"Even after the commission declared its charges against Mulholland, he was allowed to keep practicing while the case proceeded. He saw patients as late as May, before he went on leave.

At least 84 patients have filed lawsuits against Mulholland or his employer since the state’s investigation became public."

An OB-GYN Was Repeatedly Accused of Sexual Misconduct. The State Medical Board Let Him Keep Practicing.

The first accusation against Dr. Mark Mulholland came in January 2022. Two more arrived in 2023 and a fourth in 2024 before the board took action against his license last year. Then even more patients came forward.

Interesting verdict from this Dutch court that requires Grok to immediately stop AI-generated Sexual Abuse Content from Dutch citizens.

Also interesting that the Court applies the verdict separately to two companies, such as X, who offer GROK to their Users. They have to stop doing so as long as Grok does not meet European regulation or also face the same €100,000-a-day fine.

“History shows us that women have done this time and again—working to liberate others from a broken system, all while being neglected, unprotected, and left to suffer in silence."

“Women of color will give our whole bodies to create better worlds, and what happens? We’re stuck choosing between liberating others or advocating for ourselves. We’re burdened under the egos and fables of men who used their power to disempower us."

"She deserves justice, and we need to investigate why so many women who are the heartbeats of our movements are made to pay so dearly and are failed by the community so deeply.”

“Abusers thrive on silence. They use decorum, respectability politics, shame, and deceit to manipulate others while abusing their targets.

One of the most powerful things we can do is disrupt this cycle by telling the truth. Shoutout to Dolores Huerta for showing us how courageous we can be when we believe in ourselves."

~ Jenn M. Jackson professor of Black Studies

“The silence she kept for 60 years was not weakness. It was the impossible weight that survivors of sexual violence are forced to carry—often to protect others, often at profound cost to themselves. That she carried it while simultaneously building one of the most important labor movements in American history makes her courage almost incomprehensible."

A Movement Responds: Leaders Rally Around Dolores Huerta After Chávez Allegations

In the wake of a New York Times investigation detailing allegations of sexual abuse by labor leader Cesar Chavez—including testimony from Dolores Huerta—a chorus of feminist leaders, organizers and advocates are rallying around Huerta, centering her story and the broader truths it reveals.  "She birthed children he forced into her womb. She convinced herself to endure it alone to free others. My God, this grief I howl."
