On Nov 8, 2016, I was shocked, in disbelief, I cried all night, I cried for weeks on/off that America is sexist.
It made my anxiety escalate, made me depressed & insomniac.
What cheered me up was lookin forward to Nov 6, 2018.
Today sucks but we're 30 days closer to Nov 6.
VOTE! What broke my heart 11/08/16 that America said, like today: we know dude sexually assaults women, we don't care about what happened to you.
Nov 8, 2016 & Today October 6, 2018 was an assault to #MeToo survivors.
As a survivor & mother of a little girl is a double punch to my gut.

Sexual assault & harassment linked to long-term health problems for women:

High blood pressure
Depression
Insomnia
Anxiety

A few possible long-term health consequences face mid-life women who experienced sexual assault & harassment, according to a study.
cnn.it/2Rkhqap Not everyone is able, willing to identify what happened to them, but that doesn't prevent the body from having opinions about it & expressing them.
Women who reported prior sexual assault were 3 times more likely to experience depression.

Aggravated Sexual/Abuse by Force/Threat of Force:
When person knowingly causes another person to engage in sexual act
Attempts to by using force against that person by threatening, placing that person in fear that person will be subjected to death, serious bodily injury, kidnap Abusive Sexual Contact:
When no sexual penetration actually occurred but when the intentional touching of genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, buttocks of any person with intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade, arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person occurs

The audacity of the "president"of the United States asking why Dr Christine Blasey Ford didn't contact FBI 35 yrs ago.
First of all it was not a federal crime for her to contact FBI.
Second of all she was 15.
I was groped at 7 yrs old, 30 yrs later still haven't told my parents. A 12 yr old groped me under my skirt.
I froze.
Was paralyzed
Confused.
Scared.
My mom feet ahead of me, unaware of what was done to me at the school entrance, early in the morning.
I remember every detail of that day at 37 yrs old.
I thought I'd get in trouble.
It was traumatic.

Please send good thoughts.
My brother's friend was the student shot & his teacher.

My brother is at that school & they remain on lockdown.

I'm glad my brother is ok.
But this is frightening knowing it's happening directly to a loved one.

My brother's friend & his teacher were taken to the hospital.

I don't know more details.

Helicopters hovering & cops are all over the school.

1 suspect still remains at large.

Titan of Kansas Republican politics shunning Kris Kobach, her party’s nominee for governor.
Nancy Kassebaum, Kansas 3 term senator, will support Democrat @SenatorKelly campaign.
Kassebaum joins former GOP Governor Bill Graves, who supports Kelly.
#BlueWave
kansascity.com/news/politics-… “I’m a Republican, but that doesn’t mean you walk lock step always with the party.
It seems to me that Kobach has developed a record that shows focus on ways & how to accomplish his end goals that I think aren't the best for Kansas.”

—Kassebaum

Doesn't matter if a sexual assault happened 30 yrs ago, 10 yrs ago, 10 months ago, 10 weeks ago, 10 days ago, 10 mins ago
Christine Blasey Ford #MeToo survival story was inflicted by Kavanaugh, her credibility is being scrutinized
That's why survivors don't speak up
I believe her It was so painful to her...
She was so ashamed of it, which many assault survivors feel when it isn't their fault that some men are entitled pigs...
... she didn't speak of her sexual assault for decades.
What that tells me as a survivor myself, she repressed that memory.

If @realDonaldTrump didn't implement zero tolerance policy & had given refugees asylum, there wouldn't be thousands of traumatized parents & kids

In effort to address this trauma, lawyers filed federal lawsuit arguing US government should provide mental healthcare to affected families.

Google, what is the death toll on Hurricane Maria?

"Miller’s actions at WH perpetrated negativity, violence, malice, brutality.
In particular, the zero-tolerance policy Miller helped craft is completely antithetical to everything I know about Judaism, Jewish law & Jewish values."

Disrupting it is cruel.

Never forget, tomorrow is the Anniversary of Ted Cruz watchin Twitter porn as the country was paying respects to victims of 9/11.

The same guy who's anti sex toys & preaches about morality, faps to Twitter porn.

Nothing wrong with porn but his hypocrisy drives me b-a-n-a-n-a-s. He wrote 76 page against dildos/sex toys takin hard stance against any right linked with obscene devices
“There's no substantive due-process right to stimulate one’s genitals for non-med purposes unrelated to procreation outside interpersonal relationship”

Suicidal thoughts like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age/gender/background.

Not familiar with many sports

Played Tennis in High School cause it's 1 of the couple sports I'm good at, the other 1 is volleyball

Always admired Serena Williams, even if I don't watch Tennis, I see her as a role model for women of all ages

She'll always be an empowering icon It breaks my heart to see that her career, her body of work is being dismissed because she lost her temper.
The double standards that we women face daily.
John McEnroe is notorious for losing his sh*t on the court quite frequently.
Did he get fined?
Was he labeled hysterical?

Democrats need 2 seats to flip the senate

They need 1 of the following scenarios to come true:

•Democrats need to win Republican held seats in Arizona & Nevada

•They need to hold on to all 26 of their currently held seats, including Indiana & Missouri
cnn.com/2018/09/08/pol… If Democrats lose 1 of their seats, they need to take Arizona, Nevada & Tennessee.

Democrats could sub in Texas for 1 of these 3 seats or carry all 4 & afford to lose 2 of their seats.

They can't afford to lose in West Virginia, where tRump won by more than 40 points in 2016.
