Real quickly I just wanted to clarify something. I know all of the abuse can be exhausting and as human beings we want to help. However we need to be careful. I think there are members of #SussexSquad who are concerned for the Sussexes and that is completely appropriate.
However we need to distinguish between two things.

(1) Strategy advice. I think this is what a lot of people want to weigh in on. Whether it's legal strategy or communications strategy folks want to help the Sussexes so they can "win." I think this is completely human and
some folks even have expertise in this area. Yet, I think those giving advice should also admit that they do not have all of the facts before them and that there are very smart people working on this. Thus, your advice is not THE answer.

(2) Blaming the victim. I know sometimes
it's hard to draw this line, but please do not step over it. I think in trying to help some supporters who are tired of the abuse start to blame the Sussexes for it. Well if they hadn't done x, then y wouldn't have happened. Or if they would have listened to me when I said z they
wouldn't be suffering now. I personally do not want to hear any of this and I will come for you if you go there on any of my posts. Absolutely nothing that the Sussexes have done merit the abuse they have received. Any sins that could be laid at the feet of the Sussexes really go
back to the RF and in that case they should go after Betty and the people higher up. The Brits will never move me with going after the Sussexes while supporting the RF. That makes no sense.
All of that to say that people may agree or disagree with you on (1) but (2) is a nonstarter.

I generally prefer to stick to (3): supporting their efforts and showing how 98% of the criticism comes back to structural problems and isms.
