Insane.
People are getting brain damage when they try to come off antidepressants (especially with rapid, doctor directed tapers) The truth is: we still don’t fully understand the long-term effects these drugs have on the brain
What we do see, in real life, is life-altering withdrawal and irreversible neurological damage affecting hundreds of thousands of people.
Some people take one pill and lose their sexuality, their cognition,their ability to feel love or connection.
And for some, it never comes back.

@FearedBuck But reactive abuse is real. Sometimes what looks like rage is a trauma response after prolonged manipulation and provocation. It doesn't excuse it, but it explains it. The reaction gets shown. The buildup gets erased.

So there’s been a mass shooting and a bomb threat on a plane since the war in Iran began a week ago. Somehow there’s basically no national conversation about this.
Surprise, surprise.
It turns out antidepressants may have been propped up by deeply flawed science.
“Most clinical drug trials have found the effectiveness of antidepressants is ON PAR with placebo,” wrote Dr. Joseph Mercola.
On the other hand:
“Large-scale meta-analyses show that physical exercise is the most effective remedy — about 1.5 times more effective than antidepressants — for depression.”
You probably never heard that on TV because in 1996, Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act, which allowed Big Pharma to buy off the news.
Here’s what else they’re not telling you about antidepressants. If you or someone you love is taking them, you might want to read to this. 🧵
we don’t have a pandemic of mental illness. We have a pandemic of psychiatric Ds: We are overdiagnosing healthy people hugely and trap them in a system where there is a door in but where the door out is difficult to find and may even be locked. https://t.co/md7jHxfIHo
Operation Epic Fury.
President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region.
God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.
Regardless of who sits in the Oval Office, I’ll stand with the parents of a murdered child.
I’ll stand on the idea that protecting American citizens comes first.
I’ll stand for our athletes who wore our flag and brought home gold.
I’ll stand against medicalizing kids without parental consent.
These aren’t “policy positions.”
They’re baseline human values.
If your entire political identity is just resist at all costs, even when what you’re resisting is the lowest-hanging fruit for common ground - it betrays your true incentives: power over people. The American people deserve better.
HOLY SH*T 🚨 President Trump just ended Zohran Mamdani’s whole Communist career in 45 seconds
"For a thousand years, Communism hasnt worked. I tend to doubt it's going to work this time”
HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
@tywoosley23 High dose of creatine (25–30g) can actually reverse sleep-deprivation brain fog and improve not only cognitive but also neurological functioning. Try magnesium glycinate, tarte cherry concentrate, and valerian with 1 hr red light detox blue light before bed
Charlie Kirk on knowing if you have found the right church.
“You only need Jesus, or you believe you need Jesus, if you know you're off the mark.”
“You cannot talk about a Savior if you never talk about sin. And the modern church is afraid to talk about sin. Why?”
“Because I might judge somebody. I might offend somebody. To the modern church, happiness is the goal, judgment is the ultimate sin and God is just a guess.”
“In a true biblical church, God is the ultimate truth, holiness is the goal, and the greatest sin is blaspheming in the name of God and defiling the name of Jesus Christ.”
“That's how you know you're sitting in a Bible-based church.”
