@FLAHUSTLA @SamanthaDBrooks What could possibly be more accurate than asking an AI, which gets a lot of things wrong, if an image is AI, which gets a lot of things wrong?

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@Reuters @rosalbaob one wonders where in the US @rosalbaob thinks *has* been "traditionally associated with soccer" if it ain't the PNW.

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@Reuters I hope @rosalbaob is fully prepared to be dragged by the entire Vancouver-Seattle-Portland corridor for her horribly false claim "the Pacific Northwest is not traditionally associated with soccer." Don't reporters do research anymore?

@SamanthaDBrooks Nothing I like better to see a conservative come out against employers, workplace rules, and private property

@PurpSmokr @globeandmail that's not what was unclear. did you read the story?

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@globeandmail Help me understand: If the IRCC's own guidance was unclear, but, applicants followed that unclear guidance, then it is no fault of their own that their applications were errant. The correct solution is to fix it going forward, not penalize people for your own mistakes. #DiabOut

@theojaffee did you just try to suggest that what AI data centers are doing all day is just storing pictures?

@luiwesss @SoundersFC And yet somehow there is still more space in our lower level than your entire baseball stadium

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@TimbersFC Portland always proud to show off how there is literally nothing else worth doing in their city as a flex

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@BilalUTD14 @NOTLFCJ__ Iirc there was an advisory a couple years back that they avoid that because its like double jeopardy. So if penalty, yellow at best, typically, unless violent conduct level

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@GeneralYktv I guess after we have explained offside to everyone we will have to move on to DOGSO

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@timcliffsmith I mean he grabs him on one side and pushes him on the other and he's in on goal... what part of DOGSO is hard?

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@Vozinhasplinder The word of the day is DOGSO

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@11Yanks A lot of people still don't know what a DOGSO is

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@SeaTacAirport why are JWs proselytising outside sky bridge 3?

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@GabbyGabby222 @DerrickEvans4WV So it all makes sense. The government needs to own all the corporations to make us all safe. And they will make the trains run on time too, I bet.

[Keith Tyler @KeithTyler83112]

@fuboTV How do I get News and Sports plus Fubo Latino? I want both. I cannot find the Latino add-on.

Anyone who has ever extracted themselves from a relationship with a narcissistic abuser knows it isn’t clean or easy.

I cringe remembering how many times I tried to play the “cool girl” or fawn in response to what was clearly abusive, coercively controlling behavior by Graham.

I also know how dangerous it is to become the target of a narcissist — so even long after our relationship ended I continued to be upbeat any time he reached out, though I would also immediately shut down any attempts on his part to initiate flirting or romanticizing of the past.

Yes, the day I saw him announce he was running I wanted to make sure people knew he had a Nazi tattoo — and I was terrified he would find out it was me.

But of course he knew it was me.

What’s ironic is I absolutely never would have shared my story if he hadn’t been relentlessly attacking my character behind the scenes for months once the tattoo story came out.

I tried to signal that I wasn’t the source and stayed completely silent about him on social media even as most of my friends posted regularly about what a bad person he is.

But then in early April the New York Times came to me. I asked how they got my number. I said I was not interested in sharing my story. They said but wait—there are other women. Women terrified to tell their stories, too, and you need to band together. WE will help you. We will protect you. Men can’t keep getting away with this.

Hours before their first call to me I saw Eric Swalwell’s name plate get removed from his office door in Cannon. It felt like fate.

I welcomed the two journalists into my home days later, nervous and overwhelmed. Justin Fairfax had just murdered his wife and himself the previous day and even conservative pundits were conjecturing that “if only those women hadn’t accused him of abuse, this never would have happened…”

But I told them my story. I let them take pictures of my diary pages. I sent them screenshots of messages and gave them phone numbers and contacts. It was excruciating. I was surprised by what details I remembered, and as I poured through old messages I was horrified by how much I had forgotten.

I explained very clearly that, like many women abused by their partners, I had not told anyone about his violence at the time—I had covered for and defended it. I accepted his earnest apologies. They said that’s fine because the diary entries and my on the record story was enough.

They connected me to two of the other victims so we wouldn’t feel so alone. I insisted to each of them that I trusted the NYT journalists and that we were doing the right thing despite their (sadly very accurate) sense that something was wrong.

One of the victims and I realized our relationships with Graham overlapped completely - he had been cheating on both of us the entire time we were together.

I should note here that my life is just… beautiful. These are the best years of my life. Raising two young girls in a safe, beautiful neighborhood where I work from home and shuffle my children from dance classes and soccer to church events — I am blessed far beyond what I deserve with wonderful friends and family and the most loving, brilliant husband in the world. Why would I blow my life up like this? Why would I risk the psychotic doxxing from violent leftist activists?

Because while I have been terrified to come forward I decided this was the “hard right thing” to do. The guilt of staying silent has nagged me.

Most therapists recommend a “gray rock” approach to extracting yourself from narcissistic abuse — it works really well, but it is a gift to the abuser, allowing them to persist in their delusion that they’ve done nothing wrong.

I couldn’t stay silent as he continued to lie and lie and lie. I want my daughters to boldly speak out if they’re ever abused as I was.
