Did MSM ever ask trump …


If you say you have a concept of a plan, is that code for having no plan for equal pay or in general?

Why did it appear as if trump’s campaign will not engage with women’s increased workforce participation

Do you have a Plan For Working Families

Will he make sure Companies pays female employees fairly

What will the trump admin do to change the appearance that his has zero interest in increasing access to high-quality, affordable childcare

I don’t know about you, but I did NOT hear trump or anyone in his campaign discuss or have a plan for working families before election 2024. Working families need comprehensive national solutions to pay equity and child care— which the campaign either lacks or outright opposes— but in order to ensure that working families have a fair shot at financial stability, families also need access to paid family and medical leave, paid sick days, a fair minimum wage, fair scheduling, and access to reproductive health care.

In Memory: a personal story … Berlin Wall 25yrs ago 11/9


 … The fall of the Berlin Wall

I was seven years old when thousands of East German signature cars arrived in my hometown of Hamburg and filled the air with odd-smelling blue smoke. I saw strangers hugging each other, tears in their eyes, their voices tired from singing. I was too young to understand it all, but I had a very strong sense that life was different now–and that different was better.A quarter-century later, it is our obligation to tell this story to all those who couldn’t be there, who could not feel the spark of the peaceful revolution and, more importantly, who are fortunate enough not to know the feeling of an incarcerated, divided existence, trapped behind concrete walls.  It is a story that demands to be told today, and for generations to come.

I’m excited to have been part of making this doodle commemorating such a pivotal moment in history — to learn more about the making-of, check out the doodle team’s post here.  We should all take the time to celebrate 25 years of unity.

1917 Supreme Court decision (Buchanan v Warley) strikes down Louisville, Kentucky, ordinance requiring backs & whites to live in separate areas


Buchanan v. Warley 245 U.S. 60 (1917)

Buchanan v. Warley was a US Supreme Court case that declared a Louisville, Kentucky, city ordinance prohibiting the sale of real property to blacks in white-majority neighborhoods or buildings and vice versa unconstitutional. 

The case was brought by the Louisville and national NAACP on behalf of William Warley, a black postal worker who contracted to buy property in a white area from realtor Charles Buchanan. The ruling of the Kentucky Court of Appeals was reversed. 

The Buchanan decision marked a victory in the battle against racial segregation, but it focused only on upholding property rights, not affirming equal protection under the law.
