But all the things that DID shift the scales, Civil Rights, Women's Suffrage, legalizing Gay Marriage, etc., these things required ENDLESS activation by groups of people who were committed to such a degree it is inspiring. More of us need to start seeing our place in the world that way.

We also need to be better at telling the longer stories. The ones that don’t end. The ones where we bend the universe towards justice and that it’s not some inherently accepted byproduct of being a human being.

The fact cops can’t deal with a mental health crisis in one person tells me they shouldn’t be handling guns AT ALL. If you can’t deescalate a person, or just talk to them empathetically, you shouldn’t be there in the first place.

Lil Nas X faces felony charges of "battery" against an officer from an arrest during a mental health crisis in late August. I wrote about my family member's experience with police being sent during mental health episodes—still common for wellness checks—and how it ruined their life.

Sam Maiden, thanks for the complex background to Bob Katter, but he’s an adult who bears responsibility for his behaviour, and if he is so troubled by this aspect of his identity, he should get proper help and not make others carry the cost. #insiders
