RFK Jr.’s Mental Health Bait and Switch The newly anointed HHS secretary is weaponizing legitimate anger at the failures of current psychiatric care to gut public services, abandon poor and disabled people, and expand the police state.

Not all critiques of medicalization are progressive or helpful. Some are just fascist—and they feed off the widespread reflex to defend our failed status quo of mental health and healthcare writ large. I explain here in TNR:

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Heard a version of this from a source earlier today: Everyone from USAID working abroad forced to uproot their lives, let alone abandon their work, on three days notice. Uprooting thousands of families on no notice, in an intentionally humiliating and harrowing way.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

As a Very Serious Journalist™️ Part of my personal plan for fighting the ugliness that’s to come is … becoming as hot and lethal as possible.

“Sunlight is pouring over the entire world,” he said, inanely. When he read his speechwriter’s promise that the incoming Administration would “not forget our God,” Trump added, in his faux-solemn mocking way, what seemed to be a glib ad-lib: “Can’t do that.” And it’s true: you can’t forget what you’ve never given a thought.”
