Here a photo of the statue, currently set up in front of a Busboys and Poets cafe.
Anonymous activists put this up last month on the National Mall, but the Trump admin tore it down. It's baaaack, with a few "scars," as one of the activists told me.

So, uh, the Jed Rubenfeld referenced here was disciplined by Yale Law for sexually harassing students. He's married to Amy Chua who among other things took to the pages of the NYT to defend Kavanaugh when he was under fire for sexually harassment. Ken Starr, well we know. This is just incredible.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.
