Equality Era Now

On this day in 1922, the SCOTUS upheld the constitutionality of women's right to vote.

10 confirmed undocumented voters in 24 years. Out of 1B+ votes cast. From the Heritage Foundation's OWN database. The "voter fraud crisis" is a myth. 🗳️ #VotingRights #FactCheck

For those keeping score at home:

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

It's Sunday, and if you like me, are snowed in? It's a great day to leave voicemails for your elected representatives.

DEMAND they defund and abolish ICE.
DEMAND impeachment.
DEMAND accountability for Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Last week, Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent. RFK said it decades ago: "Whenever any American's life is taken unnecessarily... the whole nation is degraded." We cannot normalize state-sanctioned violence. Say her name. Demand accountability.

JUST NOW: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social arrives at the start of the new Tennessee legislative session with a huge “ABOLISH ICE” flag

Trump withdrew the U.S. from 66 international organizations on Wednesday. Climate, human rights, security, health—GONE.
This isn’t “America First.” It’s America alone.
📞 Call your reps. Push back on this reckless abandonment of global leadership. Our safety & planet depend on it.

'I can get loud': Adelita Grijalva becomes a voice for sexual assault survivors The Arizona Democrat is the least senior member of Congress, but she was thrust into the spotlight as her fight to be seated coincided with the Epstein saga.

"I can get loud."

In the wake of the Epstein fight, Rep. Adelita Grijalva has become a voice for sexual assault survivors.

"Advocacy for people that feel like they don't have a voice has always been something that I'm very comfortable with. I think that it is our responsibility."

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Every year on November 20th, we pause to remember the transgender people we’ve lost- to violence, to hatred, to a world that too often fails to protect them. Trans lives are not expendable. Trans people deserve safety, respect, and the freedom to exist. 🏳️‍⚧️

Despite billionaires spending obscene amounts of money and the Trump regime putting the entire weight of its propaganda machine behind slandering Mamdani, he still won, because we, the people, will always be more powerful than them.

They want us to believe they’re inevitable—the truth is: we are.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

🚨 Breaking: Mikie Sherrill is projected to win the New Jersey governor’s race.

The Trump administration is also refusing to use the SNAP contingency reserves, set aside for this exact purpose.

Speaker Johnson still refuses to work.

He's terrified of what’s in the Epstein files. So terrified he’s willing to let his constituents go hungry when SNAP benefits run out on 11/1.

Republicans care about one thing: protecting Trump—even as he (literally + figuratively) destroys the White House.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Some reminders for those of us going this weekend!

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings
