This is PROOF that Republicans LOVE Freedom and are NOT Snowflakes or Fascists!
I know it's tough, but just try to breathe evenly, look out the window for a while. It'll soon pass. Don't give up the fight!
At the apex of the pyramid comes Big ~~Brother~~ Orange. Big ~~Brother~~ Orange is infallible and all-powerful. Every success, every achievement, every victory, every scientific discovery, all knowledge, all wisdom, all happiness, all virtue, are held to issue directly from his leadership and inspiration.
What's not to love? Of course anyone that doesn't like this guy would have to be mental!

I would greatly appreciate if articles like this would include the state in the title.
It’s Minnesota.
Psychiatry has always been the violent imposition of politics.
This is not good. Eta; has anyone mentioned similar bills in other states?
Since 2016, quite a few. And probably before that too. And probably significantly more since 2025.
As horrible as this one is, the real problem is in numbers: every single bullshit law introduced by MAGAGOP must be called out and ultimately repealed. This democracy isn't dying with a bang, it''s dying by 1000 cuts.
What the fuck, no way
Lots of people are about to be diagnosed some type of delirium.
Delirium is transient, temporary.
This can happen with medication, UTIs in old people, old people in a prolonged hospital stay away from their set home environment, etc. Fix the trigger and you fix the delirium.
For a while, american police were diagnosing people with cases of "excited delirium". They would say the person was unresponsive to commands, and due to their mental state, were a danger to themselves and others.
The officer feared for their life. That's why the officer had to be involved in a shooting, resulting in injuries, and the person would later die in an ambulance or hospital.
Sometimes they used it as an excuse to kneel on people's necks. In some cases, the people they were detaining begged for their lives, only to expire later due to injuries sustained from the arrest.
