A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Susan B. Anthony, the legendary American suffragist, abolitionist, and women's rights pioneer, taken in her later years. She is seated in a formal pose against a plain dark background, wearing a high-necked, long-sleeved black dress with elaborate lace trim and floral-patterned lace collar and cuffs. Her white hair is neatly styled in a low bun with a small decorative comb or ribbon. She gazes to the left of the camera with a calm, resolute, and dignified expressionβher face conveying unwavering determination and quiet strength. The image captures her as a tireless advocate who co-founded the National Woman Suffrage Association, fought for decades to secure voting rights for women (culminating in the 19th Amendment after her death), and remains an enduring symbol of perseverance in the struggle for gender equality. The soft lighting and formal composition highlight her as an icon of the suffrage movement.
Susan B. Anthony dedicated her life to women's #suffrage & campaigned for the abolition of slavery, women's property rights & more: susanbanthonyhouse.org/her-story/bi...
Active until she died, #OTD in 1906. She never got to vote in her lifetime (well, legally that is).

MAJOR BREAKING: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Iraq cut oil by 6,700,000 barrels per day.
- This is 33% of their total oil production.
- This is 6% of global production.
Meanwhile Iran says they are ready for a long war.
Trump did that, not Biden, not Harris, it was 100% Trump.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, theyβre under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

A Tale of Two TeamsβWhy Trumpβs Joke Wasn't Funny
Locker room "jokes" contribute to a bigger problem with how women are treated.
Both U.S. Olympic hockey teams won gold. But only the men got a presidential call and celebration, while the women were met with a joke at their expense. The contrast isnβt just about sports. Itβs about how respect, power, and attention are allocated in our culture.
