Kavanaugh's family.
Ford's family.
Women in general who are getting the message yet again, loud and clear, that we don't matter.
Sexual assault survivors who are getting the message yet again, loud and clear, that we don't matter and our story doesn't matter, and that if we report, we will be scrutinized, ridiculed, blamed and discredited.
People insisting that this is a partisan issue.
People insisting that Democrats believe her and disbelieve him, rather than everyone wanting to just know the fucking truth.
Senators who say unabashedly that even if Kavanaugh did what Ford said he did, they'd vote him in anyway.
