Well, here's Gordon Brownwell's letter to Harry Dent. Dent worked for Strom Thurmond, Goldwater, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and George H. W. Bush.

Thread (1/28) Today, @Hulu drops the 1st episodes of #MrsAmerica which tells the story of our failure to ratify the #ERA in the 70s/80s. I know this story-You should too. Why? B/c it explains the 2016 election. Really? What does the ERA have to do with Trump’s win? Glad you asked
(2/28) “At one time, ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment seemed like a foregone conclusion. In fall 1971 and spring 1972, the #ERA sailed through the House & the Senate by votes of 354 to 24 and 84 to 8” from my piece in @washingtonpost #MrsAmerica washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0…
(3/28) On 3/22/72, the #ERA moved to the states for ratification with a 7-year timeline. It needed 38/50 victories to become the law of the land. 3 states passed it in less than 24 hours (HA, NH, DE)! 5 more passed it by the end of month (IA, ID, NE, KS, TX)! #MrsAmerica

Found the kid playing with her dog instead of Zooming with her teacher. She told me not to worry. She took a screenshot of herself “paying attention,” then cut her video & replaced it with the picture. “It’s a gallery view of 20 kids, mom. They can’t tell.” She is 10. #COVID19
(1/5) Thanks for the LOVE folks! A few things: 1-she was still listening & they weren’t doing a lesson just checking in. We’ve talked about when it’s inappropriate. She gets it. She’s always pushed the limits, but her heart is big.
(2/5) She says she took a full-screen screen shot, cropped it, made it a virtual background, and covered the webcam with a sock. Yes, I’m both proud and scared.

THREAD: (1/11) 3 years ago, @ewarren read Coretta Scott King's letter opposing the 1986 appointment of Jeff Sessions to a fed'l judgeship. @ewarren thought King's objections remained relevant in 2017 as the Senate considered the confirmation of Sessions as the US Attorney General
(2/11) In her letter, Coretta Scott King was critical of Jeff Sessions' actions as a US Attorney in the early 1980s, and she did not want him to have a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. For example, she wrote:
(3/11) King's 1986 letter and testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee should have been entered into the Congressional Record. However, the Chairman, Senator Strom Thurmond (SC) (who ran for Pres. in 1948 on the Dixiecrat segregationist ticket) apparently forgot to enter it.
