1/21 BIDEN, KAVANAUGH, AND “DUE PROCESS” THREAD

Liberals supporting Joe Biden today, like far-right supporters of arch-reactionary Kavanaugh in 2018, have been throwing around the phrase “due process” as part of their rape apologetics.

#NeverBidenNeverTrump
2/21 Both Biden and Kavanaugh are powerful white males credibly accused of rape. Rather than scrutinize these men for their lecherous conduct, their partisans hide behind the phrase “due process”.

#NeverBidenNeverTrump
3/21 Let’s talk about due process for a second. The US Constitution discusses it in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The guarantee is that no one shall be “deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law.”

You know how we got here to begin with makes me sick.

Trump sexual predator telling Kavanaugh angry drunk rapist to sue his victims for liable!

@GOP keeping records hidden during the hearings so they could overthrow #WomensRights!

#ImpeachTheMF #MeToo

He lied about knowing #DeborahRamirez & we undoubtedly know he lied about raping #ChristineBlaseyFord!

I came out with my story of #WhyIDidntReport after keeping it in since I was 16 all because of the bravery of #ChristineBlaseyFord.

. @Sen_JoeManchin I was sexually assaulted 12 years ago at age 20. The day it happened, I felt so strong and free because I was 1 year, to the day, cancer free. I went out that night with a group I knew and trusted to celebrate my strength and survival..
@Sen_JoeManchin He said we were all moving from the bar to his apartment for a party. I trusted him and drove him there. He slipped something in a drink for me. I felt myself becoming numb, and tried to run from the apartment. He took my keys and threw them.
I was taught growing up that "No means no." I pushed back, I said no, I SCREAMED no. He assured me that I wanted it. I panicked in my mind, I screamed, but I had no strength against him. I went to a different place in my mind in order to endure what was happening to me.

Dr. Ford’s brave testimony today gave hope to survivors everywhere. I cannot imagine a more compelling witness. #IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord
Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony demonstrated he lacks both the judgment and the temperament Americans expect from a #SCOTUS Justice. The best that can be said of his testimony is that it was strikingly evasive.
The clear contrast between these two witnesses – one composed individual who gave thorough answers based on a clear recollection of her trauma, and another who repeatedly dodged questions – will be seared into Americans’ memories for generations.

Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement makes him seem overtly political. Not a good look for a Judge hoping to be a Supreme Court Justice. #KavanaughHearings
HOLY SHIT!!! Did Brett Kavanaugh really just say this is a political hit by the Clintons?!! Really?! The GOP playbook is so predictable, and getting old, when in doubt blame the email lady. #KavanaughHearings
I cant even pay attention to the rest of Brett Kavanaugh's opening statement I am still dumbfounded that Kavanaugh really just said that this is a plot by the Clintons. How, why, what? How could HRC have orchestrated this? Its just utterly ridiculous. #KavanaughHearings

Listening to Dr Ford's testimony and her recount of the assault had me in tears at my desk today. Those who wonder how she cannot remember certain details but has clarity on others, hear me out... #IAmASurvivor #MeToo
I can remember the bedroom location just to the right of the second floor bathroom. #IAmASurvivor
I can remember flashes of someone on top of me despite my resistance. #IAmASurvivor

We're live-tweeting the #KavanaughHearings. It'll be a tough day for too many of us, so we're asking everyone to take time to care for yourself today. For some guidance, check out our webinar, "Self Esteem, Self Expression, and Self Love for Activists":
Pitiful that @ChuckGrassley opens with saying that *both* Dr. Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh have had a bad couple weeks. One came forward with a painful truth, the other faced a reckoning for multiple allegations of abuse. #KavanaughHearings #BelieveSurivors
Thus begins @ChuckGrassley's cognitive dissonance regarding when, why, and how survivors come forward. We should control our stories and who they're shared with. #BelieveSurvivors #KavanaughHearings

#ItsTime we all speak out against bullies, harassment, and *isms, show our anger, & hold people accountable. hollywoodreporter.com/amp/news/desig…
I'm angry that my management team on @azurecat valued the team bully over everyone else. He bullied us regularly & was rewarded. Even when I reported him for sexual harassment, even when MS found him guilty. I'm angry & it's taken me years to say it.
I'm angry that friends who knew about the harassment made excuses for the harasser, some even abandoned me. Many told me to suck it up, stick it out, and move on as if nothing happened.
