If you are a European Union citizen, there is a concrete way you can support a peaceful resolution in Iran and Gaza: you can demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights. #peace #palestine #iran THREAD 1/

"Contrary to popular capitalist belief, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a socialist or a communist. In fact, it is righteous to want a society rootied in putting the basic needs of the community over the endless greed of corporations"

Married women: our right to vote is at risk if you took your husband's name. Weirdly, I'd say this is going to encourage newly married women to keep their maiden names. #VotingRights #USPol
question: I'm married and I have a RealID driver's license. will this be accepted as proof of US citizenship? NO

Will my birth certificate provide proof, even though it shows my maiden name? NO 

Will my marriage license provide this proof if I bring it with my birth certificate and REAL ID? NO

I'm already registered to vote. Am I guaranteed that I won't have to re-register? NO
