Maybe time for those who don't experience this directly to return to this thread (which I posted when PTSD was being weaponized to relieve Graham Platner of responsibility for his actions).
Since PTSD is being invoked to excuse any and all abuse and misconduct, let us acknowledge where it is most common.

Imagine Harvard Square without cars
Imagine Harvard Square on a busy afternoon. Instead of gridlock on Mass. Ave., you see pedestrians filling the street. Instead of car engines rumbling and honking, live music from a local band carries across the square. Instead of summer heat reflected from asphalt, you sit back under lush trees, sipping coffee as a band plays. These are only some of the joys car-free spaces can bring.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Could not agree more. On top of this it is STUPID. look at the polls. wait for the results tonight. A can understand the perpetually weak/inept Dick Durbin but the rest of them??!!
Buckling now would make this entire painful endeavor worthless -- pain for pain's sake, without value, without resolution. So if one of these senators is yours, yell at them not to buckle.
Asked how optimistic he was of reaching a deal this week, Ossoff, who voted earlier this month to pay essential federal workers during the shutdown, said, “We need a resolution that does right by our constituents.”

VARNEY: Trump announced all trade talks with Canada have been cut off because of a fake ad showing Reagan badmouthing tariffs.
HASSETT: The president I'm sure has his reasons. Sometimes when you're frustrated a timeout is the right call. It's probably a good time to take a break.

With Trump and his cronies using the shutdown as cover to shut off the food stamp program, food banks will soon be flooded with demand from the 42 million Americans--including 16 million kids--who rely on the program. Which means the rest of us will need to step up and give whatever we can.

Again, very strange to have US leaders bragging about war crimes on TV — especially since Vance’s unfunny joke is basically “we base our air strikes on such sketchy intel that we can’t figure out who is a fisherman and who is a drug smuggler,” which does appear to be true, BTW.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is terrible for our country. Violence is not the answer.
To learn from this, let's not fictionalize who Kirk was.
A day before his death, he said: "Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America."
That's not respectful speech. That's violent rhetoric.
