They made very explicit rape and death threats against me, even leaving detailed voicemail messages. I was forced into hiding.

This was due to the fact that I tweeted about environmental racism. One of the people who instigated the threats against me was Milo.

What happened to me was psychological terror. I was scared to be outside for weeks, even in another city.

I'll skip the details, but it was also very expensive. My life hasn't really been the same since. That was before the election.

More recently, after the election, I've had family members and friends verbally and physically attacked by white supremacists.

If you think 2017 is the right time in history for you to humanize white supremacists, then do. But don't cry about it as if you're at risk.

You stay wealthy and healthy and white. You're deemed objective in your analysis. We women of color? We're the ones actually at risk.

Stop crying about how risky this is for you. You're writing humanizing profiles of your Nazi friends. You made that choice. Go live with it.
