Kavanaugh lies multiple times about inconsequential facts. Does anyone really think he would tell the truth about the important facts? #IStandWithChristineBlaseyFord #NoToKavanaugh 
Multiple classmates confirm he was a drunk, and he was belligerent during his hearing and disrespectful to the senators questioning him. #SubpoenaMarkJudge #KavaHELLNaugh
Dr Ford was incredibly credible witness. It’s time to open an FBI investigation and dig further into this man’s entitled background. #liarliar #FBIInvestigation #sexualassault #KavanaughVote
@lirivera @BostonGlobe #JunotDiaz was targeted for a takedown by 3 female fiction writers: #ZinziClemmons #CarmenMMachado #MonicaByrne. All: Read #apologizetoJunot & my thread (threadreaderapp.com/thread/1042140…). @forjustice2018 - audio of JD's respectful interaction w/ Machado who lied. #fauxfeminism #MeToofail
@lirivera @BostonGlobe @forjustice2018 Others (like bitter writer ex-gfs) jumped in like @realalisavaldes ("kiss-n-teller" he briefly dated 22 yrs ago, who blogged in 2008 to brag abt sleeping w him while on journalist duty!). And @lirivera (sensitive writer he had lunch w 1x). No evidence #JunotDiaz harassed women.
@lirivera @BostonGlobe @forjustice2018 @RealAlisaValdes Alisa Rivera: Your points are simply ur biased assumptions as a comm prof & former aspiring fiction writer who accused #JunotDiaz of sexually harassing & bullying u 15 yrs ago on a lunch date. U met him 1 time. He didn't tell u what u wanted to hear & tried to make up. U cried.
WOMEN - WHEN YOU ARE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED YOU MUST, MUST, MUST SPEAK UP AT THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (THREAD) #SexualAssault #Kavanaugh and the person to whom you need to speak up is YOU!
Don't wait until the shock wears off (if it ever does), right after you out of immediate danger, document EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. Here are some ways:
Write it all down. Make multiple copies. Mail those copies separately to yourself as sealed certified letters. Years down the line you may want to open one and read it with your therapist. Years down the line you may want to give one to your parents or your spouse so
I'm one of a few million Americans awake when we should be sleeping because of the pain of #cancer or some other chronic illness.
Adding to our sleeplessness is knowing #healthcare is under threat. We may not be able to afford it due to the #GOP's actions.
It's terrorizing.

My parents were Civil Rights workers. My father was a Freedom Rider. As a small child I was taught the legacy of #MLK.
I watched people invoking MLK on Monday. Not in defense of #votingrights or in outrage over how the #SCOTUS ruled on two pivotal cases on gerrymandering.

MLK wasn't being invoked for #votingrights but for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who lies to America every day about policies that could very well kill me & others.
Policies that are hurting millions.
Policies that have kept me a citizen without equal rights in my own country.

Hi everyone! This is @sohni_c for @Smashboard_. One of the things I want to discuss today is how #sexualharassment and #sexualassault cases are reported in the media. The first issue is the tedious sensationalisation of these cases 1/n
Resulting in the focus remaining on the victim rather than the perpetrator. Hence, adding to stigma, shaming and victim-blaming of the women who face harassment and assault. Also, these attitudes result in reinforcing the #rapeculture where the victim is held at scrutiny. 2/n
Moreover, insensitive and sensational reportage serves to titillate and tease the erotic imagination of abuse, rape and violence. The focus shifts from the violation of the victim to the patriarchal fixation on women's bodies and their sexual freedom. 3/n
In May of 1997, @VP Mike Pence had a radio show where he suggested that adultery should be a crime in the US. Trump is accused of adultery & #SexualAssault while venal hypocrite Pence stands by. #StormyDaniels
Eric Greitens is a protégé of @VP Mike Pence. Before he was elected Missouri's governor, married Republican Eric Greitens raped a woman, struck her in the face & called her a "whore," the woman told a Missouri House committee.
Trump wants a dictatorship and Pence wants a Theocracy. They meet in the middle with #Putin. #ImpeachPence

1/ Ivanka Trump, daughter and advisor to President Donald Trump, was interviewed today in South Korea. What follows is a partial nonverbal, verbal, and paralanguage analysis of a crucial portion of that exchange (video above).
2/ PETER ALEXANDER (beginning at 1:45): "Do you believe your father's accusers?"
IVANKA TRUMP: [deep inhalation, Ω ] "I think it's a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter - [deep inhalation] - if she believes [deep inhalation] Ahummm -- the accusers of her father ..."
