The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

Why do people make the "young men shouldn't have their lives ruined by being identified as rapists" argument but never the "young men shouldn't have their lives ruined by being identified as murderers" argument? Misogyny.

I’m confused. Trump lies about Democrats being communists because commies are bad. But he likes North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, a murderous communist dictator, and calls him a “friend.” Make it make sense.

Apparently people are trying to doxx Cornell’s Jane Doe. I have never felt so concerned about a Jane Doe in my entire life. I am shaken. It is so incredibly difficult for women to pursue justice. Sexual assault causes higher PTSD rates than war. This excerpt is by Rebecca Solnit.
former Marine David J. Morris, author of a book on post-traumatic stress disorder, notes that the disorder is far more common and far more rarely addressed among rape survivors than combat veterans. He wrote me, "The science on the subject is pretty clear: according to the New England Journal of Medicine, rape is about four times more likely to result in diagnosable PTSD than combat.
Think about that for a moment-being raped is four times more psychologically disturbing than going off to a war and being shot at and blown up. And because there are currently no enduring cultural narratives that allow women to look upon their survival as somehow heroic or honorable, the potential for enduring damage is even greater."

There’s literally footage of Special Counsel Jack Smith at the Maryland game where Caitlin Clark was playing and not where GOP dirtbag Eric Schmitt said, and KKK Josh Hawley wants people to forget Mr. Smith was appointed 3 months after the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago. Their lie exploded in their faces.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

On hidden camera, pardon brokers Jack Burkman & Jacob Wohl told a 60 Minutes source $300,000 could help a felon get a presidential pardon. Three hundred grand. Wild. When a pardon has a price tag, justice is a luxury item & you can't afford it. #TrumpsCorruptCongress #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

up in the Trinity Mountains along Hwy 3, Scott Mountain Creek heads downstream through the Shasta-Trinity National Forest towards its confluence with Tangle Blue Creek which then merges with the Trinity River.
if there was a single highway in northern California that you could drive for sightseeing, I'd say Hwy 3 should be the one.
