Hello.

Like many women l, I’ve been around a lot of really drunk men in high school, college, and beyond.

There’s only one whose name causes me to go into a cold sweat though.

Talk to women.
Brett Kavanaugh is not being questioned for getting really drunk, a lot—though lying about it a) is dumb b)speaks to character c) is a piece with his other lies. He’s being questioned for the actions he took while very drunk. Actions that most men do not take.
He’s trying out for one of the most powerful jobs in the country. With a lifetime appointment. Why are we even contemplating someone demonstrating—then and now—such low moral character?
“All boys do this”

NO THEY DON’T.

Have more faith in who most men are. Do a better job of raising men. And cut out those who seriously drag down then moral average.
This is the worst of what GOP is doing: claiming this behavior is normal. NO.
But more men need to say this. Not just #notallmen, but maybe something along the specifics we have had to disgorge. Why you didn’t, or wouldn’t, and what you are telling your kids.

1/ People seem to be confused as to why tribal Native Americans often don't have traditional mailing addresses. I'll try and explain a bit: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
2/ First many reservations are huge and remote and don't get much state infrastructure, like paved secondary etc roads. Tribal members often have to go hundreds of miles a few times a month to get mail.
3/ For people living in extreme remote places—and especially tribes that somewhat retain a nomadic existence—there's no USPS person coming to them or anywhere near them.

This block may be SF's most filthy, but many many many blocks are truly disgusting. And every block in Mission/SOMA is trash strewn always. nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/…

1/ There are 35 Senate races this year.
23 women are running.

2/ For the 435 House seats, there are 239 women still in the running. That's almost as many as every filed in any previous primary.
3/ There are 36 gubenatorial races. 61 women filed, and 16 women are still in the running. That's more than ever filed or got to general, by a long shot:

So now we have 650+ law professor against Kavanaugh. And the ABA. This list is pretty damming: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
If those teaching law at the highest institutions, some of whom appear before the Supreme Court, think he displayed a disqualifying lack of judicial temperment, how can SCOTUS withstand that kind of black eye?
The only real power SCOTUS has is that that the people's trust invest in it.
