Caught up on two bleak chapters and all I can think of is the White House plan to "asses the threat" of life-saving mental health care. We've always failed people with mental illness- when we locked them away and then kicked them back out into the streets, when we shoved them in overcrowded AFC homes, when we correlate mental illness with violence, and now this. There are countless Esthers today who need care; what are we doing to see they get it?

Susanita However, whenever there‘s another mass shooting, the default answer is “mental health” instead of gun control, so they don‘t have to do a damn thing about either issue. 😡 10h

Andrea313 @Susanita Of course! And it has the wonderful effect of further marginalizing those living with mental health issues because of course violent shooters are all "crazy", so all-around fantastic way to govern. ? 10h
Bookwomble Over-prescription is an issue, but coming from the present US government, this can only be a worry. 2h
