@taperclinic Thanks for this. Have there been studies regarding the serious health risks? What about those who have intense withdrawal symptoms while tapering?
I just listened to the Pod Save America episode with VP Harris' leadership team, reflecting on what went wrong in the 2024 presidential election. Here are some quick thoughts on what stood out to me. 🧵
As a Brit, I've been watching the American election results with sorrow for my American friends. Some are comparing it to the Brexit vote here, imagining if we'd voted for Brexit twice. But here's the thing... in a sense, we did. And here are some lessons from it. 🧵
I've tried to approach this election unflinchingly & w/ clear eyes, but this is the absolute worst case scenario.
We're in an epochal shift in American history of the worst sort, &, while it does not spell the absolute end of Amer liberal democracy, MAGA is a fatal illness. 1/

So the first 3 volumes of Smith's evidence against Trump are released. About 70% still sealed, but, pretty damning stuff, which is all either their own messages, or testimony from Republican staff under oath:
@BrianRoemmele Thanks for posting! Manipulating Freud’s concepts, disguising propaganda with public relations to stimulate capitalism and consumerism, led to a market crash, the need for a move away from that and toward socialism and unity, led to hitler and a way to channel hate outwards. Wow!
We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements.
Over and over and over.

Texas battles over Paxton-directed searches of Democrats: What you need to know https://t.co/3rEyoMGGvz
#DemVoice1#DemsUnited#ProudBlue
This is very serious. Texas AG Ken Paxton is declaring all out war against Texas Democrats. Paxton had armed Texas Rangers and other state police raid the homes of Democratic officials in Bexar County . Paxton's goons broke down doors and held current and former Democratic officials at gun point as their homes were ransacked at Paxton's order. Former Bexar Democratic Chair Manuel Medina said at least "6 officers armed with automatic weapons" Held him at gunpoint in his home while they seized records and electronics.
Not mentioned in the above story but this morning the news broke here in Houston that Paxton had served warrants and plans to arrest groups that have voter registration drives at DPS drivers license facilities. A perfectly legal activity This is straight out Nazi Germany shit. Apparently Paxton saw an unverified story on Fox News by Maria Bartiromo about registering black and brown Texas residents to vote that caused him to declare war on Texas Democrats. Like me. The Fox story was concerned about high voter registrations that may lead to Ted Cruz's defeat. That sent Paxton into desperation mode and he began his current war on Texas Democrats. All to save Ted Cruz.
We desperately need the DOJ and Merrick Garland to take note. Paxton is using storm trooper tactics against Texas Democrats and to deny Texans their legal right to vote. This is Un- American but normal for AG Ken Paxton.
