Kindness is Punk

I couldn’t agree more unfortunately it just feels like the only real solution would be one at the government policy level

I can’t imagine trying to pay with cash anymore, stores aren’t really set up for it anymore

we only maintain cash symbolically

I hear your frustration, and I won’t deny that some feminist spaces have blind spots or even hostility toward men’s issues. But dismissing the entire movement because of those flaws is like rejecting democracy because some politicians are corrupt it throws out the good with the bad. Feminism, at its core, is about dismantling rigid gender roles, which harms men too (e.g., stigma around male vulnerability, custody biases, conscription).

You’re right that some self-labeled feminists don’t live up to that ideal, but that doesn’t negate the millions who fight for parental leave, against male suicide stigma, or for LGBTQ+ rights. If you’ve been burned by hypocrites, I get it but I’d encourage you to judge ideas by their best advocates, not their worst.

That said, I’m open to your examples. If we agree the goal is equality, maybe we can find common ground on where movements fall short.

Maybe in some circles but I’ve always felt welcomed and supported by the women around me. I’m sorry that you can’t say the same.

I want you to know that your feelings are valid but please don’t let the actions of a few reactionaries spoil the entire ideal that feminism stands on.

I knew it was bad but it’s no sidewalks by default bad down there? I’m sorry for your loss.

While that can definitely be true, it’s not the case in this instance, they actually did say Russia was justified and that Ukraine joining NATO provoked the war.

It’s pretty clear that Trump’s stance toward the slaughter of Ukrainians has been one of quiet complicity.

CRAB PEOPLE

Capitalists won’t be happy until our future is not but ash.

The only one I could use would be 5.

If I had to pick 4, 5, 9 and donate the money.

TL;DR:

Craig Fuller, founder of FreightWaves and once a potential Trump transportation pick, says the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods have triggered a supply chain collapse, truck traffic from LA ports is down 23%, with 50% import drops predicted. Even major logistics firms like Knight-Swift blame “toxic tariffs” for plummeting volumes.

Sorry, I’m just summarizing the article to practice my writing. if it isn’t in the article I usually won’t catch it. Thanks for the additional context though!

TLDR:

Israeli airstrikes killed at least six Palestinians guarding aid trucks in Gaza, according to Hamas, as aid distribution struggles due to looting and delays.

Israel says it allowed 300 trucks in since easing its blockade, but aid groups say it’s not enough and many supplies are stuck at the border.

The UN warns of extreme hunger, with two million people at risk of famine. Meanwhile, Israel intensified strikes overnight, hitting 75 targets.

The conflict, ongoing since October 2023, has killed over 53,600 Palestinians,

This would make a great sequel to Bully

I’m not a bot I’m just trying to make people’s lives easier while also working on my writing skills!

TLDR:

The Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling or retaining international students, accusing the school of fostering antisemitism, violence, and ties to China.

DHS revoked Harvard’s student visa program certification, forcing current foreign students to transfer or lose status.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from acting against current students.

TL;DR:

The DOJ charged Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with “assaulting” an ICE agent after she tried to visit a detention center in her district.

Footage shows ICE agents were the aggressors during McIver’s visit.

The charges are politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of Trump targeting opposition figures (especially Black Democrats) who challenge his policies.

The media’s coverage has been extremely soft on criticism for these alarming abuses of executive power, but this is nothing new to those of us who have seen the news in the last 12 years.
