No, there’s a period there (I think?). That’s when she joined USA Today.

Y’all, I forgot to put her birth year: 1945. I have a little bit of a head cold and I’m half brain dead.

Nancy Woodhull.

Woodhull died of lung cancer on April 1, 1997, at the age of 52. She was posthumously awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF). She helped redefine β€œwomen’s” news and was a leading proponent of quality journalism and equality for women. /end

Woodhull dedicated much of her life to breaking the glass ceiling and ensuring diverse voices were represented in newsrooms. Alongside feminist icon Betty Friedan, she co-founded the Women, Men and Media research project in 1988 to monitor how women are covered and portrayed in the media. /4

Republicans use Iran strikes to pressure Dems in DHS funding fight β€” POLITICO GOP lawmakers argue that homeland security should be prioritized over partisan squabbles as the threat of Iranian attacks rises.

The GOP want to use the illegal bombing of Iran to force the Democrats to fund DHS.
Trump started a war to evade Epstein.
If they want to fund DHS they need to impeach the pedophile in The White House and charge him with rape.

Protesters outside the US Embassy in Lebanon attempted to breach the green zone as tensions tied to Iran escalate. Lebanese security forces deployed tear gas to push back the crowds, amid growing fears of a wider regional conflict.

Women’s History Month starts with a reminder from the Obamas.

Progress happens because women refuse to accept limits placed on them.

We celebrate how far we’ve come.
And we keep fighting for what still isn’t equal.

The work continues. Always.

Happy Women’s History Month.

Anyone still confused?
MAGA, do you see that he is AGAIN committing acts of war? Without congressional approval, which makes them illegal?
What part of this makes him a "peace president"?
Call your members of Congress. They can stop him NOW.

Trump bragged about being a peacemaker:
β€œI can’t think of anybody in history that should get the Nobel Prize more than me… nobody else settled wars. Obama got it. He had no idea why.” Meanwhile, he just launched a war in Iran with Israel.
What a disgrace.

Rep. Crow has seen war up close.
He says Americans are DONE with endless conflicts. Working-class people pay the price while DC elites talk tough.
Congress must return now, hold a War Powers vote & demand answers from Trump before this spirals into another forever war.
