To lose visitors in the year you HOST THE WORLD CUP and celebrate a big anniversary is truly incredible.
Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year.
“We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.”

Trump and Hegseth have killed 230+ people on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific with no proof they did anything wrong, no congressional approval, no nothing. Just 2 unhinged fascists ordering our military to commit murder.

Absent a major change in policy, none of us will return to the Bureau. If you leave for more than two years, you’re required to redo the Academy. I’m quite sure that my wife, son, and my then-fifty-year-old body will not agree to that.

Come '29 how many of the good folks that donny got rid of at the FBI, in the DOJ, etc etc do you think will come back to clean up the mess?

As ARWW add in the thread, AF Post has been boosted by Elon, the AZ GOP, and other X obsessives (the same foul waters as those keeping Michael Tracey afloat, though he apparently failed here). And Ali Alexander, of course, was a leading Stop the Steal organizer.
The person claiming to have doxed Jane Doe in the Cornell rape case is Aidan Thompson, a groyper nazi who runs "AF Post" which he took over from Ali Alexander (who also once faced sexual assault allegations of his own). Thompson described himself as a "rape expert" in his videos leading up to this.
A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Same story with a friend of mine, who is now actually quite famous. She dropped out after my university refused to discipline the two men who raped her, and made her sit in the same class with her in her specialized major.
Her planned entire career path ended immediately.

A friend of mine was raped by football players at one of our college’s frat house in 1998. She went through the internal system, which exonerated the men and accused and blamed her. We wanted her to bring charges and a court case… but she was so broken by then. She dropped out.

California requires a license to sell raw milk for human consumption.
Doing so without a license can lead to fines of up to $10k and jail time of up to a year.
But there's a loophole: unlicensed farms can sell raw milk as long as they label it as pet food.
