Iryna Zarutsky’s Killer Deserves to Die. But Schizophrenic DeCarlos Brown Jr. Shouldn’t Get the Death Penalty. @slsatel makes a compelling case that Brown was genuinely unable to discern right from wrong when he murdered an innocent person. He suffers from severe schizophrenia.
The Civil War is the American Iliad. Lee is Hector, the most leader and most noble of warriors. At his side is Jackson, his Sarpedon, a loyal and fierce fighter who died too early. Troy might have lost the battle, but they won the war in Rome.

Ella Emhoff, stepdaughter of former Vice President Kamala Harris, from 16 December last year: "...I'm just sitting here crocheting, waiting for a friend, and I was just listening to this podcast that The Wall Street Journal put out about SSRIs and anti-anxiety meds and kind of the over-prescription of them in America. "And it was making me think a lot because I've been on SSRIs for over a decade, almost fifteen years probably, and they were calling out the lack of research on long-term use of these things. "They were calling out the lack of information that doctors give about coming off of these meds and kind of the psychological effects they can have. "And it really got me thinking how little I've thought about that, naively, obviously. "But I've noticed that every time I've gone off of it for a week or missed it or for whatever reason, like, it has been really hard for me, and I've had a really hard time. "And I guess this is just something I was wondering if you guys have thought about or relate to or kind of consider when you're thinking about going on meds like that. "Because I don't know if this is something that I feel like is being talked about enough because I feel like so many of us are on these meds, and this is, like, actually happening. "Like, people get off of them, and they kind of break down, and it can be really bad. So yeah, I guess I just want your general thoughts."
