And this is why I'm voting for Katie Porter. Because you know what? Women *are* angry, and we're allowed to expess it.
Much better Porter the clown car of privileged rich men who probably all have call girls on the side and are unfit to lead.

And Swalwell is out of the Governor's race.

Question for folks clued in to CA gov polls:

If, say, 50% of Swalwell's polling numbers swing over to Porter, does this save us from a 2 Republican runoff?

Over 20 Taken In L.A., As ICE Kidnaps Gardeners, Vendors, and the Unhoused From San Bernardino To Santa Barbara

Okay @ CA state government, what the FUCK are you on?

https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB408/2025

This bill rewrite is... several layers of fucked up and unfair to both healthcare workers struggling with substance abuse, and healthcare workers who are mentally ill or disabled.

A choice quote: "This bill would revise and recast those provisions and would instead authorize the board to establish a Physician Health and Wellness Program to support, treat, monitor, and rehabilitate physicians and surgeons and other professionals licensed by the board with impairing physical and mental health conditions that may impact their ability to practice their profession in a reasonably safe, competent, and professional manner."

You can't treat mental and physical health the same as substance abuse. They are different vectors and you approach them differently! (Also, side note, many people who want to talk on substance abuse *really* want to ignore the part where people often start using *because of inadequate healthcare and/or medication and/or pain management access*. We really have to address all sides if you want to address substance abuse.) Why are you writing this into a bill about specifically substance abuse, for one?

For two, mental health can be chronic. I would hope a healthcare worker with chronic mental health conditions would have access to meds/therapy/whatever to help stay stable—but in reality, it's *already* stupendously hard to get licensed if you have a mental health dx, and that's country wide if not world-wide.

Like people in residency asking if it'll fuck them over to seek treatment: https://www.reddit.com/r/Residency/comments/1ime0ph/is_it_true_that_seeking_mental_health_treatment/

Doctors during early pandemic *forgoing mental health care because they might lose their licenses*: https://www.aamc.org/news/doctors-forgo-mental-health-care-during-pandemic-over-concerns-about-licensing-stigma

This AMA article from July 2023 celebrating medical boards (including CALIFORNIA) being less invasive so healthcare workers can get mental health care mayhap: https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/physician-health/23-medical-boards-make-changes-support-physician-well-being

And now for the piece de resistance: a research paper on the high levels of mental health issues healthcare workers experience! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11024831/

(Side note: Kentucky already has something like the above bill is proposing. South Carolina law is fucking prohibitive on this subject: you basically cannot be mentally ill or physically disabled or it's automatically physician misconduct, is how that reads to me. So uh. No.)

Shoutout to @camilla for the citation hunting. 💕💕

America gives all 336 million of its citizens 0.004% of its federal budget for the arts. The NEH and NEA are about $247m and $234m each. The budget of one American film is on par with the budget of a federal grant.

Canada spends a little more than this, yet has thousands of artists and studios who make award winning short films and animations. Tax credits for Canadian studios, free college, plus the positive feedback loop of good art and cheap or free quality colleges for art makes a repeated income via tourism and immigration for the next generation of artists.

Meanwhile America spends more money on bombing, raping, and killing in the name of making them liberated, than even healing its sick citizens or the people who did the killing for them.

God I hate my country. I know Canada isn't perfect, grass is always greener, but it at least puts its money where its mouth is by pretending to care about its citizens.
