March 6, 1884 - Susan B. Anthony and more than 100 delegates from the National Woman Suffrage Association met with President Chester Alan Arthur concerning women's right to vote. Anthony asked him, "Ought not women have full equality and political rights?" He responded, "We should probably differ on the details of that question."

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1872, #SusanBAnthony voted illegally in a US election and received a fine. Women did not gain the franchise until 1920, after a century of activism, sometimes militant and often illegal. #Patriarchy and #misogyny are crimes against humanity that must end.

How do we make sense of the world? How do we make our ways through it? Rejecting "blind builder" and "helpless witness" narratives: "Not Just a Camera, Not Just an Engine" @vgr.bsky.social (Plus- Susan B. Anthony)

Today in Labor History June 18, 1872: The Rochester, New York police arrested Susan B. Anthony for attempting to vote, in violation of laws allowing only men to vote. She was convicted, but refused to pay the fine. In 1878, she and Elizabeth Cady Stanton arranged for Congress to introduce a constitutional amendment that would extend voting rights to women. In 1920, it was ratified as the 19th amendment to the constitution.

Today (Tuesday) is #PrimaryElections day in my home state of #Illinois.

As usual, by the time the #PresidentialPrimary reaches my state, the choice for each party's #POTUS candidate has already been made.☹️

But remember that there's a lot more on the ballot than just the White House. We've seen the effect that local elections have on national events, and how choosing the right candidates down-ballot can be key to honest and secure #elections, protecting #WomensRights and #LGBTQrights, fighting for the #environment, stopping #BookBans, funding better #education for everyone, and so much more.

Google to find out more about your local candidates. Take an extra minute to make an extra impact.

The weather is supposed to be fairly nice tomorrow across most of the state. Get out and #VOTE like your life and basic human rights depended on it...

Because this year, they DO.

November 5, 1872 - Susan B. Anthony and a few other women in Rochester, New York, voted in the presidential election, all of them for the first time.
Anthony wrote later that day to her fellow suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, “If only now—all the women would work to this end of enforcing the existing constitution—supremacy of national law over state law—what strides we might make . . . .”

Ohio Anti-Abortion Campaigners Are Getting Clobbered in Fundraising

It seems like things are going very badly for people against codifying abortion in the Buckeye State, as they've been out-raised by $20 million in recent weeks.
