The Nineteenth Amendment
Yesterday, I intended to write about the Nineteenth Amendment prohibiting states from denying women the right to vote because today is the anniversary of the amendment’s certification in 1920.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.
Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs
They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

"dogmatic"

I suppose my position on trans rights is "dogmatic," because it flows from my "dogmatic" belief in individual rights to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, self-determination, bodily autonomy, and equal protection under the law.

I guess NYTimes doesn't believe in that "dogma."

No, New York Times. That's not what trans people are saying.

If passed, the SAVE Act would make it significantly harder for millions of eligible citizens to vote.

The House has already passed it — tell your Senator now to reject this bill and defend our democracy.
Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

When you’re the oppressed, you don’t get the luxury of ignorance. You study the system, the people, the power structures. Not by choice, by necessity.

Be honest about your own knowledge or lack of. We have a lot to offer each other if we just listen.

Mabel Ping-Hua Lee (1896-1966), was a leader in the women’s suffrage movement and even led a parade of nearly 10,000 people through New York.

She was the first Chinese woman to earn a PhD. in economics in the United States.
