The Suffrages Movement was not without hypocrisy & self hate. Look at Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s story. She was critical to the orgs formation. Still got shaded. Lots to learn from the past.

As expected, Jack Smith has filed a motion to dismiss Trump Jan 6 case on grounds that a sitting POTUS cannot be under indictment. But without prejudice, meaning the case can be brought again. Of courses there may be no appetite in 2029, but this preserves that option.

Given these shocking figures, it’s deeply disappointing that last month's Budget made no mention of VAWG. The specialist VAWG sector is chronically underfunded. Their vital, life-saving services urgently need sustainable, long-term funding. #InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfViolenceAgainstWomen
Did you know? More than one in four women will experience domestic abuse during their lifetime.

Today is Equal Pay Day 2024—the point when women, on average, stop earning compared to men and work the rest of the year unpaid.

This year, it’s two days earlier than 2023, signalling a widening pay gap.

Let’s act to close it. 💼

On Nov 20th, Equal Pay Day highlighted the need for urgent action on workplace inequality. Women, especially racially minoritised and Disabled women, face low pay, discrimination, and barriers to senior roles. Stronger policies are needed to drive real change. #EndPayGaps

Mika fails to defend cozying up to Trump as doing her job. She failed. Horribly. Thoroughly.

The backlash is deserved. The karma is oncoming. She’s not safe from Trump’s ire. Sane washed him in 2016. Doing it again.

Proximity to power…yadda yadda yadda. #mediaproblem

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t.

Insane.
Media Matters post about Project 2025 architect Russ Vought returning to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Vought is a leading proponent of using Schedule F to fire thousands of federal workers and replace them with MAGA loyalists.
