SCOTUS is the Republican Party +
The presidency, House, Senate is in GOP hands

Who/what inspires J.D. Vance's anti-democracy rhetoric?
#DemVoice1 #USDemocracy
Curtis Yarvin: founded the "anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment or neo-reactionary movement"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Ya… #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy

JDV urged Donald Trump... to “seize the institutions of

the left,” fire “every single midlevel bureaucrat” in the

US government, “replace them with our people,” and

defy the Supreme Court if it tries to stop him.

My dear #Democrats & media pundits

Look at the time and money spent on prepping candidates for a pretend "debate"

Narcissists/sociopaths do not debate policy!

They cheat & lie. MH professionals are the experts:

Why don't news producers have mental health experts on their shows every day?

We see media personalities speculate endlessly on issues that they know nothing about.

These are my opinions & views.

On my mind today... CSA -- Child sexual abuse.

And, rape/sexual assault.

#DemVoice1 #USDemocracy
🧵 There is massive confusion about sexual

abuse & assault, victims, perpetrators, "forgiveness,"

& religion.

Medical issues are complex

Doctors go to college & medical school; complete a 4 year internship/residency program; & often do a fellowship after that

Most men & women know NOTHING about gynecology & obstetrics

Most men know little about women's experiences Image #DemVoice1

There is much confusion and there are many outright lies from Republicans about obstetrics, pregnancy, abortion.

Politicians and voters do not know or believe:

❗️Some time limits (14 weeks? 16 weeks?) may sound
reasonable, but
❗️There is no "one size fits all"

Why do many #Republicans support #RUSSIA and NOT #Ukraine?

The "Mueller Report" found that

Russia "interfered in the 2016 presidential election in

sweeping and systematic fashion" and "violated U.S.

criminal law"



#DemVoice1cnn.com/2019/04/18/pol… Under oath, Mueller said:

"The Russians had led a campaign to swing the 2016 election in Trump’s favor and committed crimes to achieve that goal

The Trump campaign was receptive to help from the Russians..."

Stop blaming mental illness. Here's why.
First there are differing definitions/views.
Let's stick with clinical & popular views.
Definitions of mental illness
Ø Some are legal
Ø Some are clinical
Ø Some are popular When most people think of mental illness they think
of people who are out of touch w/reality & behaving bizarrly

That may include hallucinations, extreme paranoia,
lack of control of feelings & behavior, or dangerous
delusions all due to mental illness.
