Modern society my be too individualistic, but living in traditional communities with most everyone being expected to contribute to kids' lives is NOT the utopia people are claiming. This would reinforce traditional gender roles and erase many queer and neurodivergent people's identities.

I am a feminist but am now against "matriarchy" bc of the way the definition is being morphed. Reproductive status does not make a better leader. Ppl of all genders and w/ or w/o kids should all be leaders. Women w/ kids are not always the best leaders for everyone like they are claiming to be.

I see way more posts of women with kids demanding that random child-free women support them somehow than I see posts of women demanding their husbands do equal work. I think everyone should work less hours per week and fathers should do more. Everyone else has right to their own lifestyle.

Every single post of women with kids complaining about child-free women is "TL;DR - I am not saying that women without kids are lesser than me, but everything should revolve around me and my kids." Lol. You don't have to say something out loud to imply it.

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

IDK how to explain to people that if a group of people with a different identity than you tell you that something is hurtful, you don't get to decide that it isn't. It does not matter what kind of "rational" explanation you give, people's feelings are still hurt so stop doing it or saying it.

According to the academic who asserts the 3.5% metric: Success meant “full achievement of the stated goals”. No Kings has no clearly stated goals. I would like for more people to pressure them to make concrete demands. Otherwise, 3.5% participation guarantees nothing.

I have always leaned towards not wanting to change my name even if I marry again, but if anyone ever wanted to convince me, congrats this gov has done it. I will NEVER change my name. Fun fact: Im divorced but never changed my name because I lived abroad & didn't want to fill out the paperwork.

I have been seeing some weird content online. It basically boils down to women with kids thinking they are better for doing all this work, yet also demanding random childless women to help them. I understand needing paid leave, etc., but if the workload is still unbearable, it is not our fault.

Someone needs to hijack the crowds brought out by No Kings marches and organize them to actually do something. The current leadership is not cutting it. Without concrete goals and escalation, we will be in the same situation for at least the next 3 years.

These events need CONCRETE DEMANDS, otherwise it is performative and pointless. I have participated before, but these events have failed to evolve into anything meaningful. The only vague demand is to "abolish ICE" but how does this event make that happen?

I would caution against using the term "religious psychosis." Very few religious extremists are medically psychotic. Illness cant be helped. The word you are looking for is "cult member." It isnt a mental illness but a choice influenced by group think. They may be misled, but they are responsible.

Know your history. Jimmy Carter went on to build more affordable homes than any other president.

Paid 30% more for gas today. I thought Trump was going to lower gas prices, he said?

It doesn't make sense to not listen to marginalized groups and then try to appeal to their morality. "Oh but if you dont vote for my platform that doesnt include you then I will suffer." Ppl who didn't care when it was someone else dont get to play the morality card.

Tired of hearing "it is not a race or gender war but a class war." It is all of the above. No one said it had to be either/or. The people saying that only care about class because it is the only part they think affects THEM.

Fascism always attacks women, minorities, LGBTQ, disabled ppl. Yet the solution is for us to "forget about identity" & unify with enablers who will not reflect? Just so it won't affect YOU. It still will us, just more quietly. If we dont kill the root, idc. I will not sacrifice myself for your sake.

A critique of labor unions decades ago in the US is that they mainly benefited white men. If we focus only on a "class war" mostly white men get more $ in a better economy and women are still made more dependent on men. All while we have social media saying to put us in our place. It isnt hope to me

I do not know how to get people to understand the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Unless more people stop saying "a woman cant win," a woman will never win. It is demoralizing and does more damage to sway public opinion than any blatant misogynist can ever do. Stop manifesting their world.

I am tired of living in a world determined by naysayers. If "they cant, we cant" is your reason for voting, you aren't envisioning a better world. Which is why we will end up with the same hellscape we have now.

My new hobby is telling mansplainers "well no you just think your feelings are fact." Fragile men love being called emotional. 😆 But seriously, I am over it. Imply I'm stupid and I'll imply you're overly emotional. Anyone who knows me knows I am a quite objective person who looks at facts.

Do not say it is because Talarico is the only one who can win. Mansplainer just told me the poll where Crockett has better odds was fake news paid for by Republicans and asked me "are you new to politics?" Lol. Just say "I am a white guy who likes white male moderates." You can just say that.

We dont need to win over and sing kumbaya with MAGA. We need the people who have been sitting on the sidelines because no candidate is perfect to actually f*cking show up to vote.

I think Joe Biden did a pretty good job considering the disaster he inherited. Talarico is not that progressive, so unless he's going to ban grocery stores from price gouging or something, I don't want to hear the "trying to win moderates" playbook recited. I voted for Crockett yesterday.

We HAVE to win the midterms and push dems to break up monopolies, especially in the media and tech. WB acquisition is practically state controlled media.

🎁 Article “Texas has the chance to send a fighter like Jasmine Crockett to the United States Senate. Jasmine has the experience and record to hold Donald Trump and his billionaire cronies accountable.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/u...

The Texas GOP provides ballot information that is way easier to access and read (they have a better website), so i literally use their info to vote against them 😆 Seriously the TX dem party needs a better website though.

Hillary Clinton: "If this Cmte is serious about learning the truth…it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of 1000s of times he shows up in the Epstein files." news.sky.com/story/epstei...

Texas primary senate race: At first, I was more drawn to Crockett, then it seemed to me like Talarico was the better speaker overall...But a good point was made that he is more likely to lean moderate once in office. Crockett has already proven she will fight in Congress. So my mind is made up.

People: *act surprised when royals who are told they are better than everyone else due to bloodline are narcissists and generally evil people.* I'm sorry, but duh. They spend loads of money on PR designed to make you sentimental about them, but they're a useless institution.

I wrote them a letter blasting their morals so I hope that contributed.

Being raised Catholic has protected me from thinking ovulation tracking is an effective birth control method 😆 MAHA women will be out here acting like they discovered some new thing and I'm just like "sure if you wanna end up with 4-5 kids anyway like all the Catholic women ik who do that."

Debunking viral misinformation: multiple "cures" for cancer are NOT being announced because the US left WHO. A number of advanced research breakthroughs (not even really cures) were announced around February 4 because it is world cancer day. US healthcare system is broken, but this is unrelated.

I’d like to report a murder. 😆😆😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

TrumpRx supposedly helps people pay less for prescription drugs. In reality, it sends users to pharma giants’ websites, where they can pay out of pocket for certain medications. One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board. Funny how that works.

Question: if men simply cannot control themselves if they are attracted to a woman (or a CHILD) why are women the ones supposedly too emotional to lead the country? Uncontrollable dick brain sounds like a real Achilles 👠 We literally have pedo dick brains leading us, but a WOMAN???

Your healthcare being tied to your job is corporate-sponsored violence designed to hold you hostage to a toxic environment. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

One of the reasons we are losing our rights in America and much of the world is overconsumption. We have no community, are lonely, have no time for hobbies due to too many hours at work. We try to fill the void by buying crap. Then, that money goes to the same companies ruining our society.

I think due to such strong forced cultural assimilation of previous generations in the USA, most white people erased their own cultural traditions so white supremacy and evangelicalism are all that is left. I am still white and not perfect, but glad I had my family's Italian traditions instead.

The North Texas library ebook collection (and most if not all of the physical libraries that participate in it) no longer possess a copy of Fahrenheit 451. The irony of a library not possessing a book about the government burning books.

Okay, but let's get real. This not a "win" but just the beginning of what needs to happen. Calling it a "win" sounds like falling for ICE's PR move and then some people will get complacent. Was Target changing CEOs months ago even though he is also bad a "win" or a PR move?

It is difficult when so many people live in apartments and cant grow much of their own food...But anyone with any yard at all should plant a garden and share...Same for hunters. I am down to buying very little meat because my dad deer hunts. I have money, but dont want to contribute to this economy.

Educated women aren't having less or no kids because they ran out of time. You can finish a Ph.D. by 26. There is plenty of time. It is that educated women are less likely to accept being an indentured servant. This is true in every country, even those with free childcare and healthcare.

We are always placing the responsibility on women to learn how to defend themselves and I'm seeing even more of it now...I'm gonna be real with you. I weigh 95 lbs. If a man decides he wants to attack me, I'm going down. How about the bigger people kick his ass. Stop tolerating abusers in society.

Trump, Putin, etc are awful but once they are gone, tech billionaires will still be running the world unless their is massive, coordinated social unrest. Tech bros such as Musk, Zuckerberg, and Altman are today's "Axis powers." They are patriarchal fascists who will loot every country, not just US

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Everyone should laugh at and bully grown-ass men who feel "threatened" by unarmed women half their size or smaller. Honestly, that is embarrassing for them to even say out loud. I have more balls than that and I weigh 95 lbs.

Generally, I think my high school world history teacher was good but she did this one lesson where she said the issues in Israel were sooo complicated bc you cant divide that country in a way that suits both groups' resource & religious needs...The solution is called "share" & "eugenics are bad."
