  10. Hundreds turn out at #Michigan Capitol rally tied to national #AntiTrump movement

    by Ken Palmer, February 5, 2025

    "Speakers generally did not identify themselves as part of a particular political organization, but they included State Sen. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield, who spoke of protecting #LGBTQ rights, and Abdul El-Sayed, director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services, who said he was acting in a personal capacity.

    "'(It's) about damn time that we showed up, stood up and took our goverment back,' said El-Sayed, who railed against Trump's actions to freeze federal money for things such as #HealthCenters, #MentalHealthServices and the #WIC program, or Special Supplmental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.

    "Another speaker urged protestors to 'flood the phone lines' of elected officials to register their concerns.

    "'A lot of us are here because we understand the danger we are facing, and we know that today is the time to act,' she said. 'We will not sit on the sidelines and watch as our rights are ripped way and the billionnaires dismantle our democracy, stripping it for parts.'"

  13. The niggardly resources for ex-service people with psychiatric conditions don't seem to be much different than the same lack of resources for any other UK resident.

    That's not a reason not to improve them but all Mental Health Services in the UK need improving. At the moment they are not fit for purpose in any Nation or Trust.

  15. @Miriamm If Republicans truly believe the cause of school shootings is not the ready availability of guns in the US but rather mental health issues (which are equally common in other countries that do not have school shootings (nor plentiful guns)), then their vote on school-based mental-health services would indicate that they *want* school shootings.

  16. Momentum in the movement?

    The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has conducted, or launched investigations into several states’ unjust practices regarding persons with disabilities and violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

    The Landmark US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) case, “Olmstead v. L.C.”, concluded that “people with disabilities have a qualified right to receive state funded supports and services in the community rather than institutions…” Many state’s still choose to ignore this decision and many aspects of the ADA.

    A DOJ investgation focused on Maine, found that “Maine unnecessarily segregates children with mental health and/or developmental disabilities, in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment facilities, and a state-operated juvenile detention facility”.

    This directly vIolates the “Olmstead" decision which says that people with disabilities have a right  to live in the community and receive services conducive to “community intergration".  Community intergration is also outlined in the ADA.  The services most accommodating and appropriate according to their needs, are a “right” under these federal guidelines.  Where would you prefer to receive medical services… in your community while living at home, or at a hospital, institution or other detainment facility?

    Some of the other states that have, or are under investigation, are noted below and accompanied by links to the DOJ website.

    The DOJ investigation of Oklahoma for ADA violations asks the question:  Did Oklahoma fail to provide community based mental health services, thus creating unnecessary institutionalization and contact with police?

    In 2022 it is reported that over 1100 people were killed by US police personnel.  This figure most likely does not account for many unreported incidents involving those with invisible disabilities,  or reports attempting to justify deaths with the commonly uttered statement: “the individual had a history of mental illness".  Would these humans still be alive if they were provided proper treatment and services?

    Missouri is under similar DOJ scrutiny and also seems to practice “legal" exploitation of persons with disabilities regarding employment and fair wages.  How does $1 an hour sound to you?  That will be the topic of my next piece.

    Similar injustices with regard to providing community based services in Kentucky prompted an investigation launched last May.

    Is that more listening hear? Will it really bring significant change?
    Are you, the citizens and party members listening and advocating for these nessesary changes?

    This may be great for the disability community, disability justice and mental health but, it takes support from all disabled and abled persons alike, to insure changes are implemented and adhered to. This support is also imperative for similar advancements in other states and at the federal level.

    Unfortunately,  it seems many are too distracted fighting about partisanship, and wooden hammers.  Many others claiming support for all marginalized people, often fail to include or mention the disability community in the fight for equality.

     “We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability…”

    ― Martin Luther King Jr.

    “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”

    ― Martin Luther King Jr.
