International Women’s Day Protests: From Equal Pay To Topless Tirades Against Trump

International Women’s Day 2025 was once again a global spectacle of passion, empowerment, and—apparently—creative protest methods.

While women in Spain went on strike, Italian activists waved banners, and Americans held rallies, the real showstopper came from Paris, where women took to the streets topless. Their cause? Donald Trump. Yes, the same Donald Trump who now occupies The White House and who still lives rent-free in the minds of feminists worldwide.

Sporting nothing but body paint and righteous fury, these women chanted against the former U.S. president, who once infamously bragged about grabbing women by the… well, you know. Why they chose Paris for their Trump protest remains a mystery—perhaps the croissants made misogyny hit differently.

Meanwhile, actual French issues, such as pension reform and gender pay gaps, were momentarily sidelined in favor of liberating the nipple against an American politician. Liberté, égalité… nudité?

Today’s Sing-along: Bye, Bye, Mr.American Whiskey (video)

(to the tune of “American Pie”)

[Verse 1]

A long, long time ago, I can still remember

How that whiskey used to warm my soul.

But tariffs came, the price got high,

And now my glass is running dry—

I knew that we’d be losing it too soon.

[Verse 2]

So bye-bye to Kentucky supply,

Now I’m sipping maple bourbon with a tear in my eye.

Them good old boys used to drink it with pride,

Now it’s taxed up and stacked up so high.

[Verse 3]

Well, I went down to my old saloon,

The bartender sang a lonesome tune,

He said, “Son, Jack and Jim are hard to find.”

So I turned to rye from Montreal,

But it just don’t have that kick at all—

Another drink, another dream left behind.

(Chorus repeats…)
