This is why I love my Yale Advisor, Jason Stanley.

Yale Philosophy Professor Jason Stanley is a brilliant and kind man, a man of principles, of integrity. He has steadfastly stood by my side during the past almost 4 year hellish nightmare that I have been enduring and barely survived.

Everyone who participated in the Witch Hunt and Mob at Yale that almost got me, an innocent Yale grad student and lifelong civil rights attorney, killed, everyone who waged a campaign to ruin me, by getting me fired, expelled, disbarred, de-platformed, un-personed, and prosecuted, is a hypocrite and bigot and evil liar and charlatan and fraud.

What they did to Ilya Shapiro is also what they did to me. I posted a tweet where I was very clearly stating that I don’t not hold Black women accountable for participating in the Witch Hunt at Yale, because this would be the bigotry of low expectations. I respect their moral agency and their choices. I’m not a racist harasser or stalker, and I’m not attacking Black women, because I hold them responsible for their actions. I hold everyone who tried to mob me to suicide, repeatedly, including on Twitter, responsible for their actions, regardless of race or sex. And the lowlife scum, who now don’t want to face accountability for being the monsters that they are, twisted my words and accused me of racism.

Just like they did to Ilya Shapiro.

If you participate in a Woke KKK Cancel Culture mob, you are not just trying to get someone fired, you are trying to drive your target to suicide. And, in the event that you are unable to actually drive them to suicide, you are trying to subject them to Social Death.

We know this now. Everyone knows this. There is no denying it. The suicides are stacking up. And, now there’s another one: Chadwick Seagraves.

It’s just like Anne Applebaum said in her piece in The Atlantic: suicide is an obvious result of these social media moral outrage mobbings, of Trial by Twitter without Due Process.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I am beside myself with grief.

I can’t save anyone else. I can’t even save myself.

4 years after the perfectly obvious Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale, and I still live inside of a hellish nightmare without end. I’m either still subject to campaigns to destroy what semblance of my life remains and to drive me to suicide, like Richard Painter’s now 4 and a half month campaign to bring about my death, or I’m being gaslighted and people just pretend that I’m not still alive and that I don’t still exist and that I’m not still screaming the TRUTH about the witch hunt at Yale that almost got me killed from the mountaintops.

I am the nobody, the True Whistleblower, whose life has been destroyed, speaking Real TRUTH to Power.

I am still routinely defamed in the Fake News Press, including USA Today, and on Thanksgiving no less, when they tried to lynch me (according to the NAACP’s definition of a lynching) by comparing me to Ahmaud Arbery’s killers.

Well, at least they didn’t compare me to Hitler, like Richard Painter did, and on Christmas no less.

I will have so much more to say about this tomorrow.

I just wanted to state definitively — I stand with Ilya Shapiro.

Everyone attacking him is an evil, lying bigot and charlatan and hypocrite and fraud, including Popehat on Twitter.

He’s the worst.

I have always said — Wokeness is thinly veiled contempt for the poor, especially poor white trash like me.

Everyone is up in arms right now, ranting and raving about how it’s good that Biden renewed his commitment to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, in the wake of Justice Breyer’s announced retirement, because almost everyone on the Supreme Court graduated from Yale or Harvard, and we need diversity of life experience represented on the Supreme Court. Yale and Harvard and the rest of the Ivy League are elitists, out of touch with the lived reality of most Americans.

I’m not going to address the obvious conceptual conflation of Black and Poor, as well as White and Rich.

I want to talk about how nearly everyone ranting and raving about this today participated in the Woke Witch Hunt at Yale that almost got me, an innocent Yale grad student and lifelong civil rights attorney, killed, and destroyed my life, my career, my reputation, and my livelihood. I’m struggling to survive. I’m struggling just to stay alive.

Even the evil, lying bigots and charlatans and frauds on ABC’s The View were ranting and raving about this today, including Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Sara Haines.

If you participated in the Woke Witch Hunt at Yale, I have news for you: You are the elitist who saw me as a suitable poor white trash interloper sacrifice to the Woke gods, to further and advance your career.

If you participated in the Woke Witch Hunt at Yale, I have news for you: you are the Power to whom I am speaking Real Truth.

I got into the PhD Program in Philosophy at Yale based upon extraordinary merit alone, and despite extreme disadvantage: a lifetime of egregious trauma, poor, mental health disabilities, sexual assault survivor, barely survived a hellish childhood in a religious cult and a sexually, physically, and emotionally/verbally abusive family. Both of my biological brothers are dead. Jacob killed himself after he had just turned 24, because my father told him to. Aaron froze to death on his own doorstep, due to mixing his anti-psychotic meds with alcohol; he was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic. My de facto brother, Sean, also committed suicide.

And, I’m a white woman.

So, because I’m a white woman who was perceived as a crazy, old, poor white trash interloper at Yale, the Yale Administration, including Yale President Peter Salovey, thought I was the perfect, completely expendable nobody loser to cast in the role of their Nazi, to justify their vast, new Maoist bureaucracy for snitching on one another anonymously over alleged racial harassment, with not a stitch of Due Process in sight. (Yale decided against establishing a Title VI office on campus, because they don’t actually care if Black and Brown students feel safe or welcome or a sense of “Belonging at Yale.” They only care about not honoring the Due Process rights of their patsies, their sacrificial lambs, or, rather, poor black sheep. I know. You’re shocked.)

As I have also always said: most of Wokeness is jealous Mean Girls destroying the more talented and successful competition, especially if they’re crazy, old poor white trash like me.

I also dared to be an unWoke civil libertarian who defends the Federal Civil Rights, the religious expression rights, of Evangelical Black men at Yale. And, I had the temerity to infiltrate the inner sanctum, so, of course, I had to be ousted as a heretical apostate. For this, I was ostracized and widely despised at Yale, and not just by the other philosophy grad students, who would leave a room, if I entered it, but across campus. My being persona non grata at Yale was also why I experienced multiple instances of harassment in Yale grad student housing.

But, this isn’t just the case for the Yale Administration and Student Body and Government, and faculty like Yale Sociology Professor Elijah Anderson, as well as Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken and Yale Law School Professor and Justice Collaboratory Member, Monica C. Bell.

Everyone who participated in the Woke Witch Hunt at Yale was playing institutional gatekeeper, from University of South Carolina Philosophy Professor and Daily Nous blogger, Justin Weinberg, to NYU Social Psychologist Jonathan Haidt, to Roxane Gay, who was awarded a Yale Visiting Professorship from Yale President Peter Salovey, and all she had to do was help him try to get me killed. Thank goodness no one could care if I die, because I’m a crazy, old poor white trash nobody loser. That was convenient.
