Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation has been a hard thing to swallow, especially for women and sexual assault survivors.

The confirmation means that conservatives will have control of the nation’s highest courts and possibly for decades.
Since the confirmation, quite a few celebs have taken to social media to express their anger at his confirmation but also their hope for a better America.
