I’m on @Topofmindpod talking about #firearms and #suicide. How can we bridge the divide and move forward together to end gun deaths? #guns #guncontrol #massshooting #endfamilyfire #suicideprevention

@kirkjangel Tomorrow the CA State Bar is hosting an online symposium with a few sessions on AI. Likely good info for attorneys elsewhere too. https://t.co/wdc3gG0YPY

@repusnaketion Epiphany. It makes precious the inner lives of strangers via vivid storytelling, spare melody and sound, which is so unique. Plus it’s off the album that showed the lock-down world how incredibly prolific she is.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, The Royal Foundation is launching a new National Suicide Prevention Network, which is uniting charities across the four home nations to transform sucicide prevention in the UK.

In 2017, I warned in a New York Times OpEd that when suicide-prevention groups align with the gun industry, the message gets lost. @RollingStone reporting shows that’s exactly what happened. Prevention that protects power isn’t prevention. https://t.co/M5QrF8kNMt

5/The suicide prevention group is called American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The gun industry partner is called the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the gun industry's trade group.

4/Then the program was secretly shut down early, and in a meeting the suicide prevention group’s leader revealed, of the goal, that “It came out of work with a consultant,” and that it “wasn’t a hard and fast goal.” Measures were taken to cover tracks.

3/At no point did the NSSF or AFSP temper the public’s expectations about the achievability of reducing suicide 20 percent by 2025. All the while, suicide kept going up.

1/My latest story, part 4 of our series “The Secret Files of the Gun Industry,” begins in in 2016, when the country’s best-known suicide prevention group teamed up with the gun industry to tackle the biggest form of gun death + help reduce suicide 20% by 2025

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

The country’s best-known suicide prevention group teamed up with the gun industry.

The effort was good for public relations and raising money, but it never met its goal, and internal records show why.

@Jason @grok Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder tend to onset in males during late teens/early 20s due to their brain development. It tends to happen at a later point for women. This is per NIMH, Mayo Clinic, and NAMI.

@MBrand58224 @Jason Crowder’s video cites Pressley & Crockett, who Kirk didn’t even mention. Neither says they’re “only here” due to AA. No Obama/Brown Jackson clips.

[Erin Dunkerly @ErinDunkerly]

@MBrand58224 @Jason Sheila Jackson Lee said she got AA for Yale admission as a woman of color, but stressed in the same speech “I did not graduate on affirmative action,” implying merit. Not “only here” due to AA.

[Erin Dunkerly @ErinDunkerly]

@MBrand58224 @Jason Joy Reid says “I am DEI” (“D*mn Excellent and Innovative”) & credits AA for Harvard access, but doesn't say her job is only due to DEI or that she “wouldn’t have it without” it.

[Erin Dunkerly @ErinDunkerly]

@MBrand58224 @Jason Please let me know where to look. I searched and found no quote where Reid says her job is solely due to DEI. She’s credited affirmative action for access to school, but her job? Misquotes can twist her story.

[Erin Dunkerly @ErinDunkerly]

@Z09752769 @Jason I didn't say in my post what my thoughts were on KBJ.

@pappiness Suspects in their early 20s often align with mental illness onset, not higher ed. Blaming college misleads—focus on real drivers like trauma & gun access. #MentalHealthFacts #GunSafetyNow
