The double-speak in the article is confusing. It states that the city says it’s not related to migrants, and then states that it struggles to house 70k migrants each night. It’s not both, and the scene outside of the Roosevelt Hotel has barely improved in months.
I’m not blaming migrants. They have no options. The problem is the inability of our Congress to provide contemporary immigration reform that fits the needs of a very different nation than the one our immigration system was designed around in 1986.
Democratic citizens often fail to turn out to congressional elections. Please, make note of the dates for your state and vote. No one wants or deserves to seek amnesty in a subway or on a sidewalk.
I hope he washes his bong water and dries up that thing before driving with it: lemmy.world/post/16495434
I mean, stealing the presidency, that’s a good 2 or 3 weeks of house arrest with a GPS bracelet, but bong, dude, that’s 30 years in the slammer. So I think a little corruption every now and then, it doesn’t hurt anyone. Specially not medically impared fetuses or their moms!.. because you probably don’t care when you’re a fetus, or have any other brain-like activity when there’s no brain. And Mom won’t care much after sleeping at 1200C a few days later. Sinicism is best served 🔥 🥵 hot. Thanks supremes! Hopefully the supremes make it easier on us and they abolish the electoral college. Instead they should just pick whoever they like as president.
That’s alarming on the face of it, but not so far from clinical practice in the “West”, if we’re talking severe autism where the person is constantly agitated to the point of self-injurious behaviour. I imagine quetiapine is getting handed out pretty frequently, which is better on paper, but basically the same idea.
The operative word is “mandatory”. Medical professionals should have a level of discretion available to them, since not all treatments work for all people, even if it wasn’t such an ineffective treatment being discussed.
The United States would more typically utilize risperdal as a first line pharmacological intervention for individuals with autism who experience violent behavior during irritability. It obviously can vary by practitioner a bit but there would need to be some valid justification as this is the only fda approved medication for treating irritability in autism.
Lots of people speaking out of their lane in these replies though! Nothing like conjecture!
Are you talking about haloperidol? It doesn’t really get used a sedative in emergency psychiatric situations but often gets paired with benzodiazepines. Sometimes one or the other. Sedative would more typically be Ativan. To be clear haldol does have some sedative effects but it is not typically used as a first line sedative in inpatient psychiatric settings; it’s a poor choice for this purpose because it has a fairly slow onset for sedative effects to be seen (~15-20m for many individuals)
Haloperidol is used for acute psychosis and agitation. Ativan is used for sedation. Care has to be taken because benzos/ativan can worsen delirium, eg in an elderly patient, thus the use of haldol if they are agitated. Or you might use diazepam if you are intending a chemical restraint as this lasts longer than ativan. But this metabolizes via liver so you again have to be careful about pt, late stage alcoholic would get ativan bc metabolic pathway is renal. Additionally ativan alone be best fit for someone detoxing from alcohol who is agitated as the underlying cause of their agitation better targeted by benzos than haldol. Knowledge of pt is key. Of course that info is not always available unfortunately
Interesting, in the UK they’d do something similar such as olanzapine with lorazepam. Quetiapine really is the one I’ve got a bee in my bonnet about. I don’t know about the USA but in the UK it gets over-prescribed just for the histaminergic component which I feel should be considered as more of a side effect. Bear in mine my knowledge is around twenty years out of date!
Thankfully in the past 10 years I’ve seen a decline in practitioners prescribing seroquel for sleep disorders but that’s entirely anecdotal and based only on my small geographic area unfortunately, not sure of any literature to support that this is actually declining. And unfortunately in the USA i believe it’s still somewhat regularly used as a chemical restraint in long term nursing care for geriatric populations despite indications for other medications being potentially better choices but I can’t speak much to that as it’s not my practice area or population
for many Native tribes of the Great Plains, including the Lakota people, who believe that it relates to a time around 2,000 years ago when food was scarce and the bison were rarely seen.
The playbook for Project 2025 is about 1000 pages long. A think tank with decades of experience about US politics is behind it. Heritage Foundation heavily influenced a lot of policies of past GOP presidents.
In a german podcast I recently heard about a few of the keypoints of their plans. Let me just say: 2017 wasn’t the most important election in the USA. It’s this year. Especially when regarding what’s happening in Europe and also with the climate. The world can’t afford “Drill baby drill” or guys like DeSantis getting blank checks and other foobar situations like mask bans everywhere or leaving NATO.
If you’re not considering Dark Brandon you’re just not informed enough.
Look I’m not trying to downplay genuinely but every election will be this and has been. From Carter to Regan to Bush and Obama. They’re all really important.
That said, they slammed abortion and it harmed them. They rigged the election for Bush but failed for Trump.
I don’t think they’re on the rise, I think they’re thrashing struggling for air here. Project 2025 is desperation in my eyes.
I’m from Germany and we know to good how fast bat shit crazy and intelligent guys with authoritarianistic aspirations can hypnotize the masses and let them commit crimes against humanity (in fact we’re just witnessing it again with the AfD). Those same guys have the absolute will to win the next US election. Doesn’t matter if they ran into a few roadblocks on their journey. Doesn’t matter if they claim they are not associated with the Nazi mentality or that Hitler was an abomination. They essentially pursue the same goals.
I have no will anymore to discuss this out with internet strangers, so I let others speak:
“Author and legal analyst James Zirin, said in an op-ed in The Hill on Nov 13 Trump wants to “terminate the Constitution to restore himself to power, an insurrectionary act in and of itself. That power would be in the hands of the president with neither checks nor balances.
Trump has vowed on Day 1 to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military to violently crush any protest or dissent. He plans to purge the Justice Department of anyone deemed disloyal and deploy across four federal agencies a 50,000-strong bloc of loyalists to defense, legal, judicial and regulatory slots.”
From the perspective of people who understand that Project 2025 is just fascism hiding behind the MAGA hats:
It’s not meant to move the needle now, but the authors acknowledge that.
Biden will never be able to satisfy Republicans on border policy. The real question is whether he can neutralize this issue among independents without alienating certain Democrats. These initial public opinion results suggest he may have achieved some of that, but it’s not a clear political win by any stretch,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
It’s all about having a response when Trump says “Biden wants open borders” in the debate. Biden can say “We had a deal on that, you killed it because you thought keeping the border open would hurt me”.
Devolving to “No U” as an argument is kind of weak, but can still be effective with certain voters. This election will be decided by about 8% of voters on the margin in a handful of states, Biden is going after them specifically.
Pretty sure I had some of the 3x last week, though I didn’t finish them. They were pretty spicy yes but also they just didn’t taste very nice, it didn’t seem worth it.
