On #ThisDayInHistory in 1917, a group of #suffragettes called the #SilentSentinels, which included #DorothyDay, were severely beaten at #Occoquan Workhouse in VA for picketing the White House. This changed public opinion, forcing Woodrow Wilson to endorse women's #RightToVote.

"The fact that so many men on the right are more determined than ever to silence women’s voices and strip women of their votes is strong proof that the impact of women is, as they feared, existential to their extremist worldview.

Their panic, which has now led them to bizarrely call for a world without empathy, confirms that women are leading us along the correct path and must continue to press ahead, no turning back."

"Increasingly, for many in MAGA, the move to overturn the 19th Amendment poses an existential question. Prominent voices in the white Christian nationalist movement—one now deeply enmeshed with MAGA—view the repeal of women’s right to vote as more than about winning an election. It is a means to return to Biblical principles and a necessary step toward creating a theocracy in the United States."

"According to last week’s exit polls, women—particularly young women—broke strongly for Democrats and were arguably directly responsible for the Republican rout that we saw on November 4."

"Not sure which is more disturbing: that so many men want to turn back the clock on women’s suffrage or that they are so willing to post such regressive beliefs proudly and publicly.

Either way, it’s clear that this move to repeal women’s voting rights has taken hold in corners of the conservative movement."

"In the aftermath of last week’s blue wave election rout, the 19th Amendment has been trending on X. Turns out, some MAGA men are sick and tired of women driving Democratic electoral victories. As a remedy, they are openly calling for the repeal of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote upon its ratification in 1920."

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess

The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to vote

By Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.

"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.

" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."

Here we go again. For years #Trump has decried #election security, and now he threatens to withhold #ElectionSecurity funds from states…While at the same time removing the rule that explicitly banned using federal grant money for activities that "could be used to suppress #VoterRegistration or turnout."

To be clear: He wants to make it okay to suppress your #RightToVote by taking money away from election security and putting it into #VoterSuppression. https://www.npr.org/2025/08/22/nx-s1-5508345/election-security-grants-trump-voting-policy

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves — and the only way they could do this is by not voting.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Radio Broadcast (1944-10-05)

Secretary of Defense #PeteHegseth, who oversees about 3 million #military service members and #civilian employees, reposted a video last week advocating repealing the #19th #Amendment, which #guarantees #women the #righttovote. The video is an excerpt from CNN anchor Pamela Brown's interview with Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson, who Brown reports believes "women shouldn't be able to vote." https://apnews.com/article/women-hegseth-defense-secretary-religion-d962f472910fb47a0c66cd37b01f550d #christian #nationalism

There it is. I knew this was coming. They have made very it clear they are coming for everyone. He says he envisions a country and world where everyone is Christian. I have no problem with christians, but there’s this little thing called freedom of religion? F this guy.
