Here we go again! The Hubbard county cops wanna siege our comrades in @GiniwCollective so call up walz/Flanagan and Ellison!
If you can't be a body here on the frontlines, be a body on the phone lines. Walz got a thick skull, takes him a lot of calls to wise up.
The 17 yr pause on federal executions w/o actually abolishing the death penalty had a devastating cost. The same is happening now in CA. Our governor put a moratorium on executions but has the power to commute death sentences. It’s all performative & it’ll cost ppl their lives.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent tonight in U.S. v. Dustin Higgs will be remembered long into the future as one of the most thorough, resounding indictments of this administration’s reckless, immoral, illegal effort to execute as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

Incarceration does not just impact the mental health of those who are incarcerated but all of our communities. When we treat people as disposable, When we say there is only one "normal" way to be in the world, all our negatively impacted. #StopTheMusick#DisabilityJustice
Peer support, affordable/supportive housing, and outpatient mental health care create lasting stability that means people won't reach crisis, and will be safer from state intervention. #StopTheMusick#CareNotCages
We need a different framework all together. Incarceration doesn't help anyone. People with disabilities aren't a crisis to be managed; they are our community members. #StopTheMusick

What can be done to stop the Mental Health Jail in OC?

The same shady stuff is going on in Riverside where the sheriff keeps asking for more money to support "mental health" initiatives. This is what that looks like. #StopTheMusick in OC and #BootBianco in Riverside.
It's not really even about alternatives to incarceration to address the needs of people with disabilities because incarceration doesn't address our needs, it exacerbates them. #StopTheMusick
