I will no longer be posting or communicating via X – the site has become too toxic. You can visit https://t.co/Bp0lgtAJ4E or follow me on other platforms. And please read the statement I drafted for MindSite News.

As a former @CarterCenter Center fellow, I can say that the fellowship was a fantastic and stimulating experience. Congrats to all the new fellows, and I’m thrilled that our own JoshMcGhee (@TheVoiceofJosh) and @mindsitenews contributor Simran Sethi will be among them.

[MindSite News @mindsitenews]

Congratulations to all of the new @CarterCenter Mental Health Journalism fellows. We’re excited and proud to share that our investigative reporter @TheVoiceofJosh is included.

The only president I've had the privilege to meet and spend time with. He has been devoted to the service of humanity and embodied a vision of morality and social justice. A true mensch who has led by example and truth. I hope that his final days are full of peace and love.

President Jimmy Carter would like America to become a superpower, but not in the way you think.

@9BillionTigers Amazing: Gene Ampon's story, which @leeromney and @jkjadvisors told for @mindsitenews and @KQED, was first told in Madness Network News (a zine with best slogan ever: "All the fits that's news to print.") Two friends, Leonard Frank and Wade Hudson helped run it back in the day.
