A former President of the United States has been found guilty of sexual assault.
Congratulations @ejeancarroll and thank you for standing up to a dangerous, depraved, despicable person. Today is an important day - accountability has come for Donald Trump. May this be the beginning of a justice trend. Because #JusticeMatters
@Burnt_Veggies @GottaLaff per MSNBC just now Carroll admitted in testimony she couldn't be sure he actually did penile insertion. And I'd add that her supporting witnesses also didn't testify to that particular crime.
So it makes sense. Still vindication for her on many many levels
This is a monumental verdict and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.
There are more than a dozen other women who allege that they were sexually assaulted by Trump
It's time we take these women are taken seriously

There was a shooting in a mall in Texas. In Texas, where there is open carry. Surely shoppers had guns. Where were the mythical good guys with guns?
They wear a gun to look macho. They won’t get in harms way though, because they’re cowards. I wonder how many shoppers fleeing from the gunman were actually carrying.
We need to provide free breakfast, lunch, and dinner to all students regardless of the income of their parents. Schools should not be charging for food for anybody. Schools are funded by taxes, it is criminal that we charge children to eat.
If you want to know why the protection of reproductive rights is so important and why abortion bans are anti-life, see this story. Elect people who will protect abortion rights.
Republicans aren’t. And won’t.
