They're coming for our SSRIs. This is not unexpected maybe they've swatted the hornet's nest this time.
I can think of one thing that would get a lot of people off of them

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.

The Pentagon plans to keep National Guard troops deployed through 2029. That’s not a temporary surge. That’s a permanent fixture. Ask yourself why.

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.

A very happy chosen birthday to Frederick Douglass. His life started with cruelty and ended with freedom. He arguably did more for abolition than anyone besides Abraham Lincoln. There are LOTS of vids and blogs about him. Please learn more, and PLEASE learn from BLACK educators!

Feeling seen...and not liking it much because I'm Gen X. I'm better at being quietly reliable than a stand-out.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

A reminder:
I watch a lot of thrillers and I find the mood music overwhelming. For me, music is always whelming, but often overwhelming. Suspense music is hard for me to take, bordering on impossible sometimes. I guess it's a sensory thing and I'd like to be able to turn off the soundtrack.

Today, instead of my normal daily writing, I'm baking cookies to give to my neighbors. I'm fairly new to the neighborhood so I'm giving out my best cookies and introducing myself. I want the people around me to feel safe and supported during this troubled time.
