Throwback Thursday:
AMAZING WOMEN FOR INTERNATIONAL WORKING WOMEN'S DAY: ERIN BROKOVICH AND HELENA NORBERG-HODGE, Part One
International Working Women’s Day (Mar 8) was a Socialist instituted holiday in the early 20th century to recognize and honor women in the struggle for emancipation from capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, and sexism—-not a day to honor war criminals like Hillary Clinton; establishment shills like Kamala, Nancy, and Michelle; or functionaries like Victoria Nuland.
I will use this time to focus and honor on women who make a difference without being co-opted by the establishment.
Stay tuned for more installments!

"What is a woman?"
A human being born with a uterus.
Hail women. ❤
great interviews. due to the incredible attack on women and children this International Women's Day by the identity challenged as well as the outright predators backed by wacko "doctors" and "teachers" I think it IS important to acknowledge that this day is about women and not about men who pretend to be women.
