As a #MentalHealth provider, something I have noticed that I don't think has really sunk in for some people is that the way in which this current government is acting is essentially abusive partner/family member behavior. For example:

In prison, Israeli guards told him again and again that Israeli soldiers had killed his entire family – a form of psychological torture, he said, meant to break him. But when he walked up the stairs of his Gaza home today, his wife rushed into his arms, his children and parents beside her – alive, waiting, and all of them delirious with relief and joy.

I'm old enough to remember Reagan's "welfare queen" rhetoric to avoid actually helping people and this is just the newest iteration of that. It was bullshit then, it's bullshit now.

Mike Johnson says Medicaid is "intended for vulnerable populations, the elderly, disabled, and young pregnant women, and not young able-bodied men without dependents who are playing video games."

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

"Extreme pressure" to do what? Coming from where? Also, every time I hear the word "antifa" I role my eyes. It's so desperate and contrived it's pathetic.

This was my first thought. Doctors don't treat/discuss organs/systems like that (not competent, ethical ones anyway). What would that even mean? They aren't archeologists trying to radiocarbon date something.

"Cardiovascular age validated by by ECG and found to be 14 years younger than chronological age" is a nonsensical phrase.
