“because suicide prevention in the US has historically been seen as a medical issue—the responsibility of clinicians who can provide medication or therapy—economic solutions are frequently left out of the equation.” 🛟🧪
“To be sure, suicides also occur among wealthy people. It's a complex issue and almost never boils down to one reason.
For most people, the decision to hurt themselves results from an intricate interplay of biological factors, relationship concerns, finances, trauma or abuse, and access to lethal means. That means suicide prevention requires a variety of approaches.

The argument for including economic policy as one of those approaches, many advocates and researchers say, is that policies affect entire populations. So even a small effect can save a significant number of lives.”

NEW: Katie Phang is suing DOJ over alleged “brazen” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She says DOJ missed deadlines, over-redacted, and withheld records tied to Jeffrey Epstein—including references to Trump. The suit seeks full disclosure and a special master to oversee compliance.

CNN: Jamie Raskin makes a critical point about the WHCD shooting: “This is happening in schools across the country. The kids have no resources to process their trauma.” Saying more guns is the answer to shootings is like saying more alcohol is the answer to drunk driving. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.
