Finally slept.

For a few days when I'd sleep I was either having nightmares about #Kavanaugh or, and this was a first, having nightmares about having nightmares about #Kavanaugh.

My poor puppies didn't know what the hell was going on...

"IT'S A NEW DAY. "

1/
When people invoke platitudes like this it is usually done in order to being hope, to assert the positive aspects of what's ahead.

Not today.

There is nothing positive about this. We played the Super Bowl and we lost, but there is no rematch.

2/
Worse, one of the players for the other team is suddenly a fucking umpire and wants to review the tapes of all previous games and change some of the calls made by other, better umpires from games we had already won in the past.

It doesn't make sense.

None of it.

3/
They swore the bastard in as soon as they possibly could.

#AnthonyKennedy came to see it done. I imagine him watching & doing a few Mr. Burns' "Excellents," just to complete the scene.

Kennedy apparently is overjoyed to watch his own judicial legacy be completely undone.

#NovemberIsComing y'all.

Let that serve as both a warning and a reminder.

Let it become our mantra.

We know what needs to be done. We've talked about it, tweeted about it, and even cried about it.

Now we have to do it.

Against all the odds.

I'm going to address a couple points & then mute this comment thread.

If you don't think that @HillaryClinton or the people around her, many of whom were brilliant & socially conscious POC, didn't know of or understand the data you're referencing then you know nothing of HRC.
1/
You certainly don't seem to recall the finer details of 2016 and, despite your claims to understand the particular pressures she was under, refuse to give those pressures their proper due.

In an election filled with fake news & populist hyperbole from the far right & left..

2/
...an election that was overwhelmed by such virulent misogyny it actually started to feel normal, where Clinton was mocked for being too prepared, and was lectured for being too wonky, and where she was already offering some pretty nuanced and in depth arguments on race...

Not understanding your point. You expect that Clinton would come out on the losing end of such a comparison?

I totally disagree.

I've listened to @HillaryClinton speak passionately about race for three decades.

Race and racism were a central focus of her 2016 campaign.

1/
She didn't speak about it just every once in awhile @amikegreen, she spoke about it every single day of the campaign.

In fact, race and criminal justice was the topic of her first policy paper for the campaign, which she presented in April 2015.

2/
She continued making major speeches on the topic of race throughout the campaign.

Here again from June 2016.

It gives me hives. My blood pressure starts to climb. My mouth will sometimes go completely dry.

It's crazy I know, but there it is...

The thought that after everything we have been through, that she's been through, that another woman will get recognition as "First."

1/
2020 gives me a sour stomach, and it's only 2018. And yet from this distance I can see that @TheDemocrats are going to get the tone wrong in two years.

Nothing new.

In my dreams 2020 would be a taking back of 2016. It would be an acknowledgment that we / #SheWon.

2/
The convention would be as much about thanking @HillaryClinton as it would be her leading the mantle to whomever we nominate.

She would be introduced as the legitimate President of the United States, and she would introduce the nominee and pass the mantle to her / him.

(1) My new #Kavanaugh thread, starting 9/28/18.

Long 9/22/18 thread:

Short 7/9/18 thread:

🦅"What is right will eventually triumph" -Reagan🇺🇸

#WomenForKavanaugh #WomenForTrump #VoteGOP #WalkAway
(2) So things have been clear as mud for a few hours. I will attempt to explain what I think is happening. I am not worried about eventually winning this thing. Not at all.

(3) The FBI is merely updating the file. It is not investigating a crime, bc no one has provided a date, time, place, or ANY substantiating or corroborating evidence. We already know that Ford's 4 supposed witnesses deny her *claims*.

Please remember: A claim is just a claim.

Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.

Prepared Written Testimony of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh Nomination Hearing to Serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court September 27, 2018 (submitted September 26, 2018)
Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Feinstein, and Members of the Committee: Eleven days ago,
Dr. Ford publicly accused me of committing a serious wrong more than 36 years ago when we were both in high school. I denied the allegation immediately, unequivocally, and categorically. The next day, I told this Committee that I wanted to testify as soon as possible, under oath,
to clear my name. Over the past few days, other false and uncorroborated accusations have been aired. There has been a frenzy to come up with something—anything, no matter how far-fetched or odious—that will block a vote on my nomination. These are last-minute smears,

Know what people don't realize? The consequences that come with labeling someone, something they're not. Even if #Kavanaugh is proven innocent, the label itself will stick with him the rest of his life.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and my situation.....cont.
When I was 12. Maybe 13. I had one good friend that I hung out with. Day In and Day Out. We were inseparable. He stayed with me, I stayed with him. For some reason, even though he was the one who was considered the "bad kid", his parents never really liked me.....cont.
He got in trouble at a young age and was sent away. To where, I've never known. His little brother, a couple years younger, used to get bullied all the time. While my friend was away, I stuck around and protected the little brother. Even stayed and hung out a couple times...cont.

The worst part of these white and Latina GOP women saying these things is NOT ONCE did they offer concern about any victim of sexual assault.

The woman in the turtleneck, Lourdes, said she thought Kavanaugh had likely dumped Ford and she was getting back at him.

Awful.
Also, these aren't all just ladies off the street being asked these questions by @CNN. They are GOP operatives.

So this woman, Lourdes, who is floating the idea that Ford is a vengeful sociopath is actually working for the Republican Party.

As the good people of America continue our desperate hunt for Republican courage, I thought it would be a good time to share a (very long) thread about one of my Republican heroes, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith. /1
This is especially timely in light of the President’s mention of Joseph McCarthy, because Margaret Chase Smith dealt the first blow in what would be the death of McCarthyism. Read on; it’s long, but I promise it’s worth it. /2
Along the way, keep this quote (that Mark Twain likely never said) in mind: “History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” /3
