Il y a 30 ans, le Sénat avait confirmé de justesse Clarence Thomas, juge conservateur radical à la #CourSuprême malgré les accusations d'harcèlement sexuel d'Anita Hill. Depuis son influence n'a cessé de croître, surtout après le mandat de son ami #Trump washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
2. Et cette semaine, quand la #CourSuprême tiendra audience sur la loi anti-#avortement du #Mississippi dans le cas Dobbs v Jackson Health, Thomas aura l'opportunité de parvenir au projet d'1 vie judiciaire: le renversement de la jurisprudence Roe/Casey. washingtonpost.com/politics/court…
3. Clarence Thomas, en 1992, lors de son 1er terme à la #CourSuprême, avait considéré dans l'opinion minoritaire de Casey que l'arrêt Roe v Wade avait été "mal décidé". Il l'a de nouveau écrit l'an dernier dans son opinion dissidente de l'arrêt June Medical Services v Russo...

(2/7) In the 1990s, George Bush appointed Clearance Thomas to the supreme court. During the confirmation hearings, it was revealed that Thomas had sexually assaulted a lawyer named Anita Hill.

(3/7) Biden, despite being a Democrat, viciously smeared Anita Hill. He attacked her repeatedly when she testified against Thomas in the Senate.
No one could figure out why Biden, a Democrat, would engage in such dirty and vicious attacks, on behalf of Republicans.

OMG.
How is this not disqualifying on its face?
Eastland never called #Biden "boy" because he wasn't black. I guarantee you he called black men "boy" and worse.
Why are we on a nostalgia tour of the Jim Crow era with Biden?

This is as terrible as #Biden's stance on abortion, his assurances that Pence and Cheney are actually really nice guys and that #AnitaHill should just get over herself already.
My parents--Biden's generation-- were Civil Rights workers. Talmadge and Eastland who #Biden invoked with fondness tonight, were notorious. These were not names to drop with nostalgia. These men were purveyors of white supremacy. They were no different than Trump. Just smarter.
TWENTY EIGHT YEARS of #ClarenceThomas (mis)interpreting the Constitution to enforce an extremist right wing POV on the American legal system. If #JoeBiden had allowed witnesses for #AnitaHill to speak, instead of making a deal with the GOP, Thomas might never have been confirmed.
Let's not forget how #ClarenceThomas got on the Supreme Court.

I went to bed feeling betrayed--perhaps even enraged. I woke up, still feeling betrayed--but resolved. I still believe #AnitaHill. I still believe #ChristineBlaseyFord I still believe #survivors #women They have knocked us down, but not out. I still believe in the power of us.
Our perpetrators tried to stifle our voices too--and, WE ARE NOT GOING BACK. We will not be silenced or moved. Today, survivors will keep organizing, sharing our painful and hard truths until the very last hour, and then we'll take our fight to the ballot box.
Survivors matter and we do vote--and run for office too! We have been ignored, but not silenced #midterms A vote to support #Kavanaugh confirms more than one man, to the highest court in the land, you are also confirming #privilege #entitlement #injustice
#AnitaHill women have increased in workplaces. But rules still haven't changed to reflect that.
Mentions Lily Ledbetter case and #NotoriousRBG role. Men on SCOTUS understand how Ledbetter didn't know shr was paid less and why Ledbetter didn't raise issue earlier.

#AnitaHill : RBG influenced Congress by focusing on human element. We have to focus on human element to get laws changed.
Focus on how value comes from workers, not arbitrary stock or other values.
And yes RBG is #NotoriousRBG

Keeping workers safe and thriving is important. Public sector not leading ethically and so corporations can.
500 corporations have made pledges to do work around diversity, sex harassment, and some are doing it.

Needed this community, this speaker, after witnessing questioning of Dr Ford and Kavanaugh.

no female up for supreme court justice would be able to be vulnerable in the same way" -talking about Judge Kavanaugh being able to cry and be angry in a way we would never allow a woman up for the job. #gracehopper2018 #GHC18 #GHC #AnitaHill #Keynote
Women need to have authenticity (emotions, personality) in how we do our work, and we are in a system that does not allow us to have it, but does for men. -#AnitaHill #gracehopper2018 #Ghc #GHC18
1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh
⚖️ 1. Let’s just get some FACTS straight about Kavanaugh because @SenFeinstein @SenWhitehouse @KamalaHarris @CoryBooker @SenatorLeahy @maziehirono @SenBlumenthal @amyklobuchar have been working overtime to lie
📌 @ChuckGrassley says allegations deserve serious attention.
📌 @ChuckGrassley says allegations deserve serious attention.
2. 📌@SenFeinstein has refused to provide the Committee with the original letter even the @FBI copy provided is redacted #ConfirmKavanaugh
3. 📌@ChuckGrassley has offered FIVE different options for #ChristineBlaseyFord to testify including having his staff fly to California or wherever else she would like. @CNN @maddow @MSNBC
Let’s be clear. The .@FBI is already conducting #BrettKavanuagh background check. Same for all Supreme Court nominees. #ChristineBlaseyFord is simply asking that they include her claim in their normal course of work, so that the facts that Kavanaugh is judged by are confirmed. 1/
27 years ago the White House ordered the FBI to investigate #AnitaHill’s claim against @JusticeThomas67. This is #BASIC. The investigation was complete within 3 days. 2/
GOP is saying #ChristineBlaseyFord “is in no position” to dictate parameters of her testimony. #NO! 37 yrs ago Blasey Ford was #innoposition to control her attackers. Today she is standing in her power. She is demanding basic respect. #FACTSFIRSTTHENHEARING #dealwithit #SCOTUS 3/

Youngs need to be told Biden got a big shiny rehab by Barack.
He was VILE to Anita Hill in front of her 80 year old BLACK country church proper one generation removed from SLAVERY parents. It was vile.

Rape apologists love to try to intimidate survivors. #KavanaughConfirmation
Dear not alive during #AnitaHill:
Those hearings terrorized us as we sat transfixed, knowing for a fact we would not be believed
or given a fair chance to tell our stories of rape and harassment
In America or in front of the United States Senate.

#KavanaughConfirmation and his fascist Theocrat cronies Grassley and Orrin Hatch simply following the crucifixion of Anita Hill model of Trotting out dude after dude who told us that Clarence Thomas “wasn’t” a porn addicted rapist. #longDongSilver
During the Anita Hill hearings a sharp line emerged between women who had been raped and harassed
and those who hadn’t yet reconciled and named their experiences.
Women in denial called Anita a bitch.
The rest of us wore buttons
because her story was our story.
