Celebrities React to Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court Confirmation
Judge Brett Kavanaugh was elected to the Supreme Court for a lifetime appointment, which basically means Republicans are set on continuing to reverse huge leaps Barack Obama accomplished during his presidency.
Obviously, Hollywood wasn’t too happy about it.
Even if Brett Kavanaugh is innocent — which I do not believe — ALL he had to do to bolster the appearance of judicial fitness was to keep his cool for just a few hours. Only a few hours of even-tempered composure. That’s it. He couldn’t. He is unfit for the sobriety of this job.

Another gross day in the history of our country, but the midterms are coming. We are stronger than this bullshit. We can fight and fight and we may not see the results right away, but we will see them. Our daughters will see them. Don’t give up. Fight harder.

I’ve been on a plane all morning. Just landed. Trying to make it home. Feel like I want to scream. And rage. And cry. I usually slip in and out of airports easily. Today, 3 different people come up to me – and gave me fuel. This just happened. First was a white man. Early 30s…

Both reaching for our bags in the overhead he said: “I’m not usually this guy, but please keep doing what you do. We need to hear voices like yours. And I need to listen.” I could feel his heart. Grappling with the moment in his own skin. We spoke for a bit and then deplaned.

The second person was Latina. I’m walking through the terminal. She was young. Early 20s. She just walked right in front of me. And stopped. With tears in her eyes. All I could do was hug her and try to hold in my own. She just whispered thank you. I thanked her too. We parted.

Last was a white woman with an accent from somewhere far away. Early 40s. She said I’m sorry to disturb you on a day like this. I said something I’ve never said to a stranger. I said: I want to cry. She looked back at me and said: “Me too.” Our eyes both welled up. And we did.

THE SENATE IS VITAL. We are focused on the House, and rightly so. But only the senate votes on judges – that goes for lower courts too. So if they keep the senate, even if we win the house, McConnell’s judge machine keeps on cranking.

I will only make it through this day reading about strong women’s beauty routines and skin regimens. It’s all I can imagine being soothed by. Love you all.

This tweet is for Dr. Ford. You put yourself through so much and I want you to know it wasn’t in vain. You started a movement and we’ll see it through. If they won’t listen to our voices, then they’ll listen to our vote.
