The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

The Supreme Court ended our constitutional right to abortion 4 years ago today. In #AHAPerspectives, we've covered this across several articles (and several years). Linda Kerber wrote in the immediate aftermath.

Sorry to miss #HATM tonight, but have some family celebrations going on. Enjoy the film.
The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.
max0206.bsky.social@max0206.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf you believe that not voting sends a message, you’re wrong. It just shows you’re out of touch. If you want change, you must go to the voting booth. Voting is your constitutional right to make changes to your government. Register to vote, help a neighbor, help someone get ID and register to vote

“We need a march, the first of its kind in Washington DC” Marching on Washington was already a thing before 1913 – like the unemployed protestors known as Coxey’s Army in 1894. See the suffrage march chapter in @lucyg2024.bsky.social's wonderful book www.ucpress.edu/flyer/books/... #hatm #suffs

"never been done," hmmm.... About 300 women marched in the U.S.’s very first suffrage parade, in Oakland, California, in August 1908. 3000 women took part in the New York suffrage march that same year. #Hatm #suffs localwiki.org/oakland/Wome... suffrageandthemedia.org/source/march...
BTW the recurring #suffs slogan "Finish the Fight" is the title of a great suffrage history for younger readers by Veronica Chambers! bookshop.org/p/books/fini... #HATM #FinishTheFight
Ah, it's Wilson's take on "Pretty Women" without the creepy undertone. #hatm #suffs #SweeneyTodd
though I eventually learned that many English suffrage activists often also rejected the radical term "suffragette" -- and that some radical Americans embraced it. #hatm
The Deadly Political Index! Alice and the NWP took this strategy from NAWSA and kept it up for the suffrage amendment and the ERA.
