RFK Jr. isn’t offering a solution. He’s offering an escape hatch from responsibility.

If America truly wants to stop mass shootings, it should start by listening to medical experts not political opportunists searching for their next headline.

Mass shootings are not caused by Prozac or Zoloft.
Experts aren’t buying it because the evidence simply isn’t there.
This kind of rhetoric only stigmatizes people who need help and distracts from the weapons that make U.S. violence uniquely devastating.
November 17, 2025 at 12:51 PM
And that’s exactly what RFK Jr. needs: a narrative that sounds bold, “anti-establishment,” and edgy, without threatening the sacred gun lobby that stands behind so many candidates.
November 17, 2025 at 12:50 PM
not the easy access to high-capacity firearms that lets a bad moment become a massacre. It shifts attention away from gun-industry money, NRA influence, and political cowardice. It reframes the crisis as a medical mystery rather than a policy failure.
November 17, 2025 at 12:50 PM
People who rely on these medications are trying to avoid harm both to themselves and others.Suggesting they’re potential mass shooters isn’t just wrong;it’s cruel
But blaming mental health medication carries another purpose:it reinforces the idea that our national tragedy is about “broken people,”
November 17, 2025 at 12:50 PM
The problem for RFK Jr.? Reality.
The overwhelming medical consensus says SSRIs do not cause mass shootings. If anything, untreated depression, anxiety, trauma, and isolation are far more dangerous.
November 17, 2025 at 12:48 PM
It’s a familiar move: take a complicated, heartbreaking national crisis and flatten it into a conspiracy-flavored sound bite. It’s politically useful. It sounds dramatic. And it lets the actual culprits the guns, the laws, the culture of violence off the hook.
November 17, 2025 at 12:48 PM
No, this time he wants to pin mass shootings on antidepressants, specifically SSRIs, as though millions of Americans quietly taking their doctor-prescribed medication are the real public threat.

Streicher case is a sobering reminder:
If you inflame hatred long enough, you don’t have to swing the fist to be responsible for the bruise.

Journalism can protect a democracy.
Or it can poison it.

And history has already shown us what happens when the poisoners are left unchecked.
November 17, 2025 at 12:24 PM
That is the moral responsibility Fox News has chosen to ignore. In an age where violent rhetoric is rising, where political intimidation is now part of daily life, and where lies spread faster than truth, the

It’s drawn much earlier, when they use their platform to push others toward using one by twisting facts, shattering trust, and turning human beings into caricatures deserving of harm.
November 17, 2025 at 12:23 PM
This isn’t journalism. It’s emotional arson.

And here’s the lesson Streicher left behind: the line between commentary and complicity isn’t drawn at the moment a journalist picks up a gun.
November 17, 2025 at 12:22 PM
that immigrants are an invading “horde,” that violence committed by “their side” is understandable, while violence by “the other side” is proof of national collapse. Conspiracy theories go unchallenged. Demagogues are elevated. Fear is monetized.
November 17, 2025 at 12:22 PM
excuse political violence, and cast fellow Americans as existential enemies is uncomfortably familiar. Night after night, millions are told that political opponents are “destroying the country,”
November 17, 2025 at 12:22 PM
They only need to create the world where violence feels acceptable, maybe even inevitable. And that brings us to Fox News.

No, Fox hosts aren’t literal Nazis. But the pattern using a media platform to inflame resentments,
November 17, 2025 at 12:21 PM
The tribunal found that words when weaponized can be accessories to atrocity.

That matters today more than we want to admit.

Because if Streicher proved anything, it’s that a journalist doesn’t need to commit physical violence to play a decisive role in creating it.
November 17, 2025 at 12:18 PM
Fox’s line is a quiet manifesto: that in a world obsessed with certainty, control, and credit, grateful living is an act of rebellion.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s the address our gratitude was meant for all along.
November 17, 2025 at 12:11 PM
I won’t let the unfairness of life make me small, and the wisdom to know that every act of gratitude a kindness, a pause, a moment of choosing grace ripples outward whether we see its destination or not.
November 17, 2025 at 12:10 PM
To “put it out there in everything we do” is to treat gratitude like light: diffuse, steady, illuminating everything it touches, including the parts of life we wish looked different. It’s the strength to say,
November 17, 2025 at 12:10 PM
Gratitude becomes less about who we thank and more about how we show up with softness instead of bitterness, generosity instead of resentment, awareness instead of autopilot.
November 17, 2025 at 12:10 PM
Fox reminds us that we don’t need certainty to live gratefully. We don’t need to understand why hard things happen, or who exactly deserves the credit for the good we receive.
November 17, 2025 at 12:09 PM
What he’s really saying is that gratitude isn’t a thank-you card you mail to a clearly labeled mailbox.It isn’t a transaction,or a response to something shiny/perfect. Gratitude is a posture a way of moving through a world that is unpredictable,unfair, beautiful,fleeting,and astonishing all at once
