I can't remember a time in the military when I wasn't sexually harassed: followed home, spied on, called all hours of the night, propositioned, groped...When I'd report it, the men laughed or said handle it yourself.Then, I was raped & punished for reporting.

A year later, when returning from Iraq, I was offered that promotion, in my rapist's office. With 9 years of stellar service, I walked away, knowing there was nothing but continued sexual harassment and assault in my military future. #JusticeForVanessaGullien#IAMVANESSAGUILLEN
I can't remember a time in the military when I wasn't sexually harassed: followed home, spied on, called all hours of the night, propositioned, groped, on and on. When I'd report, the men laughed at me. Finally, I was raped by my boss.
When I turned him in, leadership came down hard...on me. They opened numerous investigations against me and multiple leaders worked together to take a promotion from me. I went to everyone for help and was always pointed somewhere else.
Remember when Trump thought it wasn't fair a president could only serve two terms and he wanted to change it so he could be president forever?
Can he just change that law already? I'm ready to vote Obama in for a third term.
I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real changeโโand pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv
President Obama provided a much needed moment of clarity and comfort in these uncertain times. Congrats class of 2020! What an honor to have Barack Obama as your commencement speaker. #PresidentBarackObama
Congrats to the high school Class of 2020, as well as to the teachers, coaches, and most of all, parents and family whoโve guided you along the way. Thanks for letting me be part of your big day!
