All: Tomorrow is going to be tense day for all of us. Remember: NONE of you are alone. If you need a pep talk or cat pictures, ping me.
Also remember: we're all frustrated and angry with how the hearings are proceeding, but let's focus on what we CAN do at the moment.

Our part in this can be broken down into a few steps:
1. Calling any senators we have on judiciary, and demand they question vigorously.
2. Telling our Senators to vote no.
3. Pushing for state-level protections, a la MA's Nasty Women Act.
4. Getting 5 others to do 1-3.

If you can do a little more and are in driving distance of D.C. - consider joining the protests. Let the Senate know we're watching. To paraphrase @benwikler, the more

Tomorrow's going to be tough. Everything you might feel tomorrow. = 100% valid.
Just remember: keep focusing on what you CAN control. And if we each do those four simple steps? Imagine 4 x 1000 or 2000. That's a lot of collective power.
Let's get to work. Ask w/ questions.
