Washington DC, October 4, 2018. Thousands gathered here today for a rally and march to oppose the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. The very large, diverse* and energized crowd of protesters assembled at the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Court House and then marched to the U.S. Supreme Court for a rally with speeches. Judge Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault by at least three women and of lying to Congress numerous times by many prominent legislators. Today's action is a continuation of weeks of nationwide non-violent protests against Kavenaugh that have resulted in over a thousand arrests. Over three hundred were arrested in the Hart Senate Office Building atrium just this evening. Despite the best efforts of the protesters it is expected that the morally bankrupt Senate Republicans will stumble Kavenaugh's confirmation over the finish line on Friday or Saturday. Why? Kavanaugh will compliantly hand President Donald J. Trump a "get out of jail free" card if an anticipated and much deserved impeachment proceeding is launched when the balance of power in Congress shifts to the Democrats.
*Women led the way by far in numbers and were the chief organizers, the most militant and the most arrested.
"Dominic Strauss-Kahn is a powerful global figure who has been accused of a string of sexual offences and is still under investigation for his role in a prostitution ring. By inviting him to speak, the Cambridge Union risks colluding with attitudes that condone or trivialise violence against women. Ironically the event comes one day after International Women's Day (8th March) when people around the globe will be taking action on sexual and other violence against women." - Holly Dustin, Director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition
Saw this today on a subway advert (77th St.)-- crude, sad, but somehow brilliant. I think the "writer" meant to say "Abner Louima," referring to the Haitian immigrant who was assaulted by the NYPD in the late '90s in one of the most unimaginable ways possible.

Washington DC, October 6 2018. Thousands gathered in front of the U.S. Supreme Court to oppose the imminent confirmation of Judge Brent Kavanaugh to the position of Associate Justice by the Senate. A smaller group sat down on the Capitol steps and over a hundred were arrested when they refused to move. A still smaller group of spirited protesters packed the Senate Gallery and punctuated the shameful proceedings below with shouted chants and commentary until they too were hustled out with some arrests. As predicted, Kavanaugh was confirmed by two votes, one of the smallest margins in the history of the Court.
In a morning tweet President Trump boasted that "Women for Kavanaugh, and many others" supporting his nominee were "gathering all over Capitol Hill" but I counted only twenty five at best. Going forward we await the pushback against Trump and his Republican supporters at the polls this November and beyond.
The Minnesota National Guard recognizes April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and is working to increase awareness among Service members about how to intervene to stop sexual assault.

A rally and press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon April 10th at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago to call attention to the fact that the state of Illinois is one of fourteen states yet to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
The Equal Rights Amendment states that: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex". The E.R.A, would provide legal protection for women in various ways including gender-based violence, equal pay, and pregnancy discrimination.
70% of America's poor are women. This also affects the children who depend on them.
Women make up roughly half the workforce and constitute two-thirds of minimum wage workers.
Women earn 79 and 44% of what men make adjusted for their race. The latter figure applies more to blacks and Hispanics.
Women are twice as likely to retire in poverty as men.
Passing the E.R.A. would ensure that employers could not give women less pay for doing the same work as a man.

A rolling stone, the old saw goes, gathers no moss. Also, very little in the way of facts on which to base a story. Favors done to the female college students who are sexually assaulted (or just flat-out raped) all in the name of "boys wil be boys": None.
