Yup.

@ChrisCuomo I don’t know if the people at @NewsNation or @ChrisCuomo actually go through all these messages, but if you come along this one, please just keep it in mind in your reporting: Stop using the phrase “the mentally ill.” Words matter.

[Dena Croog @dcroog]

@ChrisCuomo Using the phrase “the mentally ill” stigmatizes and “others” people with mental illness and reduces them to a blanket slight as opposed to the people who they are. It inadvertently leads to intolerance of people with such illnesses who are not deranged and dangerous murderers.

[Dena Croog @dcroog]

@ChrisCuomo @NewsNation Love the show, but in the town hall when talking about mental health, Chris, you used the term “the mentally ill,” which is not cool. It’s people with mental illness, not “the mentally ill”

So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you.

I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.

NY people - these are insane, trying times. If you need any legal help trying to deal with the impact of Coronavirus on your life or business, reach out. No charge.

Depending on how many people do, I may not be able to help everyone who asks. But I'll help as many as I can
