Dolores Huerta issued a statement following the New York Times’ investigation into sexual misconduct by Cesar Chavez medium.com/@dolores_hue...

Today, civil rights leader Dolores Huerta issued the following statement:
“I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for.
I have encouraged people to always use their voice. Following the New York Times’ multi-year investigation into sexual misconduct by Cesar Chavez, I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences.

After a weekend of California politics, I am feeling a wee bit cynical. Then I remembered that cynicism is a kind of grief, and decided to look for some heroes who are fighting the Trump administration to feel better. I'll start with some lawsuits: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Fixed it for you.

An edited screenshot of Chris Murphy's post saying, "DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE." The edit crosses out in red the words "an out of control," in the last sentence.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!
