As a reminder, no one chooses to be the victim of a crime. Blasey Ford clearly did not want this, but is acting out of a patriotic duty. twitter.com/walshfreedom/s…

Again, the fatalistic rhetoric mostly serves to make you feel superior, but generally discourages progress. This is why people don't vote. They hear day in and day out that it doesn't matter, everyone is awful, trying only ends in failure.

The insult perfectly encapsulates the grift that Milo is running. It's not actually clever or creative, but Milo knows his audience will be impressed anyway, because it's a British-ism.

salon.com/2017/09/20/mil… Ah, it’s the one year anniversary of Milo Yiannopoulos calling me a “ginger cunt” because he knew I was about to expose the fact that his “Free Speech Week” was a sham.

It’s hard to see the culture Kavanaugh chose to wrap himself in-blackout drunks in HS, misogynistic clubs at Yale, a clerkship & friendship with a Judge forced off the bench over sexual harassment allegations & not question his claim that he’s pro-women. yaledailynews.com/blog/2018/09/2…

While I believe Obama could have done more, it's also flat-out false to engage in the "both sides do it, everyone is equally awful" fatalism. That kind of misleading rhetoric is how we got Trump. pic.twitter.com/PcdhW8LgkM

It's notoriously difficult to get politicians to regulate themselves. But the unparalleled corruption of the Trump administration is building political momentum behind efforts to pass real reform, once Democrats are back in charge. pic.twitter.com/z1PyuPQIXv

salon.com/2018/09/20/tru… Scott Pruitt walking out of the EPA and right into a consulting job for the coal industry is infuriating. But Democrats are drafting legislative fixes, if they’re returned to power.

thedailybeast.com/us-paid-dollar… Here’s a real post-apartheid scandal, unlike the fake one Tucker Carlson is hyping. Armed apartheid supporters have fanned out over the globe as mercenaries and are imposing their racism on war-torn regions. pic.twitter.com/LcTZGjdaa1

There's a reason that dudes like DeSantis, Trump, etc. are so invested in racial hierarchies. Because they know full well that we don't live in a meritocracy and if we did, mediocrities like themselves would not be rich or powerful or famous.

And can we please quit treating white supremacy and overt racism as if it's some esoteric practice of the much-ballyhooed white working class? The n-word is quite loved in the realms of white men who can afford to give $20K to a single candidate. pic.twitter.com/vtPbxRIlaZ

Kavanaugh was not holding an audition for new wives to add to his polygamous marriage. (That’s for Trump’s 4th term.) He was (presumably) hiring them for their legal chops. Anyway, blocking time! twitter.com/byu_123/status…

This story is worth reading in full. It’s not just this dude’s enthusiasm for the n-word. He was also so into Trump defending neo-Nazis, he threw a fundraiser at Mar-A-Lago so he could reward Trump with cash. politico.com/story/2018/09/…

Sorry for having to rewrite the original tweet. Until @jack stops being a monster and installs an edit button, I need to stop trying to type on the phone.

But of course women learn early to squelch our discomfort with sensing that a man's enthusiasm for working with women comes from the wrong place. We're expected to be grateful they tolerate our presence at all.

And even GOP efforts to fake feminist sentiment inevitably relegated women and girls to the role of props. Full humans, never. Full humans have rights. pic.twitter.com/HOM99Zkrvt

huffingtonpost.com/entry/yale-stu… Even during the hearing, I kept thinking that, to women, the whole “He loves hiring women, so many women!” thing was unnerving, as his judicial ideology casts women as objects.

Even during the hearing, I kept thinking, “This whole obsession with how he hires so many female clear,s clearly doesn’t sound exonerating when you consider that his legal ideology casts as objects.” huffingtonpost.com/entry/yale-stu…
