I’m gratified that NPR is covering the intersection between politics and mental health. I’ve been observing and recognizing associations between psychopathy/sociopathy, & rightwing politics and policies, since 2004.

If You Can Keep It: Mental health and democracy

We examine that intersection.

@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social posted multiple, important threads on the deeply disturbing epidemic of rape culture, on campus and beyond. Comments are also compelling. Start here, and just keep scrolling her page. How much longer must women in USA remain under threat of sexual assault?

I’ve lived in NC (Wake County) since 1989; I’d never before heard about this horrific attack and the how it birthed the LGBTQIA movement in NC. This beautifully, sensitively written account is well worth reading.

I’ve lived this philosophy my entire 65.7 years, and can’t help but wonder how functional this country could be if most of us adopted these principles.

Watch this fascinating conversation Katie Phang has with a devoted, Trump-supporting immigrant, who has CAPITALIZED, biggly, on her devotion. Katie is flawless: an excellent example of compassionate listening. The vendor: an excellent example of cognitive and moral dissonance. (It’s a cult.)

One day, while navigating the dairy aisle at COSTCO, I took the opportunity to show a MAGA-hat-wearing troglodyte how I truly feel… I frowned at his hat, strategically held my phone, middle finger exposed, in such a manner that I could deny any ill intent …

I’m 65; been frugal my whole life; was built to endure times like these. I fear for those who’ve spent the last 20 years outsourcing the tedious tasks of their lives; who haven’t developed the skills necessary to live on less, make do, & do it themselves. They’ve got a very rude awakening ahead.

Whatever one’s feelings about her past activism, when celebs are willingly arrested for using their fame and fortune to highlight injustice, it helps us all; most of us can’t afford, financially or physically, to take that fall. Hate, if you must, but she’s on the correct side of this fight.

I suspect parkroseperma.bsky.social is correct that this is a psy-op. Reminds me of when a “Christian”woman, 20+ years ago, publicly chastised me for drinking Tazo tea, because … The Devil. I shit you not! It’s not the cheese. It wasn’t the tea. It’s unadulterated hatred and fear of the Other.

Professor Reich lays out a clear plan for the Democratic-lead Congress, when they take over in January. I prefer to hold this vision, and work my arse off to get folks to the polls, than take the defeatist attitude of, “We’re doomed; there’s no hope.” We’re winning this battle. “Bigly.”

Yeah, yeah; this Old Crone can openly weep at anything, these days, but this ripped me open. How grateful I am for folks like Mayor Mamdani: he is a living testament to how extraordinarily well our country and world function when we come in peace to listen to each other, and break bread together.

It’s fascinating that Republicans are obsessed about other people’s sex lives. Always. I know … there are screwed up people “on both sides,” but Conservatism consistently attracts the most dysfunctional, toxic, repressed people. Curious, isn’t it? Or as Tim says, “They’re so weird!”

What will it take to purge pedophiles from all corners of the US government? At this point, it seems like another travesty we’re all supposed to just accept; shrug and say, “That happens.” We must never look away from this systemic abuse of the most vulnerable in our society.

#ECM’s work has saved my sanity. I’m not wired for public life, but Elizabeth has taught me that quiet, deliberate acts of grace, support, and resistance are equally valuable. She’s the only commentator I know of, who emphasizes prioritizing one’s mental/emotional health during this crisis.

One more thing about this after a creator was exited out of the Creator Congress (a group striving to set ethical standards for creators): disclosure policies protect creators as much as our audience. Creators face the fallout in instances like these, not dark $$ groups. We are disposable to them.
