That's a white feminist analysis. The Kardashians were NEVER financially free of men, and the men in their lives were central to their strategy for acquiring fame and wealth. Their initial wealth came from a multimillion-dollar inheritance from their father, a famous attorney. The Kardashians pandered to the Black male gaze with their numerous plastic surgeries, as a family of white women who paid to have Black women’s features. The Black men they've dated have admitted to advising them on how to imitate Black culture. It's not a feminist utopia if their successful empire under capitalism was built on theft from Black women designers (just Google the lawsuits against them). Their proximity to, and romantic relationships with, famous Black men paved the way on their highway of cultural vulturism. They're wrongfully credited as innovators of styles and trends invented by Black people. This isn't matriarchy, but white supremacy.
Ok I’m further into Citizen Kim. One under discussed aspect of the kardashians is how they live in a kind of feudal family estate arrangement in giant houses all within at most a 15 min drive of each other (many are walkable) so their kids can all be incredibly close. The men in their lives are barely important to the overall arrangement, they come, they go, they’re not part of the structure Kris Jenner has created. They seem kind of broadly hated by feminists but in a weird way they’ve created the ultimate feminist utopia, at least as it can exist under capitalism. They’re completely financially free from men, in fact any man that even wanders into the picture is often dependent on them, and their kids are raised in a kind of sisterly hive mom way. I think because they’re hot or at least dress to appeal to the male gaze this aspect of their whole thing is never discussed but it’s kinda radical. They’re essentially “post men.”

American singer Billie Eilish has shared an urgent appeal by UNRWA calling for humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza, where heavy rains and severe flooding have affected more than 100,000 people, inundating displacement camps and leaving families exposed to harsh winter conditions. Eilish shared two UNRWA posts on her Instagram Stories, including donation links to support the agency's humanitarian response. Her latest gesture adds to her previous expressions of solidarity with Palestinians, including her support for Artists4Ceasefire.

I hope you are all sleeping safely in your homes, surrounded by your families. I hope every child has warm clothes and every parent can provide the care their children need. I hope your children have umbrellas, raincoats, and rain boots for school. I hope your cities are prepared to respond to winter emergencies. Of course, sharing this news will change nothing for our families in Gaza, just as the warnings issued days ago changed nothing. Tonight, at 8:30 p.m., as families slept on the ground inside their tents, a massive landslide of soil and rocks buried at least two families in Deir al-Balah. The victims have been identified as: Habiba Hossam al-Zain, 4 years old Reem Hossam al-Zain Ibrahim Hossam al-Zain Salah Nabhan, 7 years old Mariam Nabhan The mothers of these five children remain in critical condition. The father of the first three children had already been killed by Israel. I hope everyone has heat in their homes.

Unbearable. Gaza screams for us to break the siege.

Hakeem Jeffries mocks the media and asserts he already has the votes for Speaker then endorses Chuck Schumer. This man is funded by AIPAC and Palantir, opposes Medicare for All, and will use his speakership to serve Wall Street and the Zionist war machine. The people desperately need a party because the Democrats don’t represent us at all.

Well, technically, Allah has permitted us to cook pigs in certain situations, only when there's absolutely no other choice. So, it checks out.

Despite losing his leg in the war—and we can only imagine what parts of his soul or loved ones he lost as well—this child hasn’t lost his love for life. To the tunes of traditional Palestinian Dahyeh, he insists on living his moments and creating joy, proving that resilience outlasts the harshness of loss. رغم أنه فقد قدمه في الحرب، ولا نعلم حقاً أي أجزاء من روحه أو أحبابه فقد أيضاً، إلا أن هذا الطفل لم يفقد حبه للحياة. على ألحان الدحية الفلسطينية التراثية، يصر أن يعيش لحظاته ويخلق الفرح، ليثبت أن الإرادة قادرة على الصمود رغم قسوة الفقد.
