BOTD in 1885.
In 1920, Dr. Alice Paul and others celebrate stars added as new states ratified the 19th Amendment. Paul had already survived a prison hunger strike and force-feeding for picketing the WH, and had already drafted the ERA.
She died in 1977. The ERA is still not an official US Amendment.

They didn’t just hate Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Gretchen Whitmer, and Kamala Harris. They hate me. They hate you. They hate any woman who isn’t performing attractive feminine submission for their pleasure.

"The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too."
-Helen Todd
rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

A new study has found that restrictive access to abortion care is associated with higher preterm birth and maternal morbidity, in states that passed TRAP laws.
Proving of course that abortion IS healthcare.
Maternal Morbidity Increased in States Enacting TRAP Laws | AJMC
The maternal morbidity was compared between states that passed laws to regulate providers with states that did not.

COINTELPRO ultimately failed in the 70s because secrecy was its vulnerability. The Trump regime succeeds today because its members are openly proud of lawlessness and inhumanity.
How do we combat that and maintain our own humanity?

People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Guess how many undocumented immigrants are in the US? MAXIMUM 14M. Guess what removing 100M POC would represent? Returning the US population to 90% white...which we were until the 1950s.
