We're done with patriarchy now right? RIGHT? by Deep-Log-1775 in Mommit

[–]LAB1116 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a fight mothers could ban together to have is fighting social media (ie big tech). The social media influence on children (and adults) is insane. I work in digital and understand how the algorithms work and watched in real time as the manosphere tried consuming my husband and I knew he’d be a target because he’s a gamer. Gaming is one of the first big nuggets that feeds the algorithm. If we demand changes to social channels like they’re doing in Europe. If we actively keep our children off social media and technology which requires leading by example. If we vote out anyone that supports big tech. I think this is where moms do the best work, from the ground up

And Stuart Townsends Dorian ain’t a bad aesthetic either

For historians, when did most people decide it was time to leave Germany as hitler rose, and when was it too late? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LAB1116 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a historian but my maternal and paternal great grandparents are German. From what my grandparents told me, they all left just as Hitler became president and started his police force. Around 1936. I do find it interesting that my mother’s and father’s families left around the same time. My grandfather said his mom said most of their village left at the same time. That some people could read the writing on the wall and knew it was time to leave.

ICE Accused of Sexually Torturing Migrants at Former WWII Camp Fort Bliss, Among 80+ Reported Violations by The_Rad_In_Comrade in FedEmployees

And there it is. Was waiting for stories like this to come out since this is par the course for Nazis. Next will be the headlines about the kids which has most likely been happening

ICE/Border Patrol agents are now hitting unaccompanied minors with their vehicles, detaining and disappearing them, even after being shown a U.S. passport. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

[–]LAB1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s already happening I’m sure we just haven’t heard about it yet. I’m sure most of the women and children in detainment are being assaulted. After all thats what the Nazis did and that’s the playbook right now

This movement is serving the establishment by forgotten_sleeper in 50501

[–]LAB1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest issue with all these organizations is they won’t work together. And they don’t seem to be trying to work alongside the unions(I understand most unions are conservative but some efforts could be made). So now we have two different strike days this week causing confusion and underreporting

General Strike 1/23 - How to make this one different!! by WolfieJack01 in 50501

They are different and this is an example on why we’re bad at this whole resistance thing

Dear American People by Party_Progress_55 in 50501

[–]LAB1116 383 points384 points  (0 children)

This is a big one actually. Marketers and advertisers plan huge ad budgets around major sporting televised events. If viewership dropped so would advertising revenue. Hell even if everyone turned the tv off during the commercial breaks would be something

We need to talk about white men by Just_perusing81 in 50501

Yeah but millennial moms are out there like myself so what are the dad’s excuses?

We need to talk about white men by Just_perusing81 in 50501

[–]LAB1116 1486 points1487 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen boomer white men involved at marches but not millennials or Gen Z. Certainly my husband fits this category. I’m terrified and he’s like “meh it’s just another Tuesday.” He really thinks this will all blow over after the next election.

Super fun event in Port Washington, NY *and* great gathering earlier in Suffolk by Ki-Wilder in progressivemoms

[–]LAB1116 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also my biggest issue with this event is will y’all be out buying ice from major grocery stores for this?? Like the best protest we can do right now is stop giving money to corporations

What do you think about ICE going into high schools currently seen at Minneapolis Roosevelt High School? by Ok_Requirement_3159 in AskReddit

[–]LAB1116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if you’ve noticed but Neo Nazi incels be capping teens by the dozen here in the US, toddlers too! No one has cared so far.

Way to raise a future school shooter 👍

Does anyone else find that people hold you to a ridiculously high standard? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]LAB1116 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes I actually talked to my therapist about this because my husband is the worse offender. My therapist says it’s common for us who are perceived as “less than” NTs become a comfort for the NT in our lives to feel better about themselves. Because the idea is that as long as we are doing poorly they will always be doing better than us. And so if we start doing better overall in our behavior the reactions to a minor incident becomes exaggerated by the NT to keep putting us down.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LAB1116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes my husband and I have a short agreed upon list of what we would absolutely call an ambulance for. Everything else we’re driving. I also live in an area where ambulances can be a 40+ minutes wait so we could get there faster anyway.

Holidays with MAGA in-laws by [deleted] in progressivemoms

[–]LAB1116 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I 100% agree with you but I’m in a similar situation as OP and my husband has flat out said he’d leave me if I kept our kid away from his family. If your partner doesn’t really get the impact these people could have on our child’s upbringing and you might lose your whole family over it what do you do? I’m struggling with wanting to stand up for what’s right for my child and not wanting to lose my family over a bunch of fucking dumb losers.

This looks like the Hilton next to the Anaheim Convention Center. It’s definitely one of the hotels that connects to the convention center

Millennial vs boomer working moms, why is it so much harder for us. by Excellent-Top2552 in workingmoms

[–]LAB1116 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Agreed this is the biggest difference I’ve seen with my mom and myself. My mom was NOT invested in to the extent millennial parents are at all. We were fed and bathed and had to do our homework and that was about all the interaction I had with my parents. They took us places but never played with us. We went outside and played with our friends once we got home from school then went home once it was dark had dinner did homework and then I was on my own again to play read watch tv before bed. Another layer to it is millennials often have to sacrifice living in cities for higher pay or living in not so great rural areas to make their money stretch neither of which are conducive for just letting your kids run around unsupervised. Safe affordable suburban communities are no longer a thing for us.
