. @GavinNewsom it is imperative that you sign SB 493 to protect the rights of victims of sexual assault and harassment in CA colleges. @EleniForCA

I want to introduce you to the Trumpers who oppose this bill. They pretend to be "just moms of sons." So let& #39;s meet them.

Cynthia Garrett heads an org called "FACE."

I invite you to pay a visit to Cynthia Garrett& #39;s twitter account and peruse the various bizarre right-wing nonsense purveyed there, including retweets of Charlie Kirk, who runs TPUSA, a group listed on @splcenter& #39;s hate watch.

FACE is featured here as a men& #39;s rights group with a large influence on DeVos& #39;s gutting of Title IX. Far from just being "regular ol& #39; moms" the leader of this org& #39;s twitter is a shooting firehose of far-right and pro-Trump sewage/ https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/betsy-devos-title-ix-mens-rights/">https://www.thenation.com/article/p...

How Men’s Rights Groups Helped Rewrite Regulations on Campus Rape

E-mails shared with The Nation reveal a deep collaboration between the Department of Education and organizations that believe in a crisis of false rape allegations.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett promoting Trump& #39;s nomination for the Nobel Prize.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett promoting whatever the hell this is.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting "Judge Jeanine Pirro Fans" attacking our CA Senator and nominee for VP Kamala Harris.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting an attack on our CA Congressman @RepSwalwell for telling the truth about COVID -- Garrett is retweeting COVID denialism.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting a victim blaming attack on a woman who was sexually harassed, saying that she should "wear a different dress."

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett tweeting out an attack on critical race studies, and supporting Trump& #39;s attack on bias training.

And here she is promoting a tweet that compares Academy Award diversity rules to -- and I am not making this up -- Nazism.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett tweeting Q-Anon type conspiracy theories about Michelle Obama.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting that Trump is a "powerful bulwark against Islamism." So that& #39;s has fuckall to do with just being a "due process" advocate.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting anti-masker "Rally for Freedom" right wing "activist" Robby Starbuck.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting someone blaming Californians for wildfires and calling us "tree hugging morons." I think this tweet is partly aimed at you @GavinNewsom but hey crazy gonna crazy.

Cynthia Garrett is not "just a mom" advocating due process. This is an operative who promotes the likes of Charlie Kirk, who promotes COVID denialism, and who promotes Donald Trump above all else.

@GavinNewsom women are counting on you. Sign SB493 @knowyourIX @EqualRightsAdv

Apparently we can add Q-Anon adherents and evidently anti-Semitic Lizard People conspiracy theorists to the basket of deplorables who oppose SB 493.

@GavinNewsom women demand justice for rape survivors now. Sign the bill today. @EqualRightsAdv

Also there is "Alice True," which may not even be a real person& #39;s name. "Alice" is legit QAnon. She also runs a conspiracy website called Save Our Sons that has a whole #BrockTurnerTruther website. This is who Betsy DeVos listened to in gutting Title IX. @RepSwalwell

Survivors were discounted while actual Q-Anon people were helping to gut Title IX. That is where we are right now and why we badly need SB 493 to be signed into law, @GavinNewsom.

Do not be fooled by fake "due process" talk. These are supporters of the pussy-grabber in chief

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett belittling Southern Poverty Law Center, and apparently defending her retweet of Charlie Kirk.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett defending sex felon offender #BrockTurner as just "a typical drunk teenager having sex with a drunk woman."

Not sure what a typical teen looks like in her house.

Betsy DeVos listened to Garrett, along with her QAnon pal "Alice True" when gutting Title IX

Here& #39;s supposed "due process" advocate retweeting A-Anon pal "Alice True" against undocumented immigrants.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting JAMES FUCKING WOODS spreading misinformation about the USPS. This is who Betsy DeVos listened to instead of survivors.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett promoting hydroxchlorquine and other COVID misinformation. @GavinNewsom, please ignore this kook and sign SB493. Women and survivors are counting on you.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting an attack on Anthony Fauci.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett tweeting out a demand that OCR investigate schools that teach critical race theory.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett, who poses as "just a mom of a son" concerned about fairness and due process, again retweeting known right wing conspiracy nut James Woods calling CNN "fake news."

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett tweeting out that minorities have lower SAT scores, arguing against affirmative action. She poses as just a concerned mom of a son who worries about due process while promoting Trump conspiracy theories and right wing causes.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett retweeting the idea that Black women are privileged and "at the top" of the "oppression pyramid." I feel like stabbing my eyes out from reading her twitter. Stop treating this person like she makes sense.

Here& #39;s supposed due process lawyer and "just a mom" Cynthia Garrett again retweeting her Q-Anon pal who may not even be a real human being, "Alice True," about some QAnon bullshit. This is who Betsy DeVos was listening to instead of respected women& #39;s rights orgs like @nwlc

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett defending Hoover& #39;s Scott Atlas, who has been repudiated for spreading false COVID info. Garrett herself is a Stanford parent, seems to closely track the Hoover line, and is just one more reason for abolishing Hoover.

Here& #39;s Cynthia Garrett tweeting out bizarre stuff about antifa demonstrators driving to Kenosha with blacked out license plates.

In sum (though I will continue to add to this thread if warranted), Betsy DeVos empowered people who tweet Q-Anon type conspiracy theoriest, anti-maskers, pro-Trump crackpots when dismantling 30 years of civil rights protection for women in schools and colleges.
