@jlosc9 @theintercept @TheTakeaway Four people have died at Stewart in two years, two of them by suicide after they were held in solitary for prolonged periods. #ShutDownStewart democracynow.org/2019/7/30/pedr…
@jlosc9 @theintercept @TheTakeaway A CBS story last week showed that another man who died by suicide after he was held in solitary, Jeancarlo Jimenez-Joseph, requested FIVE TIMES that his med dosages be increased, to avail. Because Stewart had a year-long vacancy for full-time psychiatrist

@jlosc9 @theintercept @TheTakeaway Stewart also operates a forced labor program where detained immigrants are paid 1-4 dollars a day for doing the work the corporate-run facility would have had to hire regularly-waged employees for. If they refuse, they're put in solitary. #ShutDownStewart theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
@jlosc9 @theintercept @TheTakeaway We have called for years for this horrific facility to be shut down and continue to call on Congress to take action. #ShutDownStewart

@jlosc9 @theintercept @TheTakeaway The United Nations has also expressed concern about the conditions at Stewart and demanded a response from the government and the prison corporations. No response has been forthcoming. #ShutDownStewart atlantamagazine.com/news-culture-a…

What are the odds of two mass shootings, in less than 24 hrs, occurring just days after the media, including Media Matters, publishes a report from a Phoenix FBI field office that Qanon? .@kmitchell0071 @DavidPDuffy25 @BernardKerik
I’m not trying to sound too wacky conspiratorial but surely law enforcement suspects that these are not random occurrences. They appear to be politically targeted staged violence that all come crafted w/Dem narrative MOs.
The media reports appear to be targeting the FBI. They want Qanons to believe that the FBI is part of the planning. Don’t fall for it.

Right after Donald Trump’s election, the SPLC really stoked panic. A pro-gay Episcopal church in Indiana was vandalized w/“Heil Trump,” a swastika, & an anti-gay slur. Turns out it was the gay organ player who did it. He was only charged w/a misdemeanor. indystar.com/story/news/201…
Days after the Pittsburgh massacre, Trump supporters were blamed for Nazi vandalism at a Brooklyn synagogue & fires in a Jewish community. Turns out the perpetrator was a gay black man who had worked with city council on an initiative to fight hate crimes. newyork.cbslocal.com/2018/11/02/bro…
One week before the presidential election, a black church in Mississippi was burned in an arson attack. “Vote Trump” was written on the building. After much panic, an investigation revealed that the man responsible was a church member. Andrew McClinton: washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…

For those who are inclined to say that all Trans are harmless individuals in need of support, sensitivity, and understanding, this should help clarify that embedded within the alternative lifestyle movements are a significant number of very deviant and dangerous sexual predators.
This is a huge safety concern for women. As this took place in a college dorm, Universities must ensure they have experts on campus who can help them discern the difference between those in need of emotional /psychological support vs, sophisticated predators in "sheep's clothing"

ICE is reporting that Efrain De La Rosa, a Mexican immigrant from Puebla, has reportedly committed suicide while detained at Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA. His is the third death at the facility in 15 months.
Stewart is notorious for being a sort of last stop before deportation for many immigrants and for many years, the judges there have denied a bulk of asylum claims.
This includes Judge Dan Trimble, who was on the board of visitors for the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, formerly known as the School of the Americas: rewire.news/article/2016/0…

Hello. I'm someone living with depression and there have been times where I've just wanted to end it all, to disappear, to make it stop. Here's what I want you to do instead of posting #suicide hotline numbers:
Lobby for better healthcare conditions in America. Call your representatives and ask them to support affordable and easy access to mental healthcare treatment. Stop thinking emotional people are 'weak.' Help suicide prevention volunteers get paid for helping people stay alive.
The healthcare crisis in America impacts people with mental health issues. Medicine, therapists and wellness programs are expensive without healthcare. We can't afford treatment. We don't have access to the needs and conditions that can truly help prevent suicide.
