Formerly USA Today. Author of a book on women and online abuse: TO THOSE WHO HAVE CONFUSED YOU TO BE A PERSON (Crown). https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/737402/to-those-who-have-confused-you-to-be-a-person-by-alia-dastagir/
When I interviewed @lindseyboylan.bsky.social for my book on online abuse, she told me women were among her most vicious attackers. The @nytimes.com reported the activists smearing Lindsey and Andrew Cuomo’s other accusers were quietly led by Madeline Cuomo, his sister.
