Filipino labor leader Larry Itliong being remembered on Farmworkers’ Day

YouTube

Today in Labor History March 31, 1927: Cesar Chavez was born. Famous for his role in leading the United Farm Workers and, now, even more infamous for his sexual assaults on women and girls in the movement, it should be pointed out that there were numerous other abusive and rotten aspects to his leadership style that affected both women and men. For example, in 1967, he launched his first of several purges of the UFW, ostensibly to remove Communists. However, there was no evidence of communist infiltration of the union and it was most likely a move to solidify his autocratic rule.

In the 1970s, he blamed “illegal immigrants” and “wetbacks” for UFW failures and launched the "Illegals Campaign" to identify illegal migrants so that they could be deported. His cousin Manuel Chavez established a UFW patrol, or "wet line," along Arizona's border with Mexico to stop illegal migration into the US. Actions such as these led to conflicts with many progressive groups that had previous collaborated with the UFW, including the National Lawyers Guild and the Confederation of Mexican Workers.

In 1977, Chavez became infatuated with the religious cult, Synanon and used Synanon’s “game” to punish union members and enforce conformity and obedience to his authority by subjecting members to harsh, profanity-laced criticism from the rest of the community.

He also expressed support for the brutal Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos, and specifically his declaration of martial law, which alienated Filipino members of the union, as well as many of the religious organizations that had supported the UFW. Ironically, Chavez had originally travelled to the Philippines in order to win back support of Filipino farmworkers. And, contrary to the official mainstream narrative, it wasn’t even Chavez who had started the UFW, or the Delano Grape Strike. Rather the 1965 grape strike had been initiated by Larry Itliong and the Filipino-led AWOC. The nationwide protest lasted five years and ended with the first union contract for U.S. farm workers outside of Hawaii.

Today: Rimane incastrata con il braccio tra le porte del tram e viene trascinata per 50 metri

Una donna di 30 anni è rimasta incastrata tra le porte di un tram a Milano ed è stata trascinata per circa 50 metri. La vittima, una turista filippina, ha riportato solo alcune contusioni, ma se non fosse intervenuta una pattuglia dei carabinieri le conseguenze sarebbero state ben più gravi. Cosa...

She remains trapped with her arm wedged between the doors of the tram and is dragged for 50 meters.

A 30-year-old woman was trapped between the doors of a tram in Milan and was dragged for about 50 meters. The victim, a Filipino tourist, sustained only some bruises, but if a patrol of Carabinieri hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been far more serious.

Today
Instagram's very high false positive, and not offering a channel to appeal the wrongful suspension, cut me off from not just the #Filipino community in #Threads but also from my network, friends, and relatives in Facebook.

So, this is far worse than I imagined. Because #Meta demanded to link #Facebook accounts to #Instagram last year, if your Instagram is gone, you won't be able to login to your Facebook either because it wants to be verified via Instagram—the two-factor authentication is useless.

Instagram's very high false positive, and not offering a channel to appeal the wrongful suspension, cut me off from not just the #Filipino community in #Threads but also from my network, friends, and relatives in Facebook.

The hard truth: the #Philippines and the Filipino people are at the mercy of Meta, in particular, Instagram.

@youronly.one.ofcl

So, my @youronly.one.ofcl account was suspended because I logged-in to #Instagram side and added a verification code to an older selfie upload. Now I no longer have access to the large #Filipino #Threads community.

This is the second time already, the first was my original account `youronly.one` and no one from Instagram assisted even after I went through their Face Verification process thrice.

Anyone who can lend assistance to get my `youronly.one.ofcl` account reinstated and have it placed in some whitelist so their automation scripts are not hitting it with false positives? I rarely login to the Instagram side because I don't need it, the only reason I have it is because Threads originally required an Instagram account.
