I've taken anti-depressants on & off for decades. They saved me during debilitating depression in college, and later after my father died suddenly and unexpectedly. They helped me be a good parent despite PPD and the long-term anxiety it produced.
Antidepressants help people. This is evil.

Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants.
As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands.

Our president wants a future in which Guantanamo continues to be a scourge and a blot and a place and symbol of unjust detention. There's a better choice: Shut it down, once and for all.
I'm trying to stay calm. This, plus the Laken Riley legislation, will criminalize migrants for the most minor infractions and put them in a legal grey area. Twenty years of invisible human rights abuses, committed with impunity. No one will see what is happening to them there.
Trump: Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the departments of defense and homeland security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay
