When I say "people died for this right", I'm not just talking about the 1960s Civil Rights marchers -- I'm talking about female suffragists like the ones in your photo.

We've ALL got a stake in this.

"It is perfectly legal for a man to beat his wife with a stick, so long as the stick is no thicker than his thumb."

Republicans miss that world and want to take us back there.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
