KBJ is the new RBG on SCOTUS. A powerful voice in defense of democracy.

What an honor! #LWV Council 2025 #LWVUS #LWVIL #LWVWilmette “Respect means being seen and heard” LWV ED Celina Stewart in conversation with Pres. Dianna Wynn @diannawynn.bsky.social

NO KINGS demonstration in North Carolina. The people are rising to defend democracy!

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Following the violent removal of US Senator Alex Padilla at a press conference held by the Department of Homeland Security in Los Angeles, California, the League of Women Voters of the United States and the League of Women Voters of California issued a joint statement: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

I signed a commitment to Unite & Rise to defend democracy. We need 8.5 million people to commit to this work. Will you make the commitment? (FYI--This is NOT a fundraiser!)

If you're organizing or attending protest events, know your rights! The ACLU provides excellent guidance. Please review it. I hope to see some of you out on Saturday. #NoKingsDay #immigrantsmakeamericagreat

Strongly recommended reading! Only about 250 pages. Research-based conclusions but very reader-friendly writing style. Request that your public libraries order it and read it! Much of what's happening is straight out of an authoritarian playbook.

Bad news: Political scientists suggest we've crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism. Good news: The American people can stop this through courageous and collective action.

I can’t say I’m surprised, but I AM appalled. This move at DOJ Voting threatens the very backbone of voting rights enforcement. Now, civil and voting rights groups will have to step up more than ever before. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Conservative columnist David Brooks calls for a national civic uprising to combat the Trump administration's attacks on democracy. I agree.

The League of Women Voters is a plaintiff in this suit! ACLU (and others) are providing our legal representation.

League of Women Voters declares democracy is in constitutional crisis. "The foundational principles that have sustained our democracy — checks and balances, the rule of law, free and fair elections — are under direct and sustained threat." Proud to be part of an organization fighting for democracy.

FILED: The League is intervening in this case to ensure that all residents – not just citizens – be counted to ensure fair representation and equitable distribution of federal resources, as required by the Constitution and federal law. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

The League is suing over the recent unlawful executive order on voting---League of Women Voters et al v. Trump et al. We will not be silent in the face of attacks on democracy and on our voting rights!

The SAVE Act may as well be called the anti-voting rights act. Here’s why:

“For the sake of our judicial system, we ask you to terminate your litigation now.” #ncpol

It was a pleasure to serve on a panel about the ERA at my local League's Timely Topics event yesterday. Always nice to be with my local League members. FYI--The ERA has been fully ratified and should be implemented immediately! #ERA #LWVWake

My new blog article on common political grassroots tactics. When someone asks you what they can do, refer them to this blog to get them started. Help get others activated to agitate! For my seasoned activist friends, thank you for being in the fight for democracy! #LWV #Fight4Democracy

At the United Nations this week for the Commission on the Status of Women forum.

In Alabama with the League of Women Voters for 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday for commemoration, inspiration, and opportunity to be in community with others fighting for democracy.

Places like The Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama, are so important when we're seeing efforts to distort, suppress, and erase major portions of this nation's history.

Protesting the administration's attacks on democracy with the League of Women Voters. #Light4Democracy

Tune in if you can!

“The Washington Post is dying not in darkness but by the light of noon, and by its own hand,” George Packer writes. The demise of an independent press in the United States might not look much like what readers expect: theatln.tc/Uu1eHotV

Is this how the USA surrendered to Russia? This and the obscene ruckus in the White House today?

"Trump administration recognized February as Black History Month in order 'to celebrate the contributions of so many black American. . . This is the height of hypocrisy. Because all we’ve seen from the Trump administration this month are direct attacks on Black Americans." Read our full statement.

League of Women Voters urges you to use your power, including your power as a consumer, to send corporations and politicians a message. Join today's economic blackout. Oppose abandonment of important DEI policies and the outsized influence of corporate interests over the voice of We The People.

League of Women Voters & partners are calling for a national vigil on Tuesday, March 4th, the day of POTUS’s Address to Congress. Instead of tuning in, We the People will host community gatherings to bring people together in reflection, action, and solidarity. #Light4Democracy

DUI Hires are okay apparently

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

I'll be participating in the economic blackout on Friday.

This. Is. Insane.

😉

Everyone Else: Rushing to the store for milk and bread before the snow/ice storm. ❄️🍞❄️ Me: Making sure my kindle is fully charged in case we lose power. Gotta focus on what's most important. 💙📚 #booksky

Brian and I took a break midday to attend the People v Griffin Rally at the NC Capitol. Protesting Griffin's efforts to throw out 60,000 votes in a race for the NC Supreme Court that he lost to Allison Riggs. Every. Voter. Matters.

I plan to be at the rally at the NC Capitol on Monday!

The 8th edition of my book is now done and in print! It was a joy to work with my coauthors on this.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Excellent blog article on DEI by our CEO, Celina Stewart @thecelinafactor.bsky.social

"The good news, such as it is, is that the administration doesn’t yet seem to have taken the plunge. The bad news is that this seems like a live possibility, and nobody really knows what will happen if it does."

The ongoing attacks on DEI are baseless and unacceptable. Let me be crystal clear: the League stands with those who understand why fully committing to diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging is smart for business and good for ALL. We will move forward, no steps backward.

Contact Congress to tell them you oppose the SAVE Act. Go to lwv.org where we make it easy for you to do this.

Finished reading "Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future" by Jason Stanley. Worthwhile read. #booksky

The archivist who should have published the ERA? www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Some of my calls may have contributed to this. Sorry not sorry.

"In the first 17 days of the Trump administration, we’ve witnessed nothing short of the weaponization of government against Americans."
