Good morning everyone,
This is such an important day I could hardly sleep. I was up in the middle the night thinking about all the survivors stories I read this week. Millions & millions of women who’ve been raped, abused, harassed, intimidated and degraded. I shed a few tears.

I keep coming back to the same thought. The attitude of the Republican Party, of the entrenched corrupt members of power, all these sick (mostly) old (mostly) white men is this:
“Fuck you. We get to abuse you.”
It’s that simple.
“Fuck you. We get to abuse you.”
It’s that simple.
When you boil down all the lies and evasions, rationalizations, attacks on character, bad-faith pedantic arguments, they simply do not add up.
It’s just a melee of of half-truths and brutal attacks.

If they wanted the truth, there would be an FBI investigation.
If it was about some Christian principle then principled Christians would demand another nominee.
Something else is at work.

They are afraid.
Afraid they will no longer be above the law.
The fear is that if ONE woman can stop them, then ANY woman can stop them.
That if they take this claim seriously, then the flimsy rationale upon which they have built an entire power structure will be exposed.

And I just want to say, good. I'm glad they're afraid. I'm proud of all the women who've come forward. I'm proud that the #MeToo movement has restored some balance to the equation and struck some fear into the hearts of these men. They should be afraid. It's about God damn time.
So, we may not win today. I have deep hope that we will. But I know we will win eventually, in the Mid-terms, in 2020, soon and forever. We will not go backwards. We can't. We won't.
So it's morning where I am. It's morning in America.
This is a fight. Let's do this.
