Americans should’ve listened to Anita Hill, Christine Blasey-Ford and Hillary Clinton.

But instead they listened to the white male who has no fucking right to choose what happens to a woman’s body.

America, you’ve failed to check yourselves.. and now you’ve wrecked yourself so much you’re damaged beyond compare.

Every time I see people crow about how wealthy white women will be protected and helped out by their powerful fathers and husbands even when abortion (and of late, interstate travel to access abortion care in other states) is illegal, I feel compelled to point out that after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the daughter of a wealthy, well-connected Republican man, accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, her own father shook the hand of Kavanaugh's father at their shared golf club and congratulated him on his son's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Men whose lifeblood is preserving the patriarchy don't entertain exceptions, even for their daughters and wives. At the end of the day, they don't see women as people, even those they purport to love, and consider them at best, accessories and at worst, problems to be handled.

My media this week (17-23 Mar 2024)

incredible art by harrydarlington

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰 Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears (Michael Schulman, author; Charlie Thurstonn, narrator) - definitely interesting and an enjoyable read. What mainly struck me was that things now are pretty much same as it ever was: the producers have always been horrible to the talent; the academy, despite two serious efforts to course correct, has always been conservative/racist/misogynist, etc.

😍 In Name Only (BootsnBlossoms, Kryptaria) - 84K, 00Q - reread of this fandom classic/forever fave where Bond is 007 & Q is a participant in The Marketplace - love the way this explores Bond wrestling with concepts utterly unknown to him but also his own desires

🙂 Not With a Whimper, But a Bang (emptydistractions, seleneheart) - 46K, urban fantasy AU, dragon!Bucky - read for stucky bookclub - satisfactory read, some intriguing worldbuilding

😊 red wine supernova (donderwolk) - 91K, hocky rpf, one of them had to retire early from the NHL due to a chronic migraine condition, the other's a ceramcist who teaches a local rec center class. Very entertaining read, good quality angst. I enjoyed the characterizations very much

💖💖 +200K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

Sourwood Mountain (Pennyplainknits) - Stranger Things: Munson Family Feels, 5K - great fic with a genius premise and badass munson family feelings

For Which The First Was Made (leupagus) - Agatha Christie's Marple: Jane/Gabriel, 35K - great Miss Marple fic; as I told the author, I never pictured Miss Marple with a boytoy but after reading this fic and watching the inspiration for it, my mind has been EXPANDED. plus I love an epistolary story!

Interrupted Heists, Dentist Visits, and Other Romantic Dates For Your Fake Husband (Kiraly) - Original Work: OMCs, 7K - very fun original fic with two (opposing) sidekicks hitting it off & getting married for insurance reasons

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford went in front of the US congress to tell her story and her abuser is on the supreme court and she has had to move 4 times for her safety. we could have all the evidence and information and logic and statistics in the world, but it’s easier to side with the abuser. standing up for a victim is hard. and a lot of people are fucking cowards

here's a few Links on this so called legislator and his approach to Rape Victims reporting their crimes

and this one

and lets take a look at this one too

Senator Lindsey Graham responded to a woman's claim of a rape in her past by stating, "Tell the cops," before he headed into an elevator Thursday during a lunch break in Christine Blasey Ford's testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Graham also issued a threat to Democrats about their future nominees.

The as-of-yet unidentified woman made her claim to Graham, according to a McClatchyDC reporter and corroborated by an MSNBC reporter, and the South Carolina lawmaker said: "I'm so sorry…you needed to tell the cops."

According to television footage, Graham appeared visibly angry over the first half of Ford's testimony about an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the process that had largely damaged Republican chances of voting in a new member of the nation's highest court.

Graham stated that he had not seen or heard enough from Ford and especially took umbrage with her inability to say when and where the alleged assault.

"I've got a guy who adamantly denies this. Everybody who actually knows him in a real way say this is not the guy I know. I got Dr. Ford, who can't tell me the time or place," Graham said, and then confirmed that he "intended" to vote on Friday on Kavanaugh.

Graham was then asked if what Ford had told the committee was "enough" to possibly dissuade Republican senators from turning down Kavanaugh.

"Let me put it this way to my Republican colleagues: If this becomes the new standard, where you have an accusation for weeks, you drop it right before the hearing, you withhold from the committee a chance to do this in a professional, timely fashion. When they publicly say that their goal is to delay the vote, get the Senate back in 2018 to make sure he can't fill the seat. They're publicly saying that. I don't want to reward that kind of behavior. I think we've been fair," Graham said.

Graham added a threat toward Democrats: "And to my Republican colleagues, if you can ignore everything that's in this record, looking at an allegation that's 35 years old, that's uncertain in time, place, date and no corroboration.... If that's enough for you, God help us all as Republicans. Cause this happens to us, it never happens to them. But let me tell you my Democratic friends, if this is the new norm, you better watch out for your nominees.

After Ford finished her testimony, Graham again spoke to reporters and answered calls for the FBI to further investigate the college professor's damning claims against Kavanaugh.

"If you really believe we needed an investigation of this, why didn't you tell us in August?" Graham said. "Listen…the FBI is going to us what? What house are they going to go to? What city are they going to go to? Who are they going to talk to? Cause they can't tell us the month, barely the year. So this is all delay."

Graham also suggested he and his colleagues were told Ford could not fly to speak with them, and questioned who paid for her polygraph test. Ford's lawyers, as well as the lawyer for Kavanaugh's second accuser, said they paid for the test.

"When they say that she wasn't sure if we were willing to go out there. That's a bunch of bull. I don't know what they told Ms. Ford, but we were willing to go to California. We were told she couldn't fly….I don't know who paid for her polygraph but somebody did. And here's what I'm more convinced up. The friends on the other side set it up just the way it is."

Update: This story has been updated to include further comments from Lindsey Graham.

Unhinged Lindsey Graham Yells, Spews Lies About Abortion

"No, no, no! Quit covering for these guys!" the senator said attacking CNN host Dana Bash

Sen. Lindsey Graham couldn’t keep his cool when he was questioned about his position on abortion and whether it aligns with Donald Trump’s stance that it is a state issue. Graham recently proposed federal legislation banning abortions after 15 weeks but had previously indicated he believed states should decide whether to ban the procedure.

“Senator, I have heard you say both on this issue, that it is a state issue, but now you do support a federal ban,” Dana Bash said during Graham’s appearance on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday.

Last May, Graham tweeted that leaving abortion rights to the states would be “the most constitutionally sound way of dealing with this issue.” And in June 2022, he said on Fox News, “All of us in the conservative world have believed that there’s nothing in the Constitution giving the federal government the right to regulate abortion.”

“Well, I have been supporting a limit on late-term abortions for — since 2015,” Graham told Bash during the interview. “I had a bill to limit abortions at 20 weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother. Seventy percent of Americans support limiting abortion when the — when the unborn child can feel pain. Fifty of 53 European nations limit abortion at 15 weeks or less.”

“But my question is, is it a federal issue or a state…” Bash interjected, but Graham kept talking over her.

“At 15 weeks, you have a developed heart and lungs,” the senator claimed. “And to dismember a child at 15 weeks is a painful experience. It’s barbaric. It’s out of line with the rest of the civilized world. Only North Korea and China allow abortion demand up to the moment of birth, except the Democratic Party. What the Democratic Party proposes on abortion is barbaric. Abortion up to the moment of birth, taxpayer-funded.”

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) disagrees with Graham’s assertion that a 15-week fetus can feel pain. ACOG wrote that “science conclusively establishes that a human fetus does not have the capacity to experience pain until after at least 24–25 weeks” and added that the “evidence shows that the neural circuitry necessary to distinguish touch from painful touch does not, in fact, develop until late in the third trimester.”

Editor’s picks

Further, Graham’s allegations that “the rest of the civilized world” bars abortions after 15 weeks is very misleading, as many European nations have broad allowances for exceptions, including socioeconomic circumstances. Abortion in many other nations is also subsidized by the government. And his claims about late-term abortions are highly exaggerated. Further, states with Democratic leadership — including Illinois and New York — have imposed limits on abortion after the point of viability, usually around 24 weeks.

But when Bash pointed out to Graham, “Just for the record, Roe went up to viability,” the senator exploded.

“No, that’s no, no, no! Quit covering for these guys. No, no, no! You’re — media, you keep covering for these guys. They introduced legislation that allowed abortion on demand with taxpayer-funded — you paying for it, the taxpayer, up to the moment of birth. That was their position in Washington. That’s the law they want to pass. And nobody in your business will talk about it.”

“Senator, I’m not covering for anybody. And you know that,” Bash fired back. “And when I have Democrats on — and I have had Democrats on — I have asked… all of them about their position where they believe this issue should be… My question for you, sir, is about President Trump, who you have endorsed to be president again. Is he right in saying that this issue should be a states’ issue?”

“He said yesterday, I think, at a speech in Iowa that he opposes late-term abortion,” Graham responded. “Here’s what I believe, that anybody running for president who has a snowball’s chance in hell in the 2024 primary is going to be with me, the American people, and all of Europe saying late-term abortions should be off the table. Seventy percent of the people oppose late-term abortions. I am confident, over time, that’s where our nominee will be. I am confident that no Democrat will answer the question of, when do you draw a line? They never get challenged. I welcome this debate.”

Of course, Graham is lying. A number of Democrats have indicated they believe in some regulation around abortion. Graham is also using the specter of late-term abortions — a procedure that is exceedingly rare and often sought due to extreme fetal abnormalities or the life of the parent — to polarize people on the issue, a common conservative tactic.

Trending

Proving Graham wrong in his claim that Bash never presses Democrats on the issue of abortion, the host interviewed Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar later in the show and asked for her to respond to Graham.

“I think Senator Graham knows where the American people are on this,” Klobuchar said. “They are with Democratic leaders. And the people of this country believe that the women of this country should be able to make their own decisions about their health care, and not politicians. And they don’t want Ted Cruz in the waiting room.”

The more I think about the story of how Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's father shook the hand of Brett Kavanaugh's father at their shared golf club and congratulated him on his son's confirmation, the more I want to hurl.

I was raised by my own father, who booked a last minute flight *this morning* because he hasn't seen me in months and genuinely enjoys my company even though I'm an adult who pays my own rent. He would rather eat his own shoe than break bread with men who hurt me, and that's exactly how it should be! The way so many fathers think so little of their daughters makes me angry but also deeply sad.

its almost like those are really serious accusations that require evidence. . otherwise anyone could accuse anyone of something like that. .

yeah they're very serious, so hardly anybody makes them. most false allegations of predatory behavior are in the very low percentile. and regardless of if they're honest or not they're often not believed or pushed aside, like dr blasey ford and anita hill. but since believing victims isnt enough for your pretentious boneheaded ass heres your evidence and a helpful little graph

Show this photo to your daughters as they grow up.

Show them that courage is important, even in the scariest of situations. This woman stood up and faced her fears, spoke her truth in front of a group of men while balancing the world on her shoulders. She is a hero. She is a representation for all women who are done being assaulted and abused.

I Believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
