Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Unacceptable! “Russell Brand was backstage hugging the secretary of agriculture" said Oz. As Brand made his way on stage, he joked about his embrace of Agriculture Sec'y Brooke Rollins. “Yes — she initiated that contact, I should make clear, doctor,” Brand said, sending Oz into a laughing fit."

Before Trump, the Western consensus had long been that free trade made
individual countries richer overall, and the world richer too. Trump does not
believe that. More importantly, his trade negotiations aren't only, or even
mostly, about trade. They are about domestic politics and geopolitics, and,
above all, they are about staging a drama in which he, and America, wins.

Robert Reich on why Trump cannot EVER lose.
It's why he responds the way he does to all those who have publicly challenged him -
from the writer E. Jean Carroll to Harvard University to Canada's Mark Carney to the
members of the Supreme Court to the few congressional Republicans who have
crossed him. He would prefer to have them purged and expunged, their careers ruined,
their reputations in tatters, their nations become America's enemies, rather than suffer
the public humiliation of being defeated by them.

The basketball game *mix-up* is the sideshow. The critical part of this Republican hit job is that a sitting US Senator was accusing Jack Smith of colluding in a secret corruption scheme with another prosecutor against Donald Trump. It is a vile as it gets.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

This is just awful. This poor man. The sheer arrogance of the government ignoring video evidence that proves he's innocent is just offensive. "The claim alleges that prosecutors pursued the charges against Williams despite possessing video evidence that contradicted the federal agents’ accounts."
