Yeah, I'm sold on Dolores Huerta day

@disorderlyf @DeliaChristina

Agreed. So say we all.

[deliachristina@sfba.social]

It's enraging.

The absolute betrayal.
Not just in this context between Chavez and Huerta in the migrant workers' movement.

But in all spheres of a woman's life: touchpoints of trust VIOLATED BY MEN.

Coaches
Doctors
Professors
Bosses
Coworkers
Comrades
Priests
Pastors
Friends
Husbands
Fathers
Family
Allies

We don't need to wait for our 'enemies' or strangers to abuse us when the men we TRUST are willing to do it.

Fucking FUCK.

Once again, men soaked in patriarchy are the weakest link. Not even your leftist politics can wipe off that stench.

FUCK.

(Specifically for the dudes reading this--if you're not giving up your power, you're not really an ally and are probably part of the problem.)

@DeliaChristina fuckin patriarchy, its abuses and violations, belittlement and disregard, knows no party, race, class, or creed. The oldest supremacy that informs all the others. It just keeps poisoning all of us. Especially nauseating in movement spaces. But, also, nauseatingly unsurprising. It’s exhausting. The fight continues

I feel like a good first step would be GETTING THE RAPIST SHITBIRD OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!

@DeliaChristina
Have you read “the gate to women’s country” ?

Perhaps the author wasn’t too far off base ‍️

I am a bit sus when capitalist media facilitates personal hit pieces against dead socialist POC icons. Especially when we are under trumpism. All respect to 95 year old Huerta, but this seems way too convenient to the current regime for my taste.

The stakes are high in countering accusations against Trump for the exact same acts. And i would also mention that there is a LOT of corrupt money potentially at play here, especially now.

A grain of salt seems reasonable here.
