So.. I wanna share something that happened. Can't say I'm proud but this is why you need to watch what you say to an assault survivor with PTSD.

I had an incident with a male family member over people not speaking up immediately about being assaulted. 1/ Knowing full well I've been thru more than 1 assault, he said to me if you don't speak up right away then you shouldn't ever speak abt it.

Of course, I pushed back. Forcefully. But he continued & didn't listen when I said repeatedly to stop as it was a hot button issue w/me. 2/

If you're unable to watch what's happening on the floor, I'm gonna be updating this thread with the latest the best I can.

Just now:

Sen Grassley sd Dems doctored a video of Kavanaugh saying B.C was "abortion inducing drugs".

#VoteNo #StopKavanaugh #CancelKavanaugh Sen Grassley:

The democrats had "one last card" to play with regard to Dr. Ford. Suggesting they sat on the allegations merely as a ploy.

People should see this for what it is- political play.

Brett Kavanaughs College FRESHMAN roommate who *shared* a room w/him, Jamie Roche, says he witnessed "notably a much heavier drinker than others". He was "drunk frequently" & not just weekends, was "belligerent & aggressive". He's heard from ppl, not on the record, about violence Jamie Roche didn't "socialize" w/Kavanaugh, but saw him come home at times "incoherent. Stumbling. Sometimes singing. Would throw up. Have a lot of trouble getting up in the morning"

"I saw him blackout drunk."

(On @AC360)

Sen. John Kennedy says Democrats "don't have a soul because they were not breastfed and went straight to raw meat".

I fucking can NOT. (For the record, I'm a hard Dem. I was breastfed and I have never eaten raw anything. @SenJohnKennedy Fuck off.

Do you have mommy problems or are you jealous you senile fuck!

I'm guilty far too often of masking how I feel. I say meh, I'm ok I guess. I'll be alright. Tonight that happened and I went in the bathroom, leaned up against the wall and sobbed. It was as if that door literally propped me up.

#thursdaythoughts After some time I put powder on my nose and a smile on my face as I pulled the door open.

I think that one instance could encompass so much of my life now with depression

Depression/PTSD/Insomnia are insidious and can have life ending consequence if someone goes there.

Never discount a survivor of abuse due to the amount of time b/w the assault & speaking out. It means nothing as far as credibly.

I was molested from abt 7-14 &didn't speak abt it for 18 yrs. Also, I was raped by a pastor & only opened up abt it after hanging myself 👇🏼1/ In a suicide attempt that should've killed me. Anyone criticizing or disparaging #Ford for speaking out is why we need a #metoo movement. Collectively we can't be silenced. Alone we are just whispering into a void. 👇/2

Hey y'all! It's here.

"All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach."

~A. Hitler Saw this tidbit too.

"A common aspect that characterized dictators, is to take advantage of their strong personality, usually by suppressing freedom of thought & speech of the masses, in order to maintain political and social supremacy and stability" Hitler
