Tulsi Gabbard revoked my security clearance after learning I'm considering a Senate run.
Laura Loomer and right-wing trolls unleashed a wave of attacks. Then came death threats.
The Trump machine wants to shut me up. But I won't:
I'm running to be Kentucky's next senator.

Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler.

On Feb. 12, 1969, Toronto tested out having "bus bunnies" to make public transit more attractive. The idea was proposed by the Canadian Urban Transportation Conference
The idea was only tested that one day.

Let's talk about the "escalation ladder". At any point in a conflict, you have a number of self-defense options ranging from lower risk (legally, ethically, physically) to higher risk.
On the bottom rung of the escalation ladder are options like raising your voice. At the top would be deadly force.

In these scenarios, the predator counts on their willingness to use tactics higher up on the "escalation ladder" than what the victim is willing to use.
By the time the victim makes the required mental shift, it's too late. The predator has already maneuvered them into a disadvantaged position. 6/
