I'm having feels about the fact that we expect people to be perfect. EVERYONE has things about them that are problematic. Everyone. If this is in reference to me; I’ll say this The majority of y’all here are white. You can ignore some things because it doesn’t affect y’all in the same way. I don’t expect anyone to be perfect but when they have a pattern of problematic behavior: I will not ignore it. Especially when it affects my Black ass on a micro level YALL would never understand. I just want to say that I hear you and understand to the best of my white ass ability.

There are plenty of levels of the justice system before we get to SC that need some KonMari action. Do that.

Mitch McConnell already said a new justice will receive a vote because he is 100% evil. I think I hate him more than Trump, because I think he is a smarter evil than Trump is.

This a very sad day. I am mourning the huge loss and terrified and I just don't know what to feel right now. I can't imagine what her last days were like.
Like this dying woman held on so long for actual democracy. She should not have had to do that.

Is this a legit good place for me to give? I have been just giving directly to Biden but direct me where to go because I have funds and am very mad It is! It focuses on states we have a chance of flipping. I became a regular donor. This is also a good time to go donate to RAICES, EJI, and the like for those who have the resources. They're gonna need every dollar we can give, regardless of who new the judge is. Thanks. They got money

I am a nice lady. I really don’t think that I have wished death on anyone before 2016. I have now done it many times, and I don’t even feel bad about it 🤷🏻♀️

Also--- if Trump was able to come in and fuck all this shit up...why not believe someone else can come in and do something just as drastic in a different direction? I mean....all the shit going on has always been happening...now it is happening more publicly.
He didn´t come out of nowhere.

Basically, we need 4 Republicans to side with Democrats and hold off on confirming a new justice.
We are not going to get 4 Republicans. I just don't see it. I have zero faith.
The only way out is to vote for Joe Biden.

I think it's okay for people to take a beat to grieve, cry, and despair a little. I believe many of us will get back to the fight afterward, but there's nothing wrong with feeling the anger and sadness. (I'm not @ing anyone here, just talking.) I agree....I just feel like I can offer another dish to the table....for those like me who need something else. I don´t mean to shut down anybody´s grieving so if anybody was feeling that way I really do apologize.

I’m so upset. Do we think the Dems can block a nomination this close to election?
Haven’t read the thread yet if y’all have already discussed.

The only way out is to vote for Joe Biden. So far I've heard that Romney, Murkowski, and Collins have said they won't vote but 1. I haven't verified any of that and 2. I don't trust any of them. That was before she passed away

And it’s usually the right thing to do. But I feel like we can’t anywhere that way anymore, which really sucks.

But also deep breaths. One day at a time.
I was on the phone with my husband because I was kind of freaking out. it’s hard not to right now. He’s really good at calming me the Fuck down. Mostly he said to keep focusing on BLM stuff we’ve been donating and been involved with. The orgs providing advocacy and translation services at detention centers. It’s quiet work but it makes a difference and helps us focus. This stuff feels dire but we can still offer support. We can still vote. We can still do things. We just wipe them tears and start doing our thing.

That was before she passed away Romney and Murkowski were today. I haven’t seen anything from anyone else but fucking Mitch “we will vote” McConnell.

When the time comes, what would you like to be remembered for? "Someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability. And to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has."
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
