@PrettyLiesAlibi I agree. I get that sexual attraction can cause people to do stupid things but that’s a line I don’t understand why people choose to cross.
🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power.
RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!
Her own father got her drunk… then raped her for four hours straight.
She couldn’t even walk afterward. Her uncle had to carry her into the hospital.
The rape kit proved his DNA.
She was left so broken she took her own life — because she couldn’t live with what her dad did to her.
And he’s only getting THREE YEARS?
This is not justice. This is a slap in the face to every survivor.
May he never know a single second of peace.
Say her name. Share this until they listen. 💔
@IanRunkle I can sympathize. The mail carrier at our office refuses to pick up our mail unless he’s delivering some mail. We even made it easier for him by putting out a sign when we have mail. He then told us he wasn’t coming in to get it and we should take it to the UPS store next door.
BREAKING: RFK Jr. sparks OUTRAGE after targeting these medications that many Americans depend on daily.
The man who claims antidepressants cause school shootings and are "more addictive than heroin" — claims that are directly contradicted by decades of medical evidence — is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, launching a federal initiative to reduce antidepressant prescriptions across America.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled his "deprescribing" initiative Monday at a Make America Healthy Again summit, announcing that HHS will take "clear and decisive action" to confront mental health "overmedication," especially among children. The department sent a letter to healthcare providers encouraging them to reduce psychiatric medication use and promote alternatives like diet, physical activity, and social connection.
Let's be clear about what's actually happening here. Nearly 17 percent of American adults currently take antidepressants. These are people whose doctors — actual licensed physicians — determined that medication was clinically appropriate for their conditions. RFK Jr., a man with no medical degree who once carved a penis out of a dead raccoon and wrote about it in his diary, has decided the federal government should now be nudging those doctors toward prescribing less.
The American Psychiatric Association — representing 40,000 physicians — pushed back immediately and directly. The mental health crisis, they said, is not a problem of overprescribing. It is a problem of access. "Too many patients cannot access timely, comprehensive care, while care remains unevenly distributed across our health system." Workforce shortages. Limited psychiatric beds. Barriers to access. These are the real problems.
"Deprescribing alone is not a sufficient response to this crisis," the APA said. "The solution is not to stigmatize psychiatric medication or impose broad assumptions on clinical care."
There's a savage irony buried in all of this. The Trump administration has been gutting Medicaid — the primary insurance coverage for millions of Americans who access mental health services. It has cut funding for mental health programs. It has reduced the healthcare workforce through federal layoffs. Having created more barriers to mental health care, RFK Jr. is now launching an initiative suggesting the problem is that people are getting too much of it.
Kennedy said he's "not telling anyone to stop" their medication. He's just making sure the federal government is actively pushing the system in that direction.
For millions of Americans managing depression, anxiety, and other conditions, their medication isn't overuse. It's survival.
Please like and share this post if you think the quickest way RFK Jr. could improve our nation’s mental health and alleviate depression would be to resign and take the rest of the Trump administration with him.
