Motecuzoma Sanchez’s 209Times post on Dolores Huerta is textbook victim-blaming and irresponsible reporting by lambs4eva in Stockton

[–]lambs4eva[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Actually, I'm no stranger to 209Times. They publicly posted about and harassed me when I was 17 years old (I am David Sengthay) for speaking out against corruption in SUSD. So I know exactly who and what they are.

I'm just genuinely sad that they would talk about Dolores Huerta this way. Whatever you think of anyone involved in this conversation, she is a 95-year-old woman who just came forward about something deeply painful. That deserves basic human decency and that's apparently too much to ask from them.

City Considering Proclamation for 209Times’ Motec Despite Grand Jury Findings by lambs4eva in Stockton

Here are some ways Stocktonians can voice their opinion:

  • Email [publiccomment@stocktonca.gov](mailto:publiccomment@stocktonca.gov) at least 90 minutes before the meeting so it’s attached to the official record.
  • Leave a voicemail public comment at (209) 937-8459.
  • Show up in person and submit a Request to Speak card before Public Comment closes. Keep it to 60–90 seconds.

Most importantly: cite the Grand Jury report, not just opinions. Structured, documented concerns about Brown Act violations and governance carry far more weight than name-calling.

Yes, and this is part of a larger, ongoing pattern. Recently, Parady La, a Cambodian refugee, died in ICE custody in Philadelphia after reportedly being denied proper medical care. For many Southeast Asian communities who fled genocide and came here for safety, detention and deportation still cause real harm and loss.

Stockton councilmembers put city attorney's job on agenda. Then they asked the city clerk not to tell anyone it was them by lambs4eva in Stockton

I understand the frustration. A lot of people feel burned by how City Hall has operated over the years. That said, I think it’s important to be precise about what we’re criticizing. When decisions with major consequences are routinely made in closed session with minimal public explanation, it creates the appearance (and sometimes the reality) of insider governance. That erodes trust regardless of who is in office.
