#ReportFromTheRed: 7/15

Today was a hectic news day. There’s no way this red household followed it, but here are the comments from a small, local news blurb tonight. /thread
[news of trump allowing Putin to say meddling didn’t happen]

“But. I mean. He wasn’t president in 2016. He wasn’t overlooking all of these agencies.”

“Yeah, it’s Strzok, it’s Comey, etc.”
“But they indicted those Russians, so what do you say to that, Mr. Trump’s #1 fan??”

[deflect to Hillary’s emails]

“Ugh, yeah, she should’ve been arrested for that. God, I hate her. I know people who worked on her campaign in DC - said she was a massive bitch.”
“And this whole meddling thing. He said that *both* countries are at fault.”

“*That’s* why we don’t have good relations with Russia.”

“Yeah, it’s a two way street.”
There was:
- no talk of the attack on the press
— literally, he had Secret Service remove a reporter. physically.
- no talk about how he didn’t stand up to Putin
- or calling American policies “foolish”
-or how meeting with a foreign power that’s accused of attacking us IS INSANE
These mindsets are not ones you will change. Do not try. These minds are violently angry when questioned.

But remember them when this is over. Because they will crawl back with pithy apologies. /end

Since the Supreme Court was established in 1789, 114 justices have been appointed.

All but six were white men.

/thread
111 of these justices were white.
Only 2 have been African American.
And just 1 was Hispanic.
178 years passed before a person of color joined the court - Justice Marshall in 1967. That’s only 51 years ago. The second was Justice Thomas in 1991.

Thomas was Marshall’s successor.

So it’s true that 2 have been African American. But only 1 served at the a time.

Trump recently said that, “it’s a scary time for young men in America. You can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of.”

Let me introduce to you, the story of
The Central Park Five.
Five men were arrested after Trisha Meili - 28 year old investment banker - was found beaten and battered in Central Park in April of 1989. She was in a coma for about 12 days.
While this case is a study in the psychology of perpetrators and what they’ll do to avoid jail, the point is that none of these men committed this crime. But they admitted to it, and fabricated memories to corroborate them.

Let me set the stage for you from a red state.

We’re at dinner. Nothing special, just a chili’s - third choice since the fights were on.

We sit at the bar to watch the football game.

There’s two TVs next to each other. One has the game, one has the Kavanaugh coverage.
Focus was going between the game and the Kavanaugh coverage. Even tho it’s late, you can’t hear the tv narrative.

Focus to Kavanaugh and his “swearing in” photo with his wife and daughters.

“Aw, I’m happy for him. Finally.”
Focus goes back to the game, and doesn’t go back to the Kavanaugh tv.

I see the protestors on monuments.
I see the protestors being arrested.
I see the posters
I see the anger.
I see the women who’re so scared of things out of their control, they can’t help but to cry.

Weird that we hold a black female tennis player to a higher standard of keeping her emotions in check than a Supreme Court nominee.
Weird that we spent years investigating a woman’s email situation, but could only spare a week for allegations into sexual assault for a Supreme Court nominee.
Weird that the people who’re okay with a Supreme Court nominee’s unfit temperament are the same people who throw a fit that their coffee cup says “merry Christmas.”

We are watching the Republicans trying to “ram” Kavanaugh through despite a large portion of the country and the majority of women saying:

“no”
“wait”
“please stop”

They are playing out on the national stage, in real time, what it feels like to be overpowered.
They won’t listen.
They won’t slow down.
They won’t stop.

The more we say no, the angrier they get.
The more we ask them to stop, the more entitled they feel.
We are being overpowered despite us being valid and rightfully asking that they stop or wait.

The more we say no, the angrier and more aggressive they become. Until finally, they will “ram” him through and onto the Supreme Court, and they will “win” and we’ll have to accept it.

All across the nation, young women are listening to the people around her defending Brett Kavanaugh and thinking to herself:

“If something like this ever happens to me, I have no where to go.”
All across the nation, survivors are listening to the people around her defending Brett Kavanaugh, and thinking to herself:

“This is why I didn’t say anything. No one would believe me.”
All across the nation, late aged women are listening to the people around her defending Brett Kavanaugh, and thinking to herself:

“All of this effort, and nothing has changed.”
