Would you also tell the story of my friend, Alyssa Peterson, who was an interrogator, and saw what was happening with the torture.

When her CO wouldn't transfer her, she committed suicide rather than be forced to watch innocent people be tortured.

Her death is on men like him.
Please look her story up, if you will. She has a Wikipedia page.

Someone asked me for links that could be shared with my post, so here they are, for those like the jackass above that wanted proof of "...things that never happened..."

Here is her Wikipedia page, and the Independent article.

#EllieSouter didn't "die"--she committed suicide. Shocking thay her tragic loss is framed as a natural passing.

She chose her 18th birthday to exit this life. Her memory deserves more than #suicide hotline numbers tacked on at the end. Soutter was a star & role model. Do better.
We need to discuss #suicide
more, not less. Pretending that Ellie Soutter just died instead of having a plan to kill herself on her birthday is bad journalism. Her ex talked about her ongoing depression. Teens are under special stresses, especially those in the spotlight. 2/
Teens are also susceptible to copycat suicide--romanticizing the suicide of an 18 yr old star is dangerous. The suffering people endure prior to killing themselves and the suffering their loved ones endure after their passing is extreme and demands and deserves discussion.

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.

1. Noby Ngombane opened the front door to his assasin with his 5 year old daughter, Zandile next to him. 13 years later, urged by her mother, Nokwanda to check on her, I found her hanging in her room on 9/05/2018. She was 1st year student @ AFDA, in CT. #ZandileNgombane #Suicide
2. The young woman hanging in that little room was, silent. On Friday 4/05/2018, we hung out together. In my B&B room, had deep conversation about her dreams & her family. Our discussion on semiotics of film & feminism was passionate & incredibly stimulating. #ZandileNgombane
3. I gave her my Mac and asked her to google a number of authors. She was 18. She’d read a lot for her age. Her eyes widened, as she discovered names and theories that were new to her. Shortly before 10pm, I put her in an Uber & she left. #ZandileNgombane

Over the past 2 days, hundreds of doctors have shared heartbreaking accounts of how #gunviolence is a #publichealth issue. These are the stories of #docs4gunsense ... May their words make a difference.

The result of a bullet ricocheting inside the skull and destroying the brain on CT scan. The worst trauma I have seen. GUNS ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE – Gen Geller MD, NY #docs4gunsense @drgenngeller
The damage a bullet does to a 1 year old brain as it ricochets back and for. The guilt the family feels. The sadness we all feel.

I just got a phone call from my local @PPact asking if I'd be willing to tell my story on social media & in a public speaking campaign.
I have been a PP supporter my entire adult life. They were there for me throughout the yrs when I needed them b/c I didn't have insurance.
I can't even count the hours I've dedicated to volunteering, interning, working for Planned Parenthood. I knocked on doors in support of...

Suicide & Depression are rapidly increasing in numbers, it's reality now... A Thread. #Suicide #Depression and #Friendship #Thread
So I went to go visit my friend, and as per usual found gran in the T.V. room alone, laughed and spoke abit about strange topics like death.
I remember I'm here to see my friend (I wanted his opinion of a guy macking me) so I end the convo with gran & ask where he is ☺
