I shot the Kavanaugh protests this morning for NPR, and this is the photo that will always stick with me. I walked up to her after, needing her name for the photo but knowing it was a terrible time to ask. When I asked, she ignored me and said, “How are we going to find the strength to keep fighting?” I was speechless.
She said, “Are we going to be out here for another 30 years? I don’t have 30 years left.”

This is for anyone who thinks that people of older generations are inherently the enemy.

love being trusted with “you cant tell anyone this” conversations and nodding a lot and forgetting everything they told me like god intended and going down as a trustworthy individual while doing literally zero work of ill or good

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

A DEMOCRAT BROKE RANKS FOR THAT PILE OF SHIT

Manchin voting with the republicans gave kavanaugh his 50th vote. Kick his ass out.

Ok, a tiny bit of political realism here: Manchin was 50…in a 50-48 vote. He didn’t decide it. And the primaries are over, and he blew away his lefter dem opponents. The choice is him OR a hardcore republican…and right now, throwing him away throws away ANY chance of taking the Senate. So we need to choke down Manchin for another cycle, at least, because WV is not picking someone to the left of him at this time.

Murkowski was already declared as a no, she would have been 49 if she had voted (she was merely marked present as a protest) and Manchin flipping would have made it 49–50 since one of the GOP Senators was absent and being the deciding vote would have motivated Murkowski to actually vote No instead of Present.

So, no, the political reality is that Manchin decided to be the vote to allow the Conservatives to strike down of Roe (women’s rights), Obergefell (gay marriage), Lawrence v Texas (which made being gay legal, which cited Roe’s Privacy standards), challenges to Obamacare (and Medicare for all should it pass), and any workers rights cases that come before the Court.
