The RedState editor who published nude photos of Rep. Katie Hill ID'd herself as an incoming "campaign manager" for one of Hill's 2020 challengers, @calebecarma reported yesterday.

Here's a copy of that email, and a few additional nuggets of info:https://t.co/Ak1aJ9bgY2
So wait? The death by revenge-porning of Katie Hill's House career by way of loads of pics happens to have been political and not just the fuckery of an abusive ex?
I am an "old"--it just never would occur to me to send nudes to people because whoa! the difference to me! hits me like I was online at a time when I already had a good job and never wanted the hassle of so much drama occurring where it could be forwarded to someone inconvenient. (Notwithstanding I have written so much fanfic porn.) It's just bad operational security from my POV. But I have a simple rule--body-shaming and selfie-shaming are out of bounds. It doesn't matter if that person is a young lefty or an old righty. It is never okay to rip someone for having a body that is sometimes naked that you want to share with someone you think cares about you. That vulnerability is something we all experience. I keep my nekkidness off the internets for the most part, but it isn't wrong to have a body. Or to share pictures of it. It isn't wrong to have consensual relationships even if they aren't conventional pairings.
It is kind of weird that formerly jailed Russian-influenced personage George Papadopoulos is now seeking Katie Hill's seat. Like he sort of knew fuckery would eliminate the main opponent. Weird, right?
I call what happened to Hill straight-up fuckery. It should not have been this way--and she should not have felt like she had to resign in order to prevent nameless others from fucking about with her naked images.
I don't know who she has to sue, but I genuinely hope some motherfucker gets their ass sued off over this.

I hope she names them all in a suit... ex-husband, publisher, political opportunist.
She shouldn't have resigned. The are all adults, what they do in their bedroom is their own business, none of the daughter-fuckers. I dislike with an intensity bordering upon the irrationally emotional that she is but the latest in a long list of examples - Al Gore, John Kerry, John Kitzhaber, Hillary Clinton - of backing down in the face of reich-wing bullying. The ratfuckery was clear before she resigned. Of course all of this is supposition, she would have had to have the party have her back. And as we have seen, that just isn't so.
It's infuriating. Her final speech to the floor, she describes the photos as being taken without her knowledge or consent, that she couldn't leave the house, that she felt scared. This is beyond politics; it's a violation of her as a human being. They would have dribbled those pics out bit by bit just wringing the life out of her. It is just the lowest thing.
