Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants? A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."

Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US.
Antidepressants save women's livesโ€”& they're safe.
So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms?

They failed, but arrested him anyway, for the crime of talking back to them.

In Patriarchy No One Can Hear You Scream: Rebecca Solnit on Jeffrey Epstein and the Silencing Machine One of my favorite books when I was young was T. H.

Me, 2019: "Epstein gambled on the differential between his power and voice in the world and theirs and for the most part he won, because the game was rigged by dozens of people around him... Monsters rule over us, on behalf of monsters." lithub.com/in-patriarch...

The ADA was signed into law 35 years ago today, and remains the most comprehensive civil rights law protecting people with disabilities.

This anniversary comes at a time when the health and dignity of disabled people are under attack by the Trump administration.

Today in history, 1990: President George H.W. Bush signs the Americans with Disabilities Act, providing broad civil rights protections for disabled people. It was a victory for the disability rights movement, which began in the 1960s with demands for equal treatment and access. /1

Also, to clarify: I donโ€™t think you necessarily need degrees to do the scientific method or the historical method properlyโ€” self-taught โ€œamateursโ€ can do amazing scholarship. But a great way to learn cutting-edge methodology is working with experts, something college lets you do.

Young people need to understand what RFK Jr. just did

Before Obamacare, insurance companies could deny you coverage for CHEMOTHERAPY because you had acne as a teenager. They considered PREGNANCY a pre-existing condition. Childhood asthma too. And could deny you.

This is bad.

Making homelessness illegal so the government can institutionalize them and then the technazis can enslave them is where the EO that was signed today is leading us. Because of the financial crisis the Rapist-in-Chief is intentionally orchestrating, all of us are in danger.
