Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

if you buy used books and want to avoid amazon where possible, check out bookfinder.com

you can search essentially every marketplace in one go

so you can, e.g., find the same used copy for sale, from the same seller, on biblio.com or ebay instead of amazon or abe (owned by amazon)

Not being able to talk to a real person at the Social Security Administration when you need help or your local office closing due to staffing cuts is a benefit cut—point blank.

Elon needs to get his hands OFF Social Security.

Repost if you agree.

Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme.

Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Turns out, while we were singing ‘So Long, Farewell,’ we let corporations become ‘people’ and opened the stage for disinformation. Now, the encore is misinformation and manipulation on a global scale. Maybe we need less spectacle and more vigilance.
