Stop blaming mental illness. Here's why.
First there are differing definitions/views.
Let's stick with clinical & popular views.
Definitions of mental illness
Ø Some are legal
Ø Some are clinical
Ø Some are popular
When most people think of mental illness they think
of people who are out of touch w/reality & behaving bizarrly

That may include hallucinations, extreme paranoia,
lack of control of feelings & behavior, or dangerous
delusions all due to mental illness.
These states can occur because of substance abuse or some medical conditions -- including Parkinson's, dementia, brain tumors...

Are you sick of the endless analyzing of the murder of Tyre Nicholls & all of the others?

Sick of hearing about misconduct by police?

Sick of "all talk & no walk!"

"Police culture?" Where is the CHAIN OF COMMAND.

Problems get solved when those in POWER & AUTHORITY want them solved.

There is a CHAIN OF COMMAND in the military. In hospitals!

Are Police Chiefs & Sheriffs unable to exercise supervisory authority?

abcnews.go.com/US/tyre-nichol…
Look up the budgets for YOUR city police dept

How much MONEY is spent on settling complaints from citizens?

How many of the OFFICERS have numbers of complaints filed.

How few OFFICERS get disciplined?

How many go on to work in ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY.

+1,341,000 people in Wisconsin are over 60.
+950,000 people are over 65.

The @GOP & WI Republicans didn't care if we lived or died during COVID

They would not vote to cap insulin at $35/month

We cannot live without #SocialSecurity & #Medicare

13,752 people Wisconsinites died of COVID19

> 86% of them were over 60 years of age <

13,752 people died in Wisconsin while
Republicans lied to citizens about it and obstructed
@GovEvers

@wisgop @GOP @WIAssemblyGOP @WisSenGOP

The percentage of Americans age 65 and older who have diabetes is ~29%.

92% of @HouseGOP voted against capping the price of insulin.

People die because they do not have affordable insulin.

The Turnaway Study shows the harm that women experience who are denied an abortion.

ansirh.org/sites/default/…
"Denying a woman an abortion creates economic hardship and insecurity which lasts
for years."
Read that again.
"Women turned away from getting an abortion are more likely to stay in contact with a
violent partner. They are also more likely to raise the resulting child alone."
Violence from partners decreased when women had an abortion but not when they were turned away.

If you aren't horrified...?
Are you horrified?
💔Are you as stunned as I am to find yourself STILL living in a world where women do not have the right to make all decisions about their own bodies and welfare?
💔STILL today, most leaders of most religions, businesses, companies, and most political bodies are MEN! Even though women are equally capable.
Please! Don't tell me that your church has a female leader. That is irrelevant.
💔Republican politicians are openly talking about limiting access to contraception.
It is 2022!
Republicans want women barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen!?!
