The first picture popped up in my “Memories” today. In Jan 2017 the first Women’s March happened in Boston and gave me enough hope to get me and many of us through a terrifying time. For all the valid critiques of the ways some attendees centered white feminist concerns over intersectional ones, I think this was still an important step forward for intersectional feminism in general. The next Women’s Marches in Boston featured Black, Latinx, and Indigenous activists and much more awareness of the need for intersectionality and for us white ladies to be better listeners and amplifiers of our sisters’ words. If you want to be a truly intersectional feminist, find more Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and LGBTQ voices to follow, amplify, and learn from. Read @osopepatrisse, Angela Davis, James Baldwin, @ijeomaoluo, @laylafsaad, @tanehisipcoates, and @ibramxk. Follow these people and @rachel.cargle, @soyouwanttotalkabout, @janayathefuture, @jamie_s_margolin, @winonaladuke, @wetsuweten_checkpoint, @innocenceproject, @indigenouspeoplesmovement, @justice4matthewrushin @justice4saraya @mspackyetti @professor_crunk @iamrachelricketts @raicestexas @alotrolado_org @cosecha_harvest @blklivesmatter @repaoc @repjayapal @repilhan @repdavids @repayannapressley @repdebhaaland. I guarantee you will learn a lot a d be glad you did. If there’s a person or group you think people should follow, drop them in the comments. This is a long list but by no means complete! #womensmarch #2017 #fucktrump #protest #feminism #intersectionalfeminism #resist #whitesilenceisviolence #womensmarch2017 #fightlikeagirl #antiracist #antifascist #nojusticenopeace #impeachthemotherfucker #weshallovercome https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzApOuMZnT/?igshid=pry1fu5wejj4

In January 2017, we protested the inauguration of the cheeto guy during the Women’s March. My Mom, @arniepantoja ‘s Mom, myself, and many of our friends all came out together to make our voices heard. My warning to everyone as we come into 2020 is to not stop, keep voicing your concerns, keep fighting for what you believe, keep coming forward about the truth, and vote. I will am in support of @elizabethwarren and @berniesanders this has been clear before the primaries for the 2016 Election. I warned everyone in 2012 that what is happening now, would happen if a Republican was elected in 2016. Call me crazy again, but I will guarantee you it will be ten times worse if you allow this country to re-elect the cheeto guy. . . . #womensmarch #womenempowerment #feminist #feminism @womensmarch #girlpower #takethepowerback #powertothepeople #berniesanders #elizabethwarren #progressive #democrat #2020 #election #inauguration #womensmarch2017 #sistersaredoingitforthemselves #teachers #womenunite #womensrights #lgbtqrights #civilrights #healthcareisahumanright #treasonistrump #stopthemadness #testify #reproductiverights (at Demens Landing) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6v27-plJ_a/?igshid=e50l26lb9hnx

PURPOSE RISING: November Reign... by heidi siegmund cuda, aka @maewestside

November 7, 2016: Sunset Strip

Seated in a conference room, high above the Sunset Strip, I surveyed the view. All men, one me, all smiles.

The media company had called me, asked me to work for them, it was a good fit.

They needed a lady exec in their all male sea, and I had the bonafides.

As the two-hour meeting concluded with a tour of the spacious offices and cherry views of my favorite real estate, we chatted about the election and how exciting it was going to be to celebrate our First Lady President. We shook hands, and they told me I’d get a call on Wednesday to discuss salary.

Mein Hombre and I celebrated the next night at Peking Tavern in DTLA, with sushi burritos and fried sesame balls, as we listened to the election night results come in. 

The excitement downtown was palpable, but I was on edge. I was among the few veteran journalists who went public in the months before the election, pushing truth with my pen, unshackled by a corporation, while corporate controlled media was pushing info$pin for rating$. As a student of humanity, I found the uptick in hate on social media suspect, I just knew there wasn’t that much hate in the world. 

I had been told in September that Meintrumpf would win so I used my pen, 24/7 to combat lies, promote truth, battle the misogyny and bigotry that spewed with such great frequency it had become normcore and to fight what I knew to be the gaslighting of an entire nation.

Mein Hombre squeezed my hand as I saw flashes of red from the screen behind me bouncing off the mirrored wall. I can’t watch tv, but I could see the drawn looks on the faces around me. My guy told me, “Don’t worry honey. That’s the early results.”

Well, we all know what happened next. 

The theft of a nation, a fringe coup by mobsters and billionaire misanthrope$, in collusion with foreign enemies, fake pastors humpin for big oil, and a Vichy MSM, which played the MeinShitShow for laugh$, even though it wasn’t funny.

Wednesday came and I never got the call. I knew that room full of men no longer needed to check the box that they had a lady exec on their team. They could all go back to staring at each other around that big conference table, as he-mans women haterz clubs throughout the land were given a reprieve from entering modern times.

Pfffft. 

See, middle-aged women were thought to be unpopular before November 8, 2016. We were figgered for less popular on November 9. But a funny thing happened to that false narrative. 

We resisted.

By January 21, 2017, the day of the Women’s March, it became clear women were no longer going to be poor relations in their own Democracy.

We gals and the men who love and support us outed the pervy anchor hack$, outed the now-indicted mobsters who keep #manafarting on the world for profit, decade after decade. We outed the bigot$, and the denier phonie$, we outed the criminals and the oligarchs, and we proved our case: #bot45 #sad lulz.

So as it turns out, women do rate. We’ve seen the lady who was supposed to be Madam President show us what class looks like in treasonous times and how to hold one’s head up high like a real leader. 

And we’ve seen what déclassé looks like: Robert Mercer, Rupert Murdoch and Pootain’ all looking pretty dooshy, as they bet their greed on the wrong Pageant Queen, you know, cuz sanctions and tax cuts blasé blasé. LOL mofo$, cuz anyone who aided in getting #bot45 elected is now an accessory to his crimes against humanity and overall dooshiness.

Owning our data and with it, thought control, was the billonaire backup plan to a wobbly oil + war economy. And as we worked hard to out cybertreason, the #roi on data fuckery is now looking sketch as well. 

As our twacktivist crew has proven, the progress that people died for decade after decade cannot be unwound by a few wee greedymen. 

And now November 8, 2017, a year after the rift in the time space continuum that allowed cypertreason to mess with our country’s dignity, anyone who normalized the Real Fake President and his hackstaff is permanently unbankable, except of course on BotTV and Russia.

That’s right. Cuz we persist.

“The idea of fighting any fight alone is one that terrifies me, and I am lucky to fall back on a generation that believes in the same morals I do. My generation who I am so honored to stand representing right now knows exactly what is going on despite what many adults tell us.” - Rowan Blanchard (1/21/17)

Beautiful memories of Women’s Marches past and wishing there was one in Boston this year. The only possible reason I can find for there not being one is that Boston PD have recently shown themselves to be extremely aggressive against protesters, and after we all saw them trampling counterprotesters at the “Straight Pride Parade” they have likely been stingy with protest permits. If this is not the reason and anybody knows why nothing is happening in Boston, please tell me. It’s very sad that in this, the city of Abigail Adams, Ayanna Pressley, Martha Coakley, Elizabeth Warren, Lucy Stone, Phillis Wheatley, Judith Sargent Murray, and Melnea Cass, there is nothing happening where women, girls, femmes and allies can come together in solidarity. These are the moments I’m most proud of my fellow Bostonians and when I truly love this city best. #womensmarch #womensmarch2020 #feminismisforeverybody #voteblue2020 #vote #impeachtrump #impeachment #intersectionalfeminism #allyship #activism #resistance #thepeopleunitedwillneverbedivided #fuckmisogyny #protest #protestsigns #dissentispatriotic #womensmarch2019 #womensmarch2017 #bostonwomensmarch #standupfightback #boston #bostoncommon #bostonians https://www.instagram.com/p/B7d3Umagqnt/?igshid=1d5gmgyvdev9y
