As a labor leader, I am appalled that our government has labeled calls for de-escalation, ceasefire, and peace in Palestine “repugnant”. Washington hawks worship their war machine and will do anything to justify mass death and an apartheid system that destroys human dignity.

Private equity is buying up and destroying our healthcare system. Here's how. THREAD 🧵

New national data shows, in 1 year, a stunning 400,000 people got police/EMS visits after calling the "confidential" 988 hotline --a 7.8% intervention rate on callers that's nearly four times higher than Vibrant and SAMHSA have ever publicly admitted. madinamerica.com/2024/06/dramat…

A staggering 400,000 Americans in 1st year of 988Lifeline got police/EMS visits. And if you call 988 to discuss suicidal feelings, the best data show you have about 1 in 5 odds of getting taken to a psychiatric institution. Just be aware. Caution others. madinamerica.com/2024/06/dramat…

We're at #FAccT2024 giving away this new zine: A Time Capsule of Workers Stories in the Age of Gen AI. This is a window into the complex relationship between workers and the AI we use (or are forced to use) and produce, but also resist and subvert… collectiveaction.tech/2024/bits-in-t…

we can't afford to keep the libraries open on Sundays but we can pay for cops to brutalize a CHILD for selling fruit? you cannot reform this. ABOLITION NOW. proud of the way the community pushed back to protect this little girl. we keep us safe. not cops, ever.

988Lifeline police/EMS interventions rise 300%, conversations recorded, shared, sold, TOS misleading, govt declines to comment... “If we continue on as we are, these problems of accountability are just going to entrench further,” said Tim Reierson. madinamerica.com/2024/06/988-re…

“They’re DELIBERATELY deceptive.”

988 is not neutral as Tim Reierson has been screaming for ages.

The 4th leading cause of death in the US? Cumulative poverty. theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Just being poor, alone, is 7th on that list, ahead of homicide, suicide, gun violence, and overdoses. Where is the U.S. Surgeon General warning for low-wage jobs or at-will employment?

1/ #988Lifeline The absence of strict & uniform standards around crisis conversation data storage & use benefits "in-house" corps like #Vibrant #BehavioralHealthLink. But leaves door open for #RingCentral #Elevance-#Carelon contracted in the system. Leaves door RECKLESSLY open...

2/ ..to industry monsters such as #Amazon #Microsoft #OpenAI #UnitedHealth #Teladoc (#TeladocHealth). Why we advocate: #SAMHSA (plus #Vibrant self-serving its data enterprise) carelessness could let some real tough customers collect 988 calls for "AI". finance.yahoo.com/news/teladoc-h…

3/Do a test #SAMHSA. Watch what happens when you take away easy access to data.Such as by deleting the conversations-after a brief period for QC.Eliminate call tracking of persons.Prohibit algorithms on conversations. The exploitative companies will suddenly lose interest in 988.
