🙃 Morning, CoSo.
I thought this was going to be a wee news brief for #OnlySky.
Instead I wrote about the ERA's latest death in a way that returns us to the whole history of its intersectionality with labour rights, and more.
I... think I'm getting a little fed up with the way that the serious socioeconomic issues facing the US (and world) are being hijacked by trans panic, queer panic, and general hostility toward women?
Just a lil' bit?

@MLClark I so agree and at my age it’s extremely fatiguing.
@TheresaVermont I opened the article with the image of resurrecting the very much dead and gone Mott and Stanton from the 19th century, so I think this ERA saga should make *everyone* feel old.
The battle to extend the ratification period on the damned thing is older than me. 🙃 Maybe it's time to consider a new 1776?
