"Abraham Lincoln delivered this address in the wake of the 1837 killing of abolitionist printer Elijah Lovejoy by a pro-slavery mob.

Then a practicing lawyer, Lincoln had concerns about the rise of Jacksonian politics, with the Founding generation fading away and a new generation rising."
"By ... such acts going unpunished, the lawless in spirit, are encouraged to become lawless in practice; and ... they thus become, absolutely unrestrained.

Having ever regarded Government as their deadliest bane, they make a jubilee of the suspension of its operations..."

Liam has appeared depressed and lethargic and has not eaten well.

“His dad said that that he hasn’t been himself. I am concerned about his mental state,” Castro said, noting Liam was asleep during the visit.

That baby is traumatized. They're creating adverse childhood experiences (ACE) at scale.

Very saddened by the death of Deborah Cameron this week—a brilliant linguist, feminist, and colleague, who shone bright light on language and gender in society.

Here she is talking about why people are interested in linguistic differences between men and women:

Refugees don’t just survive displacement, they build strength, community, and new ways of coping that challenge mainstream mental health paradigms.

The Migrant Art of Coping shares stories of people navigating harsh borders, restrictive laws, and failing support systems.

Wow, didn't know.
Buses were privatised and deregulated in 1986. Since then, communities and passengers have paid the price while shareholders have benefitted.

Fanon, as chief of a mental health hospital treating Algerian people traumatized by the violence of colonialism and the Algerian War, also mentioned the breath.

Box breathing is taught to soldiers. Breath in for count of four, hold for four, exhale for four, hold for four.
"Under these conditions, the individual's breathing is an observed, an occupied breath­ing. It is a combat breathing."
- Frantz Fanon, "A Dying Colonialism"
Nine out of 10 people worldwide are exposed to unsafe air, and air pollution claims the lives of 8 million people annually.

Beyond mortality and its staggering toll on economies, poor air quality also impacts mental health.

"Every breath we inhale should come as a force of life, not a risk to it."
