THREAD I suppose I need to state my belief on this for the record because it will save me time. Folks, I want to believe Kavanaugh wont be confirmed because even if you dont #BelieveHer, the man is not fit for the bench. #sorrynotsorry (Evidenced by his own behavior yesterday)
But I have zero trust that the people in Congress who need to do the right thing, will.
I often see people shocked! at the injustice of it all. For me, I am just totally too close to the situation to be shocked. About any of it.
I operate from doubt most of the time tho I am...

optimistic. Because I believe in the power of good people and progress. But I also have a good idea of how power works & I have watched congresspeople throw away their own voters interests time and time and time again. It isnt specific to one party, either.
Ppl on here assume a lot about each others beliefs/stmts. But I promise I am just here to give it to you straight. Not get your hopes up. Not lie to you. Theres no benefit in that for me. All I want is a more honest egalitarian world. But I know the power paradigm, well, doesn't.
But for that very reason, I get up every day and I push and I push and I try and I ask and I learn and I watch and I listen and I act. I have to because if I didnt keep fighting for what I think is good, just and humane, I would be too depressed. Life for me would be meaningless.
So, I hope things with Kavanaugh air on the right side of history. Id love to be proved wrong. Yesterday was a shameful day. But by God, if you're mad as hell! and you cant take it anymore! come to D.C. and show them what ur 1A can do. I'll be here. Ready to report.
