#wdncw that this is going to be a political rant. I‘m so fed up with people like RFK & podcasters spreading misinformation & conspiracy theories about science. The shooting at the CDC the other day (150 bullets into 4 buildings, windows with bulletproof glass shattered) is horrifying. My husband works for NCI & I broke down crying to mom today because it hit me. I‘m terrified. His lab is on a secure military base but honestly will that even stop

dabbe

ncsufoxes some of these people. When are we going to hold people accountable. Does Kennedy look at those bullet holes & feel any remorse? Does he even care that he is putting people that have dedicated their lives to public service in danger? It‘s been an exhausting few months but this just adds a new level of worry. #ranttime 2w

Amiable It‘s insane that this man—who is not right in the head— is being allowed to destroy the scientific research and breakthroughs that could save so many lives. It‘s criminal. Or at least it should be. 🤬 2w

IriDas Creating fear is the point. Not that you shouldn‘t be afraid of these folks, but that is why they rile their nut job base up—so people will beg for protection. And they can excuse more state violence. It‘s why they‘ve never done one damn thing about all our precious children who have been killed in their classrooms. Control. I hope your husband will feel safe. I can only imagine how it must be for you. :( 1w

Stupidity | Avital Ronell

Dear Canadians,
I'm sorry our U.S. representatives are complete a$$hats. We don't all agree with them. I can't even imagine how bad the smoke is for y'all. But your response to this nonsense is freaking epic.
Love, lil1inblue

The willful filing off of gear teeth, the willful doing without certain obvious pieces of information... That is the closest I can come to explaining the legions, the nations of lunatics I‘ve seen in my time.“

Mental Health Awareness: What You Need to Know about Mental Illness | Patricia a Carlisle

#ranttime I‘m so f‘n livid. Being homeless is not a crime. Drug addiction is not a crime. Mental health is not a crime. The current administration has just lumped 3 different issues into one. Criminalizing people with mental health disorders just puts them more at risk for being put in jail. As a mom of 3 neurodivergent kids this is horrific. This is going to make people more fearful to call for assistance if a person is having a mental health

ncsufoxes emergency for fear that their loved one will be met with police violence or taken to jail. This puts young teens and adults with Autism & co-occurring conditions (there is a high rate of co-occurrence with things like anxiety, depression) at greater risk. Having access to trained mental health professionals & medication management is what people need. Not to be institutionalized or jailed. People need more resources & access, not this. 1mo

dabbe The ONLY reason I hit the heart button was to support YOU and all who will be affected by this. I just can't believe the f'n insanity and evil of this administration. Everything you said ... 🎯🩵🎯🩵🎯🩵 1mo

CBee I‘m just…… I don‘t even know what to say. @ncsufoxes so many people, including my youngest son and your kids, could be affected by this. Heck, I have a depression and anxiety diagnosis - will they lock me up too? 😡 1mo

ncsufoxes Not to mention how Kennedy wants to limits kids access to medications & his dismissal of mental health medications. My kid is finally stable (after years of trying different combos, one combo that left him neutropenic during the pandemic). These people don‘t understand the exhaustion of monitoring, worrying, planning that is involved with kids with mental health conditions. There is also a shortage of psychiatrists & psychologists in the US as it 1mo

ncsufoxes is. The new caps on medical school student loans will further reduce the amount of qualified professionals in the future. I can‘t even begin to describe the bad doctors & unhelpful info we‘ve gotten over the years. As a country we were moving away from institutions because they were not found to be the best way to treat people. There has been so much research into evidence based & community based treatments over the last few years. They are also 1mo

Susanita Taking us back to the 1800s when America was great 🤬 1mo

ncsufoxes further stereotyping people with mental health conditions. Painting them as erratic & dangerous. Is this administration also going to account for all of the dismantling of programs that significantly impacts all of these groups. 1mo

Deblovestoread Right on point! 🤬🤬🤬 1mo

Librarybelle Ugh 🤬 1mo

ncsufoxes @KadaGul the point too is that they want to criminalize people & have them sit in prison. Prisons are now privatized, many of our lawmakers get funded by groups that benefit from private prisons (our attorney generals family is owner of a company that builds ICE prisons). Private prisons can charge the govt tons of money. There are too many people with mental health conditions in the general prison population & get denied meds. Not to mention 1mo

ncsufoxes there are almost 800,000 homeless people in this country (that‘s the best estimate by advocacy groups). The numbers only going to grow with loss of jobs, rising costs, cuts to Veterans services, cuts to Section 8 housing. Our country has over 4 million people in the prison system (on bail, in jail, on parole). It‘s higher than any other nation. Now they‘re giving the green light to increase those numbers. For this false narrative of 1mo

ncsufoxes characterizing people in these groups as dangerous. It‘s again another horrific policy that will make things worse. 1mo

KadaGul Our criminal system was never meant to punish a criminal. It is designed to put shackles on a group of people they don't like. If it were meant for criminals, our crime rate wouldn't be where it is today. 1mo

Eggbeater Hearing this was traumatic. 1mo

Billypar Yeah, you're 100% right. It's a nonstop trainwreck. I'm very disappointed that New York has put similar legislation into effect (though our governor also invested a lot in mental health, so not the same by any stretch). I think a lot about how those who follow him who are supposedly Christians and/or 'fiscal hawks'... such hypocrisy on a massive scale. 1mo

We haven't had a family reunion since 2010. Because politics. My family are the #leftwingoutcasts. In 2008, I had to finally email my cousin to tell him if he ever sent me one more Obama-is-an-ape comic, I would completely disown him. I haven't heard from him since. #goodriddance #ranttime #justbecauseican #promisesmadepromisesskept

Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and the White Nationalist Agenda | Jean Guerrero

I drove home from the store listening to an interview with this book‘s author on the Daily Beans podcast, then I opened Facebook & saw this fodder for #ranttime

It covers all the bases:
-Inaccurate
-Racist
-Hypocritical

In other words, all in a day‘s work for this regime. He is particularly evil though.
