To be honest - in the current culture - I was worried he wouldn’t get any time at all.

Now we just have to hope the 🍊doesn’t pardon him.

He’s like a mob boss demanding his “taste”
How many “contributions” has he received so far?!

It’s time for us to pick up the torch from the women who ran the race before us. We must stand together and fight for each other. We cannot have the generations of women who follow to have less rights than we do right now. We cannot fail them. #WomenSupportingWomen

We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world.

I spoke to the @nytimes.com about the strong forces trying to turn the clocks back and how we can all fight for women's rights and futures.

I’ve been to a lot of funerals in my life. I am fairly certain that was a rally.
The revisionist history is strong with those folks.

I am so disappointed in @cnn.com They are recreating history.
I will NEVER support using a gun to silence people. And he should not have been unalived.
His death can be wrong - and he can still be remembered as the hateful dangerous man that he was. Both can be true at the same time.

They really are doing everything they can to make him their martyr. Perhaps it’s a coincidence - but many folks predicted a martyr. I wonder how the 🍊will feel when he realizes they aren’t talking about him.
It’s gross watching these speaker bend religion to meet their greed.

I think the biggest surprise for me is how quickly the media stopped being the watchdog and the fourth estate. As a Canadian I always thought that the United States media was a North Star helping to guide the way. I thought they were fearless & spoke truth to power.
I don’t think this anymore
