“We are where the suffragists were in 1916 when they did the same drive,” said Carolyn Maloney, who is spearheading a campaign to recognize the E.R.A. “They decided in 1916 that the 19th Amendment was stalled and they had to raise awareness. Now the E.R.Ais stalled.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/n...
We are driving for equality and for the Equal Rights Amendment.
But here’s what hasn’t changed in 110 years: the excitement, the commitment to equality.
Despite the snow on the roads, the car is ready, our drivers are ready. The Tour is ON!

In 1916, suffragists climbed into a Saxon motorcar, the Golden Flyer, on an 11,000-mile journey across the USA. A small car with a purpose: to awaken the country to the injustice of denying women the right to vote.. #Sign4ERA #Drive4ERA #ERANow #Saxoncar Follow the journey at buff.ly/wwacIBQ
The Golden Flyer 2 and the Driving the Vote for Equality National Tour for the Equal Rights Amendment Day 2: Trenton NJ. #Trenton #NewJersey.
Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora becomes the first mayor to take the Golden Flyer II for a spin. Sign on to Equality at www.sign4era.org #equalrights
Our Saxon Car Crew invaded the garage of Doug Tomb, of the Horseless Carriage Club of America, Falls Church, Virginia — because a century-old automobile on a 25-state mission doesn't fix itself.
They earned our gratitude big time. Full story and album at our daily diary -www.drivingthevote.org
The occasion: the awarding of ERA Champion Certificates of Appreciation to the members of Congress who co-sponsored the Joint Resolution to affirm the ERA as the 28th Amendment the last time it came to a vote — and who will, we expect and demand, sign it again. #Drive4ERA #womensrights #ERANow
On Day Five, the Driving the Vote for Equality team split into two crews — and both of them made history in their own way. #WashingtonDC

Women's Rights are Democratic Rights: The Global Authoritarian Backlash to Gender Equality, by Hillary Rodham Clinton
I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women.
As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us:
Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight.

Rubin: "On Jan. 4, Deputy AG Blanche wrote a memo instructing DOJ officials reviewing the Epstein files to flag 302 memos -- the form the FBI uses to memorialize interviews. That's the exact kind of document we reported yesterday was missing with respect to Trump's accuser."

MIKE LAWLER: As a long-term mechanism, I don't support tariffs
KATZ: But didn't you vote for tariffs? You say Congress should be a check, but you haven't done it. This is the problem with the GOP
LAWLER: Respectfully, I've pushed back on numerous things
Brilliantly pulled together and a more than worthy read for all!
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Here’s a sample of why wretched old pedo Trump would rather incinerate the planet than release the Epstein files.
#Epstein
#Justice4KatieJohnson
Trump isn’t de-escalating or lowering the temperature. He wants public pressure to lessen before he starts it all up again … in all blue states. The massive budget he set aside for ICE is burning a hole in his pocket. He can’t afford the truth in the Epstein files to come out.
You're paying for this.
Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs.
Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.
Wonder Woman defends herself from a Nazi as portrayed by Lynda Carter.
Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.
Sexual assault is the most silent #epidemic & an ultimate betrayal. It is normalized but many of us are working around the clock to change this culture. You can check out my #MsMagazine piece below.

As I was saying…
Today is 32nd anniv of NC “Making Marital Rape Illegal” (link👇🏼). B4 July 5th 1993, husbands who raped their wives prior to separating from them could NOT be prosecuted for raping them. Sexual abuse is a type of Domestic Violence #DV. I founded & co-led the NC coalition. arlainerockey.com/experience

They are, and I’m so sorry! I got fired for telling my story to the press.
#April is of #SexualAssaultAwarenesMonth and to “celebrate” the Department of Health & Human Services fired the teams that work on #sexualviolence prevention.
So, amid the HHS layoffs, the #sexualassault prevention division is completely gutted!
