Hundreds of salmon are now spawning in Klamath River tributaries above the 4 recently dismantled dams for the first time 60 & 112 years. It is exciting and bodes well for the future. Still, it will take several years for fish runs to recover & there is still much more work to do.
@ECoastskier78@Riddle_Lincoln You could have just liked the Whiteface post, or skipped it and moved on. Lincoln has never oversold himself and if you follow him, you know he’s relatively new to skiing. Besides, you don’t need to be Johnny Ripper to ski the slides
@Riddle_Lincoln@ECoastskier78 No reason at all for this guy to do that. You ski thru ice, cold, rain, mud. That’s all you ever need to say. Nothing more pure than running it out there just because you love it. I’m buying you a beer at the Bullwheel when I see you up at Jay
Today is my 2-year Leaving MAGA-versary. Leaving set into motion positively life-altering changes in my life that have proven to be completely unexpected and unlikely; truth is, when I left MAGA---and emancipated myself from the manacles of the toxic MAGA community---I never thought anyone would care. That so many do care is a testament not to me, but to the necessity and grace of redemption; and, to the forgiving nature of my fellow countrymen and women.
I founded Leaving MAGA to provide a new community for those who leave; and, for those experiencing some of the confusion, doubts and remorse I felt. It took me an entire year to leave MAGA; it is an arduous process to endure, but it will bring an inner-peace that is more experiential than explicable.
I want to invite you to visit our site, which Leaving MAGA's dedicated team built from scratch. You'll find a free book we wrote; several stories; some media; and, some testimonials from others who left MAGA and adjacent conspiratorial communities. Be sure to complete the Contact form if you'd like to receive updates on events, media appearances, etc.

To our Leaving MAGA community: whatever your role with us, know that nothing we've accomplished, thus far, was possible without you.
To all of you who have sent me supportive messages: thank you; words fail me in expressing my gratitude.
To those who have sent, shall we say, not the nicest of messages: please know that I do not consider you enemies. Deep down, I know that most of you are good and decent people.
And, I want to implore all of you with friends and family in the thrall of MAGA: please do not lose hope, and do not give up on them. If there is anything instructional I can offer, it's that we can change our minds, and acknowledge grave mistakes.
PS: For those who are unaware, I am a co-chair of the Republicans for Harris FL team; yes, MAGA will remain past Nov., and there is much work ahead of us. But it is time to put Donald Trump in America's rearview mirror. I will vote only Democratic in Nov.; the GOP must be mercy-killed, because it is an irreparably damaged party. I owe it to the country to make amends for my past actions and rhetoric.
Here's to many, many more Leaving MAGA-versaries---not just for myself, but the millions of others who, I believe, will eventually leave, and tell their stories; find reconciliation with their friends and family; and, lead the movement to empower others to leave.
Here's our public apology, from 8/30/22. Thank you.

@byjoelanderson I got irrationally mad about this being a sport the other night, saying the sport is BASKETBALL, and meanwhile baseball (a truly international game at this point) is not included. My wife was backing slowly away
@ProFootballTalk Said no, though I loved their time together calling games. Need to make room in our lives for new voices and the next generation of greats. The need for constant comfort and nostalgia is why movies are the way they are today
