Still haunted by this investigative reporting... MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT A CRIME!
Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Remembering Miles Hall: Honoring His Life & Legacy with Compassion, Courage & Action
Miles was our dear friends’ only son. He was just 23 years young, not unlike my own children. Miles was more than a headline or a hashtag. He was a loving son and grandson, a supportive big brother, ...

When we fight to #decriminalizementalillness these horrific harms (torture, starvation) are part of why we need to remove law enforcement (+jails prisons) from the equation. Miles was killed by police bullets when he needed care. Is this the "care" he would have received if he'd lived? 💔 NO!
The number of people jailed pretrial has nearly quadrupled since the 1980s; people with mental-health issues tend to be detained much longer than the rest of the population. Sarah Stillman reports on a crisis of care in county jails across the nation.

Along with so many other things across our country today, SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, is being dismantled before our eyes. One big hurdle in defending its importance is that many don't know what does. >>

Saturday February 15 would have been Miles 29th Birthday. Againwe're grateful the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors has declared it "Miles Hall Day of Remembrance".

We remember Miles EVERY day as he inspires everything we do to decriminalize and destigmatize mental illness and end police harm.

Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

Just an FYI to fellow my Contra Costa peeps, call Rep. Mark DeSaulnier’s D.C. and Walnut Creek offices today and encourage him to release the Matt Gaetz ethics report.
On a totally unrelated note, the Democrats on House Ethics are:

Ranking Member Susan Wild (PA) - (202) 225-6411
Mark DeSaulnier (CA) - (202) 225-2095
Veronica Escobar (TX) - (202) 225-4831
Glenn Ivey (MD) - (202) 225-8699
Deborah Ross (NC) - (202) 225-3032
The House ethics committee doesn't need to "leak" the Gaetz report. Nothing is stopping any member of that committee from invoking parliamentary privilege to read the full report into the Congressional Record.
