  6. One of my favourite photos, partly because the council have now iron-fenced this grave off and, IMHO, turned it into a Victorian look-don't-touch memorial, kept apart from the people. It had so much more of a "she was one of us" feel to it before.

  15. Women Get the Vote: Manitoba Leads the Way in 1916 🗳️🚺

    On January 28, 1916, Manitoba became the first Canadian province to grant women the right to vote in provincial elections. It was a significant milestone for women's suffrage in Canada. The victory in Manitoba resulted in other provinces and federal government to follow, leading to universal suffrage for Canadian women. #Canada #Womens #Suffrage #Manitoba #History

    "House passes Save America Act, Trump-backed bill to impose new voting rules

    Bill that requires proof of citizenship and would limit mail-in voting passes 218-213 but faces uphill battle in Senate

    (. . .)

    The Save America Act, introduced by Chip Roy of Texas this year, expands on changes to voting laws in the 2024 bill, adding a nationwide photo ID requirement to vote, with a list of acceptable identification that is stricter than many states that already have voter ID requirements. Student IDs are explicitly not allowed.

    (. . .)

    The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates that 21 million Americans neither have a copy of their birth certificate nor a passport. Those potential voters are more likely to be poor or people of color, the organization says.

    'We’ve got to look at this in its totality,' said Rebekah Caruthers, president and CEO of Fair Elections Center. 'The whole point of this is to restrict who gets to vote in this country.'"

    The SAVE act has been passed by Congress but has yet to be introduced on the senate floor. There are 278 days until election day. The SAVE act will be something that the GOP deploys between now and November 3rd. Voter disenfranchisement is a multi-pronged attack.

  32. The War on ‘#Wokeness’ Comes to the #US Mint
    The Treasury Department unveiled new coins celebrating #America’s 250th anniversary. Left unmentioned amid the event’s fife-and-drum pageantry was that these coins also represented a rejection of a different set of designs — meant to commemorate certain other inspiring chapters of the nation’s history, including #abolition, women’s #suffrage and the #civilrights movement.
