My problem with the White House thunderdome isn’t that it’s “vulgar,” or “tacky,” qualities I often enjoy & terms which are often crudely classist when used pejoratively. My problem, as always, is the fascism. Don’t get distracted by taste, which is deeply subjective; it’s the fascism.

This is such incredible bullshit. I am alive, thriving, and writing books on health policy/politics thanks to antidepressants.
Antidepressants aren't for everyone, but they can be literal lifesavers. Attacking their prescribing & use is stigmatizing and dangerous.

With Trump now explicitly threatening to leave NATO and the Iran war opening Russian oil to the world, Putin never had a better ally than Trump.
The “Trump is a Russian asset” hypothesis is looking more plausible every day. A more interesting question is how would things be different if he was not a Russian asset.
