2017: Trump ended rule to block mentally ill from getting guns.

2024: Trump depends on the psychotic disorders of strangers to carry out his threats..
“If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath ... It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
Trump signed a bill making it easier for people with mental illness to buy guns.
It did not attract a ton of attention at the time (nothing does these days) but about a year ago on February 28, 2017, Congress passed and Donald Trump signed a law revoking an Obama-era regulatory initiative that made it harder for people with mental illness to buy a gun.
Yet despite this effort to roll back even a very modest effort to restrain the ability of seriously incapacitated people from obtaining deadly weapons, this morning Trump tweeted that there were “so many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed,” implying that someone should have done something to report him.
But it’s Trump’s party — and Trump himself — who have consistently prevented the federal government from doing anything about this kind of situation.

A History of Private Schools/Segregation/Evangelical Academies and Race in the American South..

"The goal of these evangelical schools was not a “better form of education” but denial of education." Why Humanity Must Overcome Religion | Carl Sagan. https://youtu.be/-EdmF4OyoKI Segregation Academies Then and School Choice Configurations Today in Deep South States. 70 years ago, school integration was a dream many believed could actually happen. It hasn’t. The Deep South states deliberately circumvented Brown by eliminating funding for integrated schools; impeding the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s (NAACP) legal activities; allowing state actions to nullify federal authority within their borders; enforcing unreasonable pupil assignment laws; and providing financial aid to pri vate segregated schools (Ravitch, 1983; Yale Law Journal, 1973). Simply stated, Deep South states attempted to perpetuate dual school systems. In response to these circumventing strategies by local school boards and state governments, the Supreme Court i...

“Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot.

HAS THERE EVER BEEN A TIME IN AMERICA'S HISTORY WHEN THERE WASN'T A BUNCH OF RICH PRICKS TRYING TO END THE CONSTITUTION AND TAKE OVER? “Gangsters of Capitalism”: Jonathan Katz on the Parallels Between Jan. 6 and 1934 Anti-FDR Coup Plot We speak to award-winning journalist Jonathan Katz about his new book “Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America’s Empire.” The book follows the life of the Marines officer Smedley Butler and the trail of U.S. imperialism from Cuba and the Philippines to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Panama. The book also describes an effort by banking and business leaders to topple Franklin D. Roosevelt’s government in 1934 in order to establish a fascist dictatorship. The plot was exposed by Butler, who famously declared, “War is a racket.” The far-right conspiracy to overthrow liberal democracy has historical parallels to the recent January 6 insurrection, says Katz. https://www.dem...

Leaded Gasoline Linked To The Rise Of MAGA?

A breakthrough new medical study is further illustrating the devastating long-term health effects lead can have on children. In the study, researchers show that high levels of lead absorbed in the blood can lead to reduced gene expression, a phenomenon that can cause long-term risks. There is evidence suggesting a link between lead poisoning and paranoia, particularly in individuals with a history of early childhood exposure. While the link is not a direct cause-and-effect relationship, research indicates that lead exposure can contribute to changes in brain chemistry and development, potentially leading to increased risk of mental health problems, including paranoia. Lead can disrupt brain function, affecting areas involved in cognitive processes, mood regulation, and decision-making. This can lead to difficulties with attention, memory, and executive function, potentially contributing to symptoms of anxiety and paranoia. Personality Changes: Studies have shown that childhood...
