You might think I'm being harsh here, but she graduated from law school and is a native English speaker. If she's trying to present herself as a smart, professional woman , she should tweet in proper English. Here are some of the most interesting red flags that stood out to me:

"SWITCH AND BAIT" Just hilarious! She's defending herself from being called a Russian agent by screwing up a common English phrasepic.twitter.com/iIPdR0Wcjl

This makes more sense if you read it in a Russian accent.pic.twitter.com/iVZigmPR7W

She is avid NPR listener who doesn't quite have the hang of how we use articles in English.pic.twitter.com/gT2iGcUhfv

She uses the phrase "soliciting funds" a LOT. PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY WITH PRIVATE MESSAGE.pic.twitter.com/3niJar38Co

She has "medical and education debt". And a lot of otherwise poor grammar.pic.twitter.com/9hFftuubAs

For contrast, here is a piece of writing that was confirmed to have been written by Tara. It has phrases like "the eucalyptus swayed in the gentle morning breeze"...and she clearly enjoys writing in a flowery/wordy style. The polar opposite of her Twitter style.pic.twitter.com/EEgN65OA27

Now scroll back up and compare it to how she speaks now. Either she lost fluency in English or someone else is writing her tweets.

Here's another article we can reasonably assume was written by her.pic.twitter.com/I8Ukuv7xDI

Those scribbles on my screenshots are red flags. I was just marking the best examples out of the bunch. I wasn't able to say "this sounds okay" and keep scrolling past very many of her tweets!

I am overwhelmed you guys! I thought the ratio of supporters: this
gif was going to be like 1:10.
I fully support Tara's right to have her claims investigated, and so does Biden. But it sure seems like she isn't writing her own tweets while telling her story, so who IS and why?pic.twitter.com/ZjUxlPnGJyShow this thread -

Good closer to this thread by
@Saerbhreathach_. It's totally normal to tell everyone you're "not a Russian agent" that frequently.https://twitter.com/Saerbhreathach_/status/1255837236882522114?s=19 …

I particularly like this one too.https://twitter.com/ReadeAlexandra/status/1239409070051692545?s=19 …

I'm really surprised she hasn't blocked me yet! Nor has she threatened me with any of these other very legal & very cool DMs that others have received.

Has Tara ever used a contraction like "I'm" or "don't" or "they'll" on Twitter? Whoever writes these things must be allergic to them. If she's trying to save characters, instead of dropping the articles (like in Russian) she should consider contracting some of the words.pic.twitter.com/zVuBjTmArN

FOLLOW UP Here is what Twitter did about the death threats and doxx attempts, 4 days later... They removed one of the death tweets but they didn't even restrict that guy's account. End of list.https://twitter.com/lizburgh/status/1257148429593083907?s=19 …

Post Follow Up # 1: Nothing changed. But I did learn about these other gross tweets from one of the authors of one of the death threat towards me. These are still up despite being reported, too.pic.twitter.com/TcyDqkkypo

Post Follow Up #2: Tara's Quora account is a jackpot of weirdness. She only follows Russian propagandists. Her answers are all about social media success. https://www.quora.com/profile/Alexandra-Tara-Reade?ch=10&share=c5dc6f76&srid=jOyDq …pic.twitter.com/hqfzQDSQN5

Post Follow Up #3 A lot of people have asked (fairly) "This account isn't a blue check, why does it matter what they say?" Because Tara, in real life interviews, acts as if this is her account. She never corrects anyone or otherwise disowns this account https://twitter.com/KaivanShroff/status/1258912968122793986?s=19 …

Post Follow Up #4: Another thread with Jekyll & Hyde writing style examples...from 2011.https://twitter.com/lizburgh/status/1258614392704425984?s=19 …

Just popping back in for a minute to add this

Who wrote these tweets?

Here's an update with newer tweets from Tara's account (she hasn't tweet a whole lot since April). Who says "interview of me"?? Or "this came tonight" in reference to a DM? Most people would say "received this" or "got this" or "this showed up". Still so weird!pic.twitter.com/TG13ypuvCB

Here's a July update! Just a reminder that this woman did actually graduate from law school (undergrad, not so much). And she only speaks English. ______________________________ Should be "THE woman WHO wrote THIS article"... And dragged through "the mud".
