Fuck Musk

“I’m actually a very gentle person. I served for 12 years in the Oregon House of Representatives, and I gained a pretty darn positive reputation for getting along with people of all political perspectives and getting things done. So it might seem a little out of character for me to state this, but we are now at a point in our country that I believe the Democratic Party needs to become the party of Fuck You. You want to let billionaires continue to take most all the wealth of our country and leave the vast majority of us without the basic needs for a good life? Fuck you. You want to have a health care system that gives huge profits to investors and lets everyone else suffer and die? Fuck you. You want to take away women’s right to their own bodies? Fuck you. You want to discriminate and harass the most vulnerable people in our country—migrants, LGTBQ people and others? Fuck you. You want to have one law for you—let you break any law you want to so you can make more money or have more power—and another law for everyone else? Fuck you.”

it’s been two years, but i think that an icon like her deserves to be known about by more people.

her name was freddie oversteegen and she, at the age of fourteen, along with her older sister truus who was 16 and their friend johanna “hannie” schaft who was 19, was a part of the netherlands most famous all female resistance cell which was dedicated to fighting the nazis and dutch traitors.

among other things, they are known to have blown up bridges and railroads, smuggled jewish children from concentration camps and, as the tweet mentions, seducing nazis and then shooting them with guns that they had hidden in their bike baskets. freddie is quoted as having said that they “had to do it.” and that it was a “necessary evil, killing those who betrayed good people.”

though freddie and her sister truus were both lucky and survived the war, hannie schaft wasn’t. at the age of 24, hannie was caught and around three weeks later was executed by nazis, only 18 days before the netherlands were eventually liberated. she was shot with one only wounding her, and, before the final shot, hannie is quoted as having told the executioners: ik schiet beter, which translates to “i shoot better.”

though she didn’t survive, hannie is recognized as a national icon and a face of the dutch resistance, with her story even being retold in a movie from 1981 called “the girl with the red hair.” along with this, truus also founded the national hannie schaft foundation in 1992, on which freddie served as a board member.

freddie, at the time of her death, was 92 years old and the last surviving member of the resistance cell, with truus having died two years earlier at the age of 92.

though these women and all that they did played an important part in the dutch resistance, they are often overlooked in history outside of the netherlands. it’s important that they are remembered and that their work to save people isn’t forgotten. it’s incredible what they did, especially given how young they were, and they deserve more recognition than what they’ve gotten.
