In November an 18 month investigation into ADHD concluded.

It found ADHD is massively underdiagnosed with less than 1 in 20 people over 40 receiving treatment.

It said GPs need to be diagnosing it.

Instead a review has been launched looking into it being 'overdiagnosed'

She's been talking to the US press from back in Honduras (where she was sent in direct violation of a court order) and has started getting media attention, tho not enough. This is a case we should be talking about every day, so I'll be posting daily updates with best available info.

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza.
Learn her name.
This young woman who escaped a Honduran city overrun by gang violence at age 7, a productive member of our society with a bright future ahead, is who Trump is wasting our tax $ to deport.
Cruel. And also stupid.

When Trump goes on racist fascistic tirades against Somalian-Americans and Hegseth celebrates the regime's extrajudicial killing spree in Caribbean waters, we have a choice to make:
A) Let it go
B) RESIST
If you choose B,

Here's a memorable illustration of the bind Trump lackeys find themselves in, trying to justify their legitimization of the Bozo Fascist's lawless regime. Sen. Tom Cotton has no answer for a straightforward question about the absence of Congressional authority for the lethal boat strikes.
wow -- John Berman demolished Tom Cotton in this interview

We need another referendum when Scotland wants it.
Not when Westminster says so.

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.

He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.

His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?

Odd that.

Funny how 7-10 million of us managed to gather all over the country without a single violent incident that was not instigated by MAGA. But the minute a few hundred of us gather to protest ICE we turn into violent rioters who need to be pepper sprayed?

Smells like, complete and utter bullshit.

When there's more of us than there are of them...
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.
