Look, if God didn’t want me to be a feminist, an artist, & discontent with the way the world works then they shouldn’t have let me read Esther, Psalms, & Ecclesiastes over & over in middle school.

Election Day in the U.S. is Nov. 6, but voter registration deadlines in many states are well before that.

See what the voter registration deadline is in your state. https://t.co/Qm118Q3csz [corrected typo]

If a guy says he's nervous about #MeToo, just remind him that we come down pretty hard on murderers too, and ask him why that doesn't make him nervous. If he says, "Because I haven't murdered anyone," then you've learned something new about your friend.

The Republicans saying what Kavanaugh did as a teen shouldn’t affect his whole life have imposed the mass incarceration of teenagers for drug offences, and ensured they are denied student loans, public housing and jobs when they get out. I assume they now support a mass amnesty.

Senators are on notice: If you vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court despite failing to adequately investigate credible allegations of sexual assault — America will remember.

Women:
RT if you’ve ever walked through a parking lot with your keys between your fingers or pretended to talk on the phone because you felt unsafe.

[Ryan Struyk @ryanstruyk]

54% of Republicans say Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the Supreme Court *even if Ford's allegation of sexual assault is true* vs. 32% who say he should not be confirmed via new NPR/PBS/Marist poll this week.

The American Bar Association is calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee to halt consideration of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh until an FBI investigation is completed. https://t.co/16cK7qYUhY

A woman just told @LindseyGrahamSC she was raped. He said, as he headed into an elevator, "I'm sorry. Tell the cops."

In other words, evidence suggests that the same event may be well remembered by someone who experienced a trauma during the event but virtually forgotten by someone for whom it was an average day #KavanaughHearings

[Jia Tolentino @jiatolentino]

It is impossible to shake the certainty that this isn't going to matter. More than 2/3 of voters believed Trump's accusers. Almost 2/3 of white men, and more than half of white women, still voted for him. Self-interest over decency every time

can you imagine if kamala harris was your mama and she calls to let you know she on her way home and you forgot to take the chicken out

[Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk]

So Kavanaugh has already confirmed that:

1) he was hiding his angry, aggressive side.
2) he's vengeful AF
3) he is a hyperpartisan activist judge whose loyalty will remain with his party, not the country.
4) He can't be on the SCOTUS. Not now, not ever.

[Suzy @suzytweet]

A sexual abuser is elected to the highest office where he nominates a sexual abuser to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. And an entire political party is willing to look the other way because it benefits their interests. Yes, women are mad.

We estimate that today the National Sexual Assault Hotline saw a 147% increase above normal volume. https://t.co/sVpTuIEffA

The question for us is not just “How did this happen?” It is also “Have we learned?”

America failed my family and community when it locked us inside camps for years. Have we learned? I ask because detention camps hold over ten thousand kids. Today.

America: Have We Learned?
