Yesterday, Colorado Public Radio preovided an update on the death of Christian Glass, which was in a short take on September 15th’s Open Thread.<\/a> Who knew that (sadly) commonplace police outrage in rural Colorado would turn out to be an international incident? You see, we give birthright citizenship to anyone born on American soil. The UK and New Zealand probably do too, but they also give it to children of there citizens born anywhere in the world. Christian Glass had one parent from each of those countrues … so he had triple citizenship. So now both countries have some questions for the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office<\/a>. Oops!<\/p>\n

Short Takes –<\/p>\n

Robert Reich – Are record levels of stress inside us \u2014 or outside us?<\/a>
\nQuote – Studies show that women have nearly double the risk of depression as men. Black people also have higher stress levels \u2014 from 2014 to 2019, the suicide rate among Black Americans increased by 30 percent. Are women and Black people suffering from a \u201cdisorder,\u201d or are they responding to reality? Or both? White men without college degrees are particularly vulnerable to \u201cdeaths of despair\u201d from suicide, overdoses, and alcoholic liver diseases, with contributions from the cardiovascular effects of rising obesity, according to the American Council on Science and Health.
\nClick through for article.<\/a> As a person who has experienced clinical depression, controlled with medication, I suggest that both are real. And that stress anxiety\/depression and clinical anxiety\/depression do not respond to the same coping mechanisms. But also that external stress from an unhealthy society should certainly be minimized, and everyone would feel better if that could happen.<\/p>\n

Mother Jones – Don\u2019t Try Serving Ken Paxton With a Subpoena, Unless You Want to Get Shot<\/a>
\nQuote – Paxton responded angrily to the Texas Tribune\u2019s write-up of the incident on Tuesday morning, framing the encounter as a precautionary maneuver at a time when elected officials are being subjected to violent threats…. But if it was concern for the safety and well-being of his family that compelled Paxton to flee from a suspicious man with a manila envelope, it\u2019s not really clear why his wife dealt with him. If anyone is familiar with what it\u2019s like to be subpoenaed, it\u2019s the scandal-plagued attorney general of Texas.
\nClick through for story<\/a>. Beau of the Fifth Column made a video on this incident also.<\/a> Paxton must hate the Texas Tribune – it has a deserved reputation for honesty and reliability.<\/p>\n
