I lived for 50 years before being diagnosed with ADHD. I was repeatedly diagnosed with depression and given antidepressants which did absolutely nothing for me. It never occurred to anyone that maybe living with undiagnosed, untreated ADHD is a pretty damned depressing way to go through life.

It makes my heart hurt. I’m from the Midwest; he’s the real deal and reminds me so much of my dad and many others I grew up looking up to. We’re Midwest Nice for a reason. I hate what this has done to him.

Such a kind, decent man. He looks so very tired. His state has been under siege from the regime for months. He does not deserve this. His "crime"? Treating his constituents like worthwhile human beings and hoping to spread that sentiment nationwide.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.

Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

Sign the petition to stop it. action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661 via @everylibrary.bsky.social
