The two guilty verdicts in the rape trial of celebrity Scientologist Danny Masterson are a relief.

The women who survived Danny Masterson's predation are heroes. For years, they and their families have faced vicious attacks and harassment from Scientology and Danny's well-funded legal team. Nevertheless, they soldiered on, determined to seek justice. While it is up to them to decide whether they are satisfied with this verdict, I am relieved that Danny Masterson is facing some justice after over two decades of brutal sexual violence with no criminal consequences.

To Chrissie Bixler, whose count ended in a hung jury, I know Danny raped you; I know that Scientology tried to destroy you. However, this case would not have moved forward and resulted in two guilty verdicts if it were not for you. I am sorry you didn't receive a guilty verdict on your charges; you deserved one. But please never forget that justice would not have been served if it were not for you.

Although Scientology and its leader, David Miscavige, were not formal defendants, they played a significant role in obstructing justice in this case and other instances of sexual violence.

Senior Scientology officials, civilian Scientologists, and their proxies have conspired to silence victims and intimidate witnesses for decades.

This case is just the beginning of our plan to hold them accountable.

I speak only for myself when I want to thank Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller, Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Ariel Anson, and their staff for their relentless pursuit of justice for the last six years.

I want to thank Judge Charlaine Olmedo for her professionalism and for not allowing Scientology's antics to disrupt this trial.

While I am often issuing harsh statements against the LAPD, in this case, I want to thank the LAPD detectives in this case. They faced relentless harassment from Scientology as well and kept moving forward.

Finally, to the jury, thank you for seeing the truth. Thank you for not allowing emotions to get in the way of cold hard facts. Thank you for showing Scientologists (former and current) that justice is not only possible, but that they should come to expect it.

And thank you to all of you who have supported the women who faced hell to fight for justice. Every reply, every retweet, every like...it all mattered.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Polio and smallpox never reached natural herd immunity. They were eradicated by vaccines.

Thanks for all the company during long commutes, @Eminem! I'm surprised how many hours I spent on Spotify. And with 191 different artists and 13 genres! But only one artist made my top 5 songs. 😍 #SpotifyWrapped #eminem

Partisans present the problem as defeating the other side. But the underlying problem is how weak and unrepresentative our democratic institutions are due largely to an artificial duopoly that commands little genuine loyalty among a majority of citizens.

Can’t imagine why people wouldn’t be rushing to the polls to vote for Democrats 🤔

Change my mind: Almost every heartwarming story is actually a systemic failure papered over with individual kindness.

69 percent of Democrats say they trust the media. That number drops to 36 percent of independents and only 15 percent of Republicans.

“OMG! @AndrewYang went and tried to promote his unifying values with people that disagree with me! I know America is too polarized… but how DARE he talk to someone on THAT side!!!”

Did @AndrewYang just make jianbings and boba while answering questions about the future of America? YES. He's back to answer Q's about his regrets, failures, successes and new political party (30 min interview)

We have the capacity to build a future we can be excited about, for ourselves and our families. United, we can move America #Forward and align the incentives of our people and our representatives.

If you think the current approach is working well, I’m definitely not your guy.

You know what we could really use? 18 year term limits for members of Congress in each House. 75% of Americans agree with this - it would modernize our representation and diminish the gerontocracy.

[Keith Vartanian 🧢⬆️🇦🇲 @keith_vartanian]

To everyone taking a massive crapola on @AndrewYang this morning -

Did you watch the actual interview where he details what this party is?

"A presidential run is the furthest thing from my mind with this".

It is about activating ballot initiatives that are pragmatic.
