You've checked to make sure your own voter registration is updated. Now it’s time to get your friends and family ready to vote early. Ask 3 people—via text, email, or social media—to check their voter registration today. If this is the one thing you can do all week, do it.

When an abuser has access to a gun, it makes it FIVE TIMES more likely that a woman will die at their hands. No one should ever have to experience the pain of losing a loved one to domestic violence.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
