America’s largest mental health institutions are no longer hospitals — they’re jails. Psychiatric bed shortages and decades of policy decisions have pushed treatment into the criminal justice system. My latest article ⬇️ bluewaveresistance2026.substack.com/p/from-asylu...

I don't interact as much on here as I probably should. Many of my posts get shoved down in the algorithm, just as they do "elsewhere," like on that "other" site. I have quite a few followers here, but no reach. I do write articles on Substack that also get no reach. I wonder, what's the point?

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Sadly, this is the ICE M.O.: Assault innocent people and then tell elaborate lies to blame the victim. No judge should give any credence to anything a DHS lawyer says to them. They have proven themselves to be liars too often.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.
