I’m pretty sure your side was just saying Billionaires are all the same, and none of them can be trusted.
Pretty sure you guys have been saying that for a while now.
Why didn't she do anything good for America??? Maybe buy some congress members & had them do the bidding for the people instead of funding genocide, such as codify roe, increase minimum wage, expand the Supreme Court, stop the price gouging, & help the 100,000 veterans who are living on the streets?
Maybe we just hate them for thousands of years of oppression and how they’ve brought our world to the brink. Pedophilia and rape come straight to mind. Not the same.
Nah man… False equivalency. Criticizing patriarchal norms isn’t the same as racism; it’s punching up, not down. Racism targets marginalized groups. “Misandry” is a term popularized by the “men’s rights” movement to deflect from misogyny and systemic inequality. It’s not the epidemic you think it is.
Lets hope she isnt bribed or pressured or getting attacked by unknown police. Make sure to keep her safe. The way things are going right now, nothing should be left to coincidence.
Yes, there are some trifling women too, but from what I’ve seen women have been the only people standing up to Trump. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren, etc..
God I hate this. (Not her, she's great) Terfy Right Wing propaganda to divide us. Aren't there enough awful women in power to make even the most Brainwashed girl power troll realise we are all in this together. And we need all the good people of every gender and color to fight fascism.
Women are generally more empathetic but gender isn’t virtuous. Kristi Noem is a female. Females can be sociopaths too. Let’s stop making genders the defining characteristic because that ain’t it. It’s the brain and the decisions people make what counts.
Yes. It's simplistic and dehumanizing to attribute people's virtues or vices to gender. "Women are blameless holy creatures" is just the flip side of Male Supremacism, and it's not helpful. What's remarkable here is that she's a billionaire who isn't a little Napoleon, at least so far.
Not necessarily, but in most cases, yes. If you become a billionaire from your own invention/creation, it might be extraordinary luck, but if you're still trying to make the numbers go up after that, yeah, that speaks to a certain lack of scruples. Donating $1B to charities could change the world.
She travels the world helping other countries. She is of the same caliber as The Oracle of Omaha and his son Howard.
Yes she’s a billionaire and female, which is superb, but mouths are flapping about her without doing the research. And it’s mostly women poo pooing Laurene. MAGA characteristics.
"Research" doesn't happen by watching youtube and reading puff pieces online. "Research" had us all believing Elon was pretty cool, too, a few years ago.
Besides, I was speaking generally and in her defense.
this woman controls enough surplus wealth to end hunger for several major cities while still living comfortably, but also mostly agrees with my values!
No matter how much the misogynist want to bury the achievements of the Women of Humanity it is they that keeps the fire burning of Society.
They are the ones that hold their mob together in the dark days of their Society not the male.
Are you serious? The Atlantic regularly bends the knee to the entire neoliberal system. Stop worshipping billionaires—they are nothing like you. This is blue maga circlejerk brain rot
Do you know Goldbergs history?
He has dual Israeli/US citizenship- has served in the IDF & was a prison yard for Palestinian political prisoners & he was included in a wardroom chat about bombing Yemen ,which is only targeting Israel because it has resumed its genocide of the Palestinians.
It certainly seems that way to me. I have been increasingly aware of females in ministerial work over the past decade. They have mostly impressed me. Of course there have been some nightmares too.
yes. nature is sending its messengers and they seem to be mostly female. they are dedicated mothers and fierce protectors, but fun loving and adorable and lovable. let them lead. their hearts are larger than the universe.
Puh-lease. She's just another out-of-touch billionaire Karen, taking part in performative religious rituals and using poor people as a shield, while she flies around with her 40-person entourage, and sleeps in her 70 million dollar mansion. Fuck her and fuck the Atlantic.
All the Washington Post & NYT people who canceled their subscriptions, might want to help this "failed magazine, does very poorly. Nobody gives a damn about it" magazine out with a subscription & maybe piss off FOTUS!!😉
@theatlantic.com
Oh for God’s sake. There aren’t that many billionaires in the world. They all know each other. They’re all on each others contact lists. It doesn’t mean they share each others’ perversions. Grow up.
I expect fox 'news' to start their pearl clutching on her any day now, thus prompting trump to sign another illegal exec order trying to bully her out of her 1A rights.
I call people scared to vote for a woman partly caused Trump’s 2nd term. Who overwhelmingly voted for him? I was referring to the context of the Atlantic article as well as all the other 💩 women keep doing: AOC, Duckworth, etc.
you know, democracy means we’ll have an equal voice. I wrote the mind on our heart to vote as you want to and still maintain order as a culture and a society with the Democrat party over the last four years and lower the net has proven the opposite of that, they are fascist their actions prove it
I honor her and also the memory of Steve Jobs ...she saved the country by standing by the principles of journalistic integrity to be the eyes , the voice of the helpless people
As long as journalistic integrity been observed and allowed to be expressed freely to safe guard national security ...that's good enough for me , i thot ya talkin about Fox News of which you are not wrong
More that she owns an outlet for the voice of the people, and has decided to allow it to continue to speak. She can, at any time, decide otherwise largely dependent on her personal and business interests.
If she wanted to be a voice of the people, she'd move to worker ownership and profit-sharing.
I don't like lots of things , that's why i am on bluesky doin my on show , although i have also one on twitter too which i get throttled a lot , we got a good show for ya on bluesky , patriot .. lol

Yay Lauren Powell but, the future is female? Have you seen this admin? And MTG and boebert and on and on. Unfortunately, women can be fascists too. I hope to see more and more liberal (moral) women and men standing up
White women and their vote in 2024 is why we have Trump in the white house currently... Don't pay yourself on the back yet. We knew how white men were going to vote, but then white women either didn't show up or also voted for Trump for whatever stupid reason and here we are.
I don't get to condemn the majority (over 60%) of white men who voted for the party taking away women's bodily autonomy and pushing hard to take away their right to vote? It's not just a small chunk that voted that way. Obviously, it's not all, but it is most.
I've got no problem with our allies and it's not 50% of our population with their boots on our neck 🤷🏼♀️ while I was speaking in hypothetical the point stands a good portion of yt men consider women property vs a real human with thoughts and needs.
The ones who consider themselves to be good men need to call out the misogynists'/white supremacists' actions MUCH more loudly instead of tolerating it. Evil is allowed to flourish when good men do nothing, right?
The future needs every person with guts, backbone, intelligence, and a loving heart. Yes, I'm glad to see a woman CEO being that good. But I'm cheering on everyone.
100% agree about Girlboss Liberalism. No Billionaire is a revolutionary and until any billionaire is renouncing over half their wealth for public goods they are not on our side. Are we 100% certain they are anti-trans, just going off this one cover?
They have printed Singal more than once and he's so virulently anti-trans that he effectively doxxes trans kids and stalks trans women weekly. That man should be jobless and penniless outside of the farthest right rags.
Yikes. Ok that’s frustrating to know folks like that are continuing to be profitably platformed. I wish our press wasn’t so toxically reliant on stoking antipathy.
OK but I don't understand your point. Listing a handful of women leaders doesn’t change the fact that the overwhelming majority of wars in history have been initiated by men. That’s not opinion; it’s statistical reality.
I do so want to believe that! Then I recall there's Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boubert, Karoline Leavette, Lauren Boebert, Laura Ingraham... and I thank God there are more than two genders.
The fact that you're liking my post highlighting how bigoted you're being makes me even sadder than seeing all these "haha Republicans are faggots, which is bad to be" jokes in the first place
GWB and Trump 1 got me used to seeing liberal "allies" constantly make homophobic/transphobic cracks whenever a Rep is in the White House, but y'all used to at least do the "they don't like LGBT people so it's an insult on them, not LGBT people" line- guess we're not even bothering with that anymore
You dropped this, queen. 👑 Thanks for calling this dumb shit out. I'm also beyond fucking sick of seeing 'allies' leaning on the same moronic tropes and 'jokes' that I'd expect from any socially conservative bigot.
Indeed they are. That's why blanket statements that "women should rule the world" seem to conveniently lose track of the fact not all women are qualified. More than most men, to be sure, but nonetheless the women mentioned in the OP are disasters.
Yep, your thoughts on “The Future is Female” are noted. I just don’t like when people say “they aren’t real women” as an insult even to cis women. They can be women AND monsters 😘🧟♀️
My apologies. I meant the OP in response to the statement that women should rule the world and those women popped into my mind who I think are disasters.
The fact that billionaires exist proves we have failed as a species.
By this point in our evolution we should be in coast mode... but no, we are allowing 3,000 people to control 8 billion and keep most of those in poverty.
Time for pitchforks and gallows.
Hey Kepano Kolohe..lol... sorry; I've lived here in East Hawaii for 47 years. Can't help but understand a little Hawaiian. Wanted to message you to say Aloha but.. oh well, thanks for the information. Oh, I spent over 30 years when younger in Ki-Aikido so I heard the word Kolohe plenty bra!
ABSOLUTELY!! Men suck and can't do anything right. All things must be interpreted through the lens of gender. We do not need to reach out to men at all. This needs to be the strategy, because it worked so well in the 2024 election.
Before someone replies without catching the sarcasm I wanna set the tone by agreeing with you 100%
Our strategy for young men has been absolute garbage. We admonish the lack of empathy instilled by patriarchy while showing men trapped in that system zero empathy for it. That's fucking dumb.
Hard to have empathy for men who don't even see us as human, just as walking baby-making machines. Harder still when they take it to the degree of saying, "Your body, my choice" to women's faces now to show their disdain for our existence.
We need to talk about what an ideal man is in the society we wish to see.
Particularly progressive men have a responsibility on that front. Cus right now the only ones validating men's feelings of hopelessness are monsters like Andrew Tate.
Shaming them for imposing abortion bans that kill women IS shaming them for their behavior. Shaming them for telling women, "Your body, my choice" IS shaming them for their behavior. Shaming them for calling to take away my right to vote IS shaming them for their behavior. No more excuses!
I completely 100% agree and that is entirely valid.
The unfortunate truth I've started to accept (and its a HARD pill to swallow) is that those of greater moral wisdom have the responsibility to take the high road.
That said, if someone is dangerous, no empathy expected. Safety first always.
Melinda French Gates, MacKenzie Scott, Laurene Powell Jobs — somehow the wives (or ex-wives) of these obnoxious founders always turn out to be good humans.
Why are we praising billionaires? You don't get to be a billionaire without exploiting people along the way. If any billionaire wants to be a "good" one, give away most of your money
There's no such thing as a good billionaire. Period
It's kinda ironic that cause right now three of the main far right leaders in Europe are women: Marine Le Pen, Giorgia Meloni and Alice Wielder. And then we have the legacies of Margaret Thatcher and Liz Truss or the impact of Isabel Martínez de Perón (or current defender Victoria Villarruel)
I truly is female. It's time to ask why the f*** people wouldn't vote for Hillary or Kamala. I really believe a lot of women lie they say they believe and strong leadership from women out of their mouth look behind everyone's backs they go a different direction and that's why we are here.
The Party of censorship, the party of domestic violence, the party that ran a candidate presidential candidate that no voter chose, the party that perverted the legal system to try to remove the opposing candidate that was chosen democratically. The DEMOCRAT party. The death of Democracy.
Just checked to make sure my subscription to The Atlantic is set to renew. Thank you to all the reporters, editors, etc. for your courage in the face of this onslaught from the administration!! Stay the course!!
The fact that this woman is a billionaire...is kinda the story here. Heaps of other female billionaires exist ... and aren't remotely doing anything tangible to help others.
Yeah. Let's trust another billionaire. Okay, maybe nobody with a conscience could amass and hoard billions of dollars while others are starving but it is plain to see that a conscience is no longer a prerequisite for leadership ability.
Comments
Pretty sure you guys have been saying that for a while now.
Remember ladies, hating men for being men is the same as hating women, or black people, or Asians, for being born the way they are.
But at the same time, we're in this mess because of a bunch of white cishet rich men.
I say, let them have their rage.
She's fighting for the resistance.
A bunch of females are fighting for the other thing loudly and terribly.
The future is *uncertain.*
Yes she’s a billionaire and female, which is superb, but mouths are flapping about her without doing the research. And it’s mostly women poo pooing Laurene. MAGA characteristics.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔝🔝🔝
and you can too, kids!
Anyone else noticing this?
Why are men so afraid to stand up??
Pam Bondi
Elise Stefanik
MTG
Lauren Boebert
Liz Truss
Maye Musk
Nancy Mace
Women are every bit as evil and corrupt as the men.
They are the ones that hold their mob together in the dark days of their Society not the male.
He has dual Israeli/US citizenship- has served in the IDF & was a prison yard for Palestinian political prisoners & he was included in a wardroom chat about bombing Yemen ,which is only targeting Israel because it has resumed its genocide of the Palestinians.
Are you suggesting he was intentionally included in the Signal chat?
Bondi
Levitt
MTG
Boebert
*These last 2 are a special kind of idiotic.

Stay strong. We can beat these maga nazis.
If she wanted to be a voice of the people, she'd move to worker ownership and profit-sharing.
Her not giving in to maga is great, but there probably shouldn't be one owner with that much power over a publication that caving to maga is a risk.

What, because she’s female?
GTFOH
Eat the Rich means ALL of them
Go back and look at the states Hillary and Kamala lost..
Then review the white female vote.
It’s staggering, they would’ve done this twice
it was Katharine Graham who made the ultimate decision publish the Pentagon Papers
Obviously excluding people like Kristi Noem, the puppy killer.
The few women who have been in that position have not shown any notable change in style.
Dismantle the patriarchy!
By this point in our evolution we should be in coast mode... but no, we are allowing 3,000 people to control 8 billion and keep most of those in poverty.
Time for pitchforks and gallows.
Our strategy for young men has been absolute garbage. We admonish the lack of empathy instilled by patriarchy while showing men trapped in that system zero empathy for it. That's fucking dumb.
Most hateful men start as sad kids & teenagers. We need strategies and rhetoric that helps them, cus shame hasn't worked.
We need to talk about what an ideal man is in the society we wish to see.
Particularly progressive men have a responsibility on that front. Cus right now the only ones validating men's feelings of hopelessness are monsters like Andrew Tate.

Hope can be a commitment, a radical act of resistance - regardless of what emotions we are feeling.
Hope is not sufficient in itself, but it's a step in the right direction.
Go girl, go girl, go girl!
And she is superb
Good on @theatlantic.com and especially its owner for standing up in dark times
also, while I'm at it, all billionaires are shit heads, *no* person needs that much money.
Unless you refer 2 people putting up memes to show 1 woman doing good things while ignoring the men doing good things & the women doing bad things.
And "the future is female" is very exclusionary and speaks to a gender bias.
