Now You Have Touched the Women You Have Struck a Rock;
You Have Dislodged a Boulder;
You Will Be Crushed

This poster from the anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa years ago has always spoken strongly to me.

It is applicable to the struggle against the new Apartheid that christo-fascist Vance and narcisso-fascist tRump want to bring down on women in 2025. They have pissed off grandmothers, fertile women, women without children, women with children, women with daughters, women who are unable to bear children, and cat ladies.

They have struck the Rock called Kamala and it is much heavier than they ever imagined possible because they always under-estimate the women they wish to oppress.
