Today activists with @WeDemandJustice handed out flyers to Facebook employees in DC shaming the tech firm for sponsoring a gala honoring Brett Kavanaugh huffpost.com/entry/facebook…
@WeDemandJustice Demand Justice has been going after Facebook hard -- placing targeted ads + passing out flyers to FB employees -- over its “Gold Circle” sponsorship of a Federalist Society gala that honored Brett Kavanaugh.

It's the highest level sponsorship. huffpost.com/entry/facebook…
@WeDemandJustice “In funding Brett Kavanaugh’s redemption tour, Facebook’s leaders have chosen profits over survivors.... Until there is justice for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, we will be holding people accountable when they use their power to rehabilitate Kavanaugh.” huffpost.com/entry/facebook…
@WeDemandJustice At least 1 person has quit Facebook after learning it sponsored the Fed Society gala for Kavanaugh: Neil Young!

Between this sponsorship and “the false information regularly supplied to the public on Facebook, with its knowledge,” Young says he's out. huffpost.com/entry/facebook…

Good morning! ☕️ After months of delays, Senate Republicans finally unveiled their Violence Against Women Act bill.

It rolls back protections for Native women who face unspeakable violence. It also strips out LGBTQ protections + a gun safety provision. huffpost.com/entry/violence…
Here's one way the GOP VAWA bill, led by Sen. Joni Ernst, hurts Native women already facing violence.

It basically gives domestic abusers the ability to say their own civil rights are being violated + blame the victim and tribal govt officials. huffpost.com/entry/violence…
Ernst’s bill also, insultingly, infringes on tribal sovereignty.

It requires new tribal court audits by the AG. It also gives non-Native domestic abusers on tribal land the ability to appeal to a fed court before the tribal govt is done prosecuting them. huffpost.com/entry/violence…

Speaking of Native American women facing appallingly high levels of violence, the Senate is finally holding a hearing today to discuss 2 bills -- Savanna's Act + Not Invisible Act -- relating to missing and murdered indigenous women. #MMIW

Should be starting soon.
It's a largely invisible crisis. 100s of Native American women are simply disappearing or being murdered.

There is next to no data available on what, exactly, is going on, either. huffpost.com/entry/lisa-mur…
Savanna's Act boosts coordination & data collection among tribal, local, state + federal law enforcement in cases involving missing & murdered Native women.

Sen. Murkowski told me her bill is a starting pt for addressing this. “We don’t even know what we don’t know with this."

There is a HUGE screen outside of Union Station right now featuring Christine Blasey Ford's testimony in the Senate -- as Brett Kavanaugh is inside speaking at the Federalist Society annual fundraiser dinner. Compliments of @WeDemandJustice
There are also handmaids standing outside the Federalist Society-Brett Kavanaugh dinner. As Federalist Society members pass by them in tuxedos.
Oh man. Anti-Kavanaugh protesters are shouting "I believe Dr. Ford! I believe Anita Hill!" right in the faces of Federalist Society members as they're stuck waiting in line for their gala to start. For who knows how long. #awkward

1. Warren has just put out her plan on the finances of M4A. @Robillard has the story (with a small assist from me). huffpost.com/entry/elizabet…
2. Remember, with M4A, health care spending shifts from individuals and employers (no more premiums & copays) over to the federal government.

Key questions:

(a) What does new program cost?
(b) Where does gov't get the money?
(c) Who comes out ahead, who doesn't?
3. On (a) -- how much it costs -- Warren envisions a program that would require $20T in new fed spending over the next decade. A lot of money, though substantially less than some other estimates have suggested M4A would require.

New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly said Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked them to lie about a proposed interview for their new book. huffpost.com/entry/new-york… # via @HuffPostPol
Lol #Kavanaugh is a piece of shit.

“Reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly said that Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed to speak to them as long as they publicly said he declined the interview.”

Symbolism

Science #Symbolism Comms Thread-
Moon: A defining characteristic of the Moon is its "dark side" forever hidden from public view - and this is one reason in symbolism comms it can represent secrecy.
e.g. Q classified: Those videos are on the "moon" (6) #Qanon #GreatAwakening
When I say "Q classified videos are on the" - it wouldn't be phrased that way, the whole statement would be in symbolism comms (not just the moon)
Note in this one in the article it's found at the The "Moon's" "South Pole-Aitken basin"
I mention the location -because the Ray Chandler Lunar Lander (I mean ChandRayaan)" is exploring that same region - As Q says - it's all out in the open - #SymbolismWillBeTheirDownFall #Qanon

So I have things to say about internalized misogyny and evangelical mindsets. Obviously, as a man, I only have direct personal experience with the latter. But I've seen them both play out in one of the people I care about most: my mother. And her support of Brett #Kavanaugh.
I'm thinking about this now because my mother is a classic evangelical Christian: a very nice person with very problematic beliefs. Conservative without being a fundamentalist weirdo, doesn't "like" Trump but voted for him, thinks gay people are mentally ill and in sin, etc.
My family is deeply religious and heavily involved in the church. We went every Sunday, to both services. My mother and father both, at varying points, served on pastoral staff temporarily after a pastor suddenly left. They were close friends with all the pastors and elders.

Our system is too broken to assess the sexual assault claim against Brett #Kavanaugh: slate.com/news-and-polit… via via @DahliaLithwick "Kavanaugh defenders were quick to say that the woman, still unnamed, was a drunk and a liar." <<Trolls are doing this as we speak.
@Dahlialithwick 2/ #Kavanaugh "called the abuser, because he was worried about the abuser’s mental health. Worrying more about the accused judge than the accusers one claims to believe is the system protecting the system. This is why women don’t come forward."
3/ "The problem is that demanding that any one woman bear the full professional and social and emotional cost of dismantling the machinery of men in power propping up other men in power is expecting entirely too much." #MeToo
