    The fact that this man’s crimes can fill six hours with limited commercial breaks is telling and horrifying.

    Watching ...I’m disgusted & dismayed. At the same time, I’m grateful for folks like & for being so committed to elevating the voices of survivors & holding predators accountable. ...THANK YOU.

    If you look back at the reporting during the R Kelly-Aaliyah marriage, it was a massive failure. Zero understanding of sexual abuse. Nobody treated this seriously. It was a collective shrug

    My kids felt I was exaggerating at first. I would make a big show of leaving the dance floor at family weddings when "Step in the Name of Love" came on. Because everyone knows how I love dancing, it sent a message. It was just a thing. I couldn't tolerate it/him.

    I banned Kelly’s music from my home, car, family cookout, etc 15 yrs ago. I read the Aaliyah story & heard him call himself the Pied Piper of R&B. I made my kids read the story of the PP. I told them that Kelly was bragging that he could steal our kids.

    I hope more white feminists will acknowledge this r Kelly documentary as an important step in helping black women heal from our own . So far, the silence from non black media has been startling.

    Impossible to know if vow to impeach the motherfucker will turn out to factually correct, but it's certainly imaginatively correct. I therefore give it zero Pinocchios & a million dancing-women emojis on my scale of hilariously true things that women are finally saying out loud.

    Reaction to Rashida Tlaib cursing reminds me of ’s chapter on female profanity (aptly titled “Fuck It”). Plenty of male & female politicians curse - and yet the public gets far more outraged when or Tlaib used the F-word than w/men like Trump or Beto. 🤔

    I mean, if we're gonna pick our college-aged pols, please bring me the one who danced like and not the one who told Rich Lowry, "So Medicaid...capping its growth rate, we've been dreaming of this since you and I were drinking at a keg."

    Female politician: <exists, is serious> "Why is she so unlikeable?" Other female politician: <exists, is fun and outgoing> "How are we supposed to take her seriously?" You guys aren't slick.

    Folks in 2018 covered the diversity of Dem candidates but the undercovered identity story was the increasing whiteness of Republican ones.
