I have a college grad son and a daughter currently in college. I told both of them & their friends this: If you’re assaulted on campus, tell the school, but also go to the local police. It’s a criminal matter. The school’s main mission is to protect its own interests. You need to protect yours.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

Let's see the essays. Make them public. Let us read these scrawled golden tickets offered up by Cornell administrators to allow rapists to continue on with their lives unscathed. Was there a required word count? Did any of them use AI to write their "sorry for raping you" pieces? Let us read them.

Not making it up: Just boarded a Southwest flight and as I passed the cockpit, pilot and copilot were telling a flight attendant about being furries. Regrettably for the intellectual powerhouse that is the U.S. senator from Alabama, in the next breath they started laughing and called him an idiot.

Iran military statement shrugs at Trump's "annihilation" threat, dismissing it as "strategic desperation" and an attempt to make an excuse for aggression. And they're right! I really don't like being in a situation where I'm saying Iran's military is right, but who can argue with their assessment?
