- #MooreandMe: And Then He Came Down
- …we turned all our hope… to Rachel Maddow, and asked her to end #MooreandMe. And she got on her show, and she said this:…
…with great seriousness, that respecting those women and taking those charges seriously was important…
…I got a “thank you” from Michael Moore. You did. We all did.
…Keith Olbermann is on his Twitter saying it’s “misogynist” to characterize two women with date rape claims as being “in a tizzy,” which Assange did… Keith Olbermann will never acknowledge that his prior coverage kind of skimped on basic standards of both journalism and human decency. But, as many of us pointed out last night, we still accomplished something.
…We went from just a random bunch of frustrated feminists, a random bunch of people on Twitter, to a force capable of changing the rape apologism in the narrative of one of the world’s biggest news stories.
…The chief thing #MooreandMe gave me… was faith in the idea that activism can change things.
