We need to fight against the SAVE Act now - it would strip women of their ability to vote if their married name and name on their birth certificates don't match. Another very dangerous voter suppression tactic.

When I started my Substack, I never dreamed I'd see my name in a list of so many women I admire. Thank you for everything you're doing to fight what's happening.

I am one of the 20% of your readers who is male and I heartily agree that the rescue of democracy will be led by females. I would also point out that grievous wars tend to be started by men, not women, with some rare historical events of women starting wars. I note that Robert and John Kennedy faced down the warhawks during the Cuban Missile Crisis and that John Kennedy wanted to extricate the US from Vietnam and curtail the CIA. He was married to the most stylish and erudite and literate First Lady the US has ever had. In speeches, JFK used to joke that he was the man who travelled with the woman they all came to see.

In Canada, where I reside, women have the constitutional right to abortion (decided by a Supreme Court of Canada decision in 1988); When states can arbitrarily decide what a woman does with her womb (politicians playing doctor), the right to body autonomy for American women becomes a geographical lottery, depending on where they live.

I absolutely believe in that. I also believe the great separation between men and women has grown exponentially. What i a happening with all of us?

One only look at the hyped-up adolescent machismo so routinely displayed by the MAGAites these days to see just how scared they are of the female force. Your today's advocacy of females should be repeated and repeated, and spread to other sites by those multi-subscripted. Don't be surprised if you see some democrats weak in advocacy of women. Some sites advocating old cadre democrats, infiltrating many sites with massively multiple postings, instituting unusually strict parameters, telling people what to say, how things may be written, etc., are in speedy mode to control their old cadre democrat dominance. Fascism can be defeated by the awakened female force. The world sorely needs there maturity.

For too long female-identifying women have been pushed aside.

It is clearer than ever after this stolen election: No white men are capable of saving our democracy.

The future IS female and female-identifying!

The unchecked algorythim. We talk about it while it slowly tears us apart. The law in Virginia solely focuses on children regarding ai and social media. Catfishes, which actually happened to me, happens to women mostly in middle age? Fucking menopause.

I had never heard of SAVE until yesterday. Hartmann does a very comprehensive report about it,
