DC PEOPLE: Go to the Supreme Court *now* to join the protest tonight as Trump announces his pick. We’ll be there for hours. Let’s start this fight with a roar.

Trump just nominated Brett Kavanaugh, GOP lifer turned hard-right judge, noted for arguing that presidents shouldn’t be bothered by trifles like subpoenas and criminal investigations. If you believe nobody is above the law, it’s time to fight.

See you at the Supreme Court.
Anti-abortion demonstrators, who know full well that a vote for Kavanaugh is a vote to end Roe and criminalize abortion, are out in force at SCOTUS.

Want to defend reproductive freedom? Come on out to the Supreme Court now.
Don’t let anyone tell you there’s no path to winning this fight. It won’t be easy. But we have no further to look than the list of senators who declined Trump’s invitation tonight.
Watch the live feed of the SCOTUS protest here. (Or if you’re close to DC, just come to the Supreme Court now.) facebook.com/moveon/videos/…
Pro-justice folks out in force tonight.
Bernie up
Took this shot of the protest against Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court steps. That building behind the demonstrators: that’s where the votes will be cast. But it’s in the states—especially Maine and Alaska—where this battle will be won.
There’s a counterprotestor here chanting “Overturn Roe!” through a megaphone as speakers speak. I used my turn at the mic to thank him for making the stakes clear.
You’ll soon hear a lot of GOP operatives & analysts claiming that Kavanaugh wouldn’t kill Roe. Don’t believe it. Anti-choice activists have been building towards this moment for 45 years. Trump knows that if his justices don’t deliver, his base stays home in 2020. This is it.
If you think workers should be able to organize, fight Kavanaugh.

If you think we should be able to regulate banks to prevent the next meltdown, fight Kavanaugh.

If you think we should be able to restrict toxic pollution, fight Kavanaugh.

Choice. Equality. Democracy.

Fight.
