Boston Consulting Group spent more than 7 months developing the aid death traps that are killing ~100 Palestinians a day in Gaza. These too are genocidaires
Today, during a water distribution in Gaza City, a young girl collapsed. She is dizzy, she is hungry, she is thirsty, she is absolutely exhausted. chuffed.org/project/help-u…. She collapsed from the weight of the responsibility to collect water for her family for survival. She…
Are houseless people in urgent need of psychiatric treatment or are they in urgent need of, say, HOUSING?
With temperatures hitting 35 degrees Celsius/ 95 Fahrenheit, patients in hospitals are struggling with the heat. The third burn degrees in particular need fans for their wounds, support: chuffed.org/project/help-u… The Sameer Project x Translating Falasteen (@translating_falasteen)…
Predictable, but no less shocking or reprehensible: Trump just signed an executive order urging states to forcibly institutionalize homeless people, defund Housing First, criminalize encampments, and cut aid to cities that don't comply.
Trump’s new order pressures states to incarcerate homeless people, defund Housing First, criminalize encampments, and cut funding for cities that don't follow his fascist orders. This is a major step in the regime’s eugenicist campaign to disappear people with mental illness.

Yesterday my psychiatrist compared nonspeaking autistic kids to animals and said she is basically a veterinarian in case you need some anger this morning.
A common psychiatric outcome: not happier, just quieter.
An example of what causes maternal depression. Prescribing antidepressants to prospective & current mothers doesn’t fix problems like this one.
I went to the grocery store to get something to cook for dinner and came across a woman, with 3 kids, crying…I mean bawling… because she didn’t know how she was going to continue to feed her kids due to the prices on almost everything being 4-5 times higher then they were.
This hyper-individualistic care, thats predicated on you having SO many resources, is absurd. Truly only those with $ can afford to follow the recommendations of top specialists. There is no regard for how the rest of us might implement physician "recommendations" 8/8
