CA is also losing 2000 or so public health jobs from one single line item (SNAP-Ed) cut by H.R. 1, along with deep tires to community programs and ultimately ripple effects in agriculture, food retail, and other industries. Other states, too, I just can't speak to their numbers.

Wait, you're also in NorCal? (Sutter?) I hadn't realized this. Or maybe I did when I first followed and forgot (brain fog!!!) I'm glad you've got a doctor helping you. This sounds like good progress for once!

Placer County, this is our moment. Prop. 50 is how California fights back. While MAGA Republicans in Texas redraw maps to rig the 2026 election, Prop. 50 gives California the power to respond. It’s temporary. It’s targeted. And it’s how we protect democracy when others try to dismantle it.

Telling disabled people to formally complain every time they're faced with inaccessibility or ableism, is a pretty privileged and ignorant suggestion. We would constantly be complaining, and the processes are so inaccessible themselves, we don't have the energy or capacity.

If you have a hashtag with multiple words, write the hashtag in #PascalCase or #camelCase to help users of screen readers. That helps the screen reader to read out the words out individually, rather than trying to read them in one long word.

FDA held a “hearing” on antidepressants today. Here’s one of their slides. Link to the entire meeting is below. Remember RFKJ’S MAHA report where he said antidepressants are need to go? He wasn’t kidding. Call your electeds and demand RFKJs resignation before he causes even more damage. He must go.

Prof Joanna Moncrieff, University College London

FDA hearing, 21st July 2024

Antidepressants do not correct a chemical imbalance or any other underlying biologic abnormality
Antidepressants do not work-are barely distinguishable from a placebo in clinical trials
They disrupt normal brain chemistry causing a variety of harmful effects
Fertility is impaired through sexual dysfunction (which can be persistent) and sperm impairment
Other effects include: miscarriage, premature delivery, post-natal hemorrhage, feotal malformations, withdrawal symptoms in newborns (30%) and persistent pulmonary hypertension
These effects are independent of the effects of depression (Su et al, 2023)
Effects on post-natal development-increased incidence of autism and ADHDA in children (e.g. Dragioti etal, 2019)
Conclusion: Antidepressants chemically disrupt our emotions, sexuality and reproductive health in ways that are poorly understood. Advice and research on these drugs is skewed by the pharmaceutical industry marketing and the professional interest to defend antidepressants
