  • A huge difference being the constant actual legislative attempts and executive orders over the past 40 years to undermine abortion rights, whereas immigration remains a topic that only inspires grandstanding. Hell, even the grandstanding isn’t even about immigration as a whole, it’s only about undocumented immigrants crossing the Mexican border, building a wall on the Mexican border, or sending troops to the Mexican border.

    Ron Desantis, like you pointed out, seems to be the only person out there with an appetite to curb legal immigration and work visas, and he’s become much less popular since he did all that













  • I was all-in on Hill-dawg even though I voted for Bernie in the primary, and I have to say I was profoundly worried leading up to the 2016 election. I didn’t think she did enough to call Trump out on his bullshit, and she also just plainly comes across as an inauthentic elite. I’m actually less worried this election cycle (but still a little worried). I think Harris has the potential to wipe the floor with Trump in a way Clinton couldn’t even conceive of


  • I used to work for a nonprofit psych hospital in a city where there’s also an Acadia hospital. We hired a ton of their staff who started working there well-intentioned but quickly fled after they witnessed how it was run. Patients would tell us horror stories and tell us how grateful they were they didn’t end up there. We’d see patients who discharged from there just a few days prior who were still psychotic as fuck, and we’d treat them ethically and they’d actually get better. They’d leave the Acadia hospital with basically no discharge plan, a lot of times their families weren’t even told where they’d been released to or that they’d been released at all.
