MOSCOW On February 14, a small group of women in the Russian capital marked Valentine s Day by holding a demonstration in support of jailed women they consider political prisoners. They also wanted to encourage Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of imprisoned opposition politician Aleksei Navalny.

When you know what those people are risking, you are ashamed to sit at home and complain in your kitchen.
essentially women, the fact he can t, you know, have sex with women because they don t find him attractive or specific kinds of women. it was a very long manifesto. ever since then, people in this incel community, or just toxic communities online, 4-chan, places like that, are hailing him as a hero. there was a guy who shot up a school, killed a couple people there. before he did it, his user name on the internet was elliott roger. that s where we re at. in florida, the parkland shooting, same thing. this guy pledged allegiance basically to elliott roger. so he is there, you know, he is their hero. this is a, like, very like it s a diaspara but it s a charles manson situation. how on earth did we get here? when we think about these school shooters, we immediately think how awful it is for the victims. what is the path that got them to such an awful place in an

when i first came to ocean bay, what i saw was despair. i knew something had to be done. hurricane sandy really woke people up, to showing that we need to invest in this community. i knew having the right partner we could turn this place around. it was only one bank that could finance a project this difficult and this large, and that was citi. preserving affordable housing preserves communities. so we are doing their kitchens and their flooring and their lobbies and the grounds. and the beautification of their homes, giving them pride in where they live, will make this a thriving community once again.
ugly, you should take it out on people. that becomes their tribe. that s what i was going to say. once some people make it out of that, but they don t come back to an incel forum to say i got a girlfriend, i got a job everything s fine. it s an extremist group. it s like isis. but hating women. okay, but think about that. if the group if the chats that manasan were on last week were isis chats, if they were labeled sis, not incel it would be the only thing we re talking about, it would be the number one thing on president trump s agenda. that s right. instead, we keep pushing this and the school shooters off. well, nobody wanted to go to the prom with them so they just shot up a school. isn t it just as dangerous? absolutely. the thing is we have to take the simple fact we know from the research that humans need relationships to thrive. that s a simple fact. and we live in a culture, a modern culture that increasingly doesn t value that and increasingly doesn t ta
