The rally on Saturday, in which some demonstrators risked arrest, reflected activists’ growing frustration with the administration.
"Women couldn't own property, they couldn't sign contracts, couldn't get a mortage, couldn't testify in court, they couldn't vote. It wasn't until [1974], after decades of women's struggles, that they could have credit cards… They are not going to be forced back into the home." https://t.co/MC3s6RU78T

When President Biden describes this great world conflict aimed at isolating China, Russia, India, Iran and their Eurasian trading partners, he characterizes this as an existential struggle between “democracy” and “autocracy.”
By “democracy” he means oligarchy. And by “autocracy” he means any government strong enough to prevent a financial oligarchy from taking over government and society and imposing neoliberal rules – by force. The ideal is to make the rest of the world look like Boris Yeltsin’s Russia, where American neoliberals had a free hand in stripping away all public ownership of land, mineral rights and basic public utilities.
