"Enslavement reigned for 250 years on these shores. When it ended, this country could've extended its hallowed principles — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — to all, regardless of color," writer Ta-Nehisi Coates told Congress. "But America had other principles in mind"
STITCHES, a new blog post about what helps with disappointment, loneliness or disillusionment, especially for CREATIVES. Which is all of us. Thanks for reading, sharing and supporting. xo https://t.co/LERVitYjeH
If you live in Alaska, Indiana, Maine, North Dakota, or West Virginia, your Senator is wavering.
YOU are crucial!
Call ☎️ your Senator now: 202-804-8191 tell them to believe women & reject Kavanaugh. I’m attaching a script if you want help.
There's no time left ⏰⚖️
Hearing about sexual violence in the media and online can be very difficult for survivors and their loved ones. Remember to take care of yourself during these times. Below is a thread of resources:
Brett Kavanaugh is wholly unsuited to be a Supreme Court justice, not because he was a very nasty teenager but because he is a very nasty, and injudicious, 53-year-old, with no capacity to rise above party politics, which is – after all – a main point of the Supreme Court.
On a day like today it’s worth saying, I believe survivors. Men must not close our eyes and minds to what happens to women in this world. We must fight, alongside them, for them to be believed, at the ballot box & with art & by listening, and change this world for the better.
Do not feel helpless or hopeless. Vote. VOTE. Pay attention to who makes your laws and appoints your judges. Pay attention who represents you. Vote. #KavanaghHearing
Tonight TV heroes won courtroom arguments and saved lives in the ER, but the most heroic act can come from you. Senators from Maine, Alaska, Arizona & Nebraska will determine if a man credibly accused of sexual assault will sit on our nation’s highest court. #TIMESUP
I have called for:
—Complete disclosure of all documents
—Subpoena Mark Judge
—Postpone the vote
Dr. Ford was credible & courageous.
What message will we send to our daughters & sons, let alone sexual assault victims?
The message I will send is this—I vote no. #RightSideofHistory
