@SaltyGoat17 It’s the ridiculous action of the Biden administration blocking the JetBlue Spirit merger which eventually led to its closure, and Elizabeth Warren championed it at the time.

Way to go Democrats!! You cost 17,000 American jobs by not allowing the JetBlue-Spirit merger...

@SaltyGoat17 Are Democrats solely to blame though? Layoffs are more common following mergers as the company restructures. Layoffs are still inevitable given the fuel crisis causing fewer people to fly. That's how capitalism works. It's a structural issue not a partisan one.

@Sachinettiyil It is not standard practice to offer MAID to patients without solicitation in Canada. If you really believed in God, would you not feel ashamed for lying when he knows what is in your head?

A 79-year-old Catholic priest, Fr. Larry Holland, who is recovering from a hip fracture at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada, said he was offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) twice by hospital staff, even though he made clear he is a Catholic priest and morally opposed to euthanasia.

@sanilrege 10 is the most important point IMO. I hate the word "adaptogen" as it's been misused by a lot of pseudoscience peddlers but SSRIs can be thought of as an adaptogen by enhancing emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility.

Great thread ! Here are some points from the article I wrote in 2021 updated over time How SSRIs act ✅ 1. Serotonin synapses are present brain wide and consist of 14 different receptor types 2. SSRIs do not simply “correct low serotonin.”
 3. The older serotonergic hypothesis of depression has been superseded by a more complex model involving serotonin signalling, receptor adaptation, neuroplasticity, emotional processing, inflammation, and network-level effects. 4. The primary pharmacological action is SERT inhibition.
 As Tyler states clearly 👉This is the initiating mechanism, but not the full explanation for clinical response. 5. Early receptor effects explain both early side effects and delayed benefit.
 6. Increased serotonin initially stimulates postsynaptic 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C and 5-HT3 receptors, contributing to early adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disturbance, anxiety, agitation, sleep disturbance or sexual dysfunction. Some receptor effects attenuate over 1–2 weeks as receptors adapt, although not all side effects resolve. 7. Delayed antidepressant onset relates partly to autoreceptor adaptation. 
5-HT1A autoreceptors initially inhibit serotonergic neuronal firing. With repeated SSRI exposure, these autoreceptors desensitise/downregulate over several weeks, allowing enhanced serotonergic transmission through projection pathways. This helps explain the clinical lag in antidepressant effect. 8. SSRIs influence emotional processing early.
 Before mood visibly improves, SSRIs may shift appraisal of emotionally valenced information for example, reducing negative bias and altering amygdala-related processing. This may be one reason behavioural and cognitive changes emerge before full symptomatic remission. It also explains the prominent anti-anxiety effect 9. SSRIs also modulate noradrenaline and dopamine indirectly. 
Serotonergic projections can inhibit noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus via 5-HT2A effects on GABA interneurons, and can also inhibit dopaminergic neurons in the VTA. This may contribute to anxiolysis in some patients, but also to emotional blunting, apathy, reduced reward sensitivity or poor response in others. 10. Clinical response involves neuroplasticity, not just monoamine levels. 
SSRIs may enhance BDNF signalling and act at the TrkB receptor, facilitating synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis and adaptive circuit remodelling in regions implicated in depression. 11. 5-HT1A signalling appears important for hippocampal neurogenesis. 
Chronic SSRI treatment increases serotonin, activates 5-HT receptors in the dentate gyrus, and may promote downstream growth factors such as BDNF and VEGF, supporting neural precursor cell proliferation and integration. 12. Astrocytes may be part of the SSRI mechanism. 
Depression is increasingly linked with glial dysfunction, excitatory–inhibitory imbalance and altered neurotrophic support. SSRIs may affect astrocytic Kir4.1 channels, influencing neuronal excitability, glutamate regulation and BDNF secretion. 13. SSRIs may have anti-inflammatory effects. 
SSRIs may reduce neuroinflammatory signalling through effects on cytokines, NF-κB, inflammasomes, TLR4 and PPARγ pathways. 14. Serotonin is best understood as a brain-wide modulatory system.
 Serotonin neurons arise from relatively small nuclei but project widely, influencing inhibition, aversive processing, impulsivity, aggression, panic, reward bias and behavioural flexibility. There are multiple serotonin receptor subtypes, each with distinct distributions and functional effects. Key message : 
 -SSRIs act as modulators of emotional salience, threat appraisal, plasticity and network adaptation. -Their benefit is not simply “more serotonin,” but the downstream consequence of receptor adaptation, altered affective processing, improved plasticity, and broader changes across serotonergic, noradrenergic, dopaminergic, glial and inflammatory systems.

Quick thread: "How do SSRI's work" 🧵 I've had a few patients ask me how SSRI's work. To be clear, my first answer is "well we know they are supposed to block serotonin reuptake, but it's not that simple and we don't really know." But, if you want the best 2026 science... /1

Autism becomes so much tolerable when they're really smart. Have you ever talked with an autistic person who's not that bright? They just repeat the same facts over and over again. It's very tiresome. At least you always get new facts, and new insights, even if it's one-sided.

The Hepatitis B vaccine is mandated for children to attend public schools in 46 states. Hepatitis B is transmitted via needles or sexual contact, yet this vaccine is pushed on babies on their first day of life.

Horse shoe theory strikes again! Odd how closely communist ideology overlaps with authoritarian neoliberalism. MAHA is welcoming ‘criticals’ with open arms, I imagine.

@CNNSOTU Jake Tapper is a retard. its clear that Trump was referring to the Iranian regime. that civilization of oppression being what would be destroyed. CNN is obsessed with attacking Trump so of course they don't give him any grace while at the same time airing Iranian propaganda.
