Hegseth insistence on referring to U.S. service personnel only as "my brothers," guys, men, etc. is so incredibly disrespectful to all the women who have served and died in combat, including Sergeant First Class Nicole Amor, who was killed in Kuwait last week.

Listen, they are just lying. They aren't mistaken, they are just telling you things they know aren't true because it worked for George W Bush and they think it will work for them. And it probably will.

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Given the state of my comments section over international womenβs day, there appears to be a conspiracy theory going around that any rights women have acquired over the last 100 years were a Zionist plot and I REALLY need people to go touch grass.

Centrists: Better Things Arenβt Possible - The American Prospect
Third Wayβs strategy session for Democratic moderates lacked any vision other than a hatred for progressives.
Third Way is an influential group among moderate Democrats β but rather than propose a worked-out centrist platform, or even suggest opposition to the Trump administration, the group at its recent event largely defined itself in opposition to progressives.

This is a logical argument, but I wonder about two things:
1οΈβ£ How enduring is the impact of this? Is this something that can be put back together easily over a few months, or is the *image* shattered for far longer than that?
2οΈβ£ How certain is the impact? Will wealth really flee places like Dubai?
