This is encouraging news. I’m very glad to hear it’s going well. I think it highlights the importance of supporting leaders who back and participate in such initiatives.

The article mentions it would be great if police had the ability to take such individuals somewhere other than jail. But I really think it’s challenging to expect significant shifts in traditional enforcement practices. That puts even more of a strain on police to also be experts in evaluating the fitness of citizens. Which they shouldn’t be (at this point in history, where police officers are not trained well to handle mental health issues), even if a citizen is known to them (many reported here are repeating offenders). I think Colorado might show the most potential for change or other states however. Most states it seems are more concerned with which bathrooms kids are using and what books they can ban, rather than actually making life better, like these folks in the judicial system.

I am preparing to work in community mental health, and it’s just abundantly clear that the underlying social issues contributing to justice-related and justice-impacted individuals will persist. A different approach is needed beyond what current systems offer.

The article could be clearer and more polished, but it’s valuable that this topic is gaining attention.

If you are having trouble understanding all this, just keep in mind what the other poster said: tax dollars at work. Keep voting for the judges and public servants who prioritize this issue. So they can stay on and see it through. It won’t be solved in our lifetimes, likely, but we can plant the trees today that will shade future generations.

Wow mediashare was there until the last 20-30 days. Anybody know what happened? This post is now the only mention I see of it.

Welcome, new user!

You can either spoof your location and payment to India for cheap rate, or go to account share Reddit and get on someone’s family plan. Some even do family India, so it’s cheap family, at that. If you don’t have friends that do this already.

Just make sure you double check the user against the thread of scammers.

See my comment above yours for how to support good bills by testifying remotely.

There are those working to take voting rights away in Colorado.

If this pleases you, then know the Colorado General Assembly is now in session! It is a part time legislature. So act now.

It is very easy to sign up to testify in support of or against bills “Remotely via Zoom” on the below link.

It’s really important to support good bills, like loan repayment programs for mental health workers, universal healthcare reforms, and increasing housing equity. And it’s just as vital to stand against bills like income tax cuts (like in Texas), which runs against how Colorado finances work, and only benefit the wealthy. And bills seeking to take away voting rights, or curtail mail ballots.

Colorado lawmaking is wild. It’s the first time democrats have had a majority in several ways, but it is also a microcosm for the political/culture war bs that plagues the nation.

Positive social change is a lunch pail job, day in and day out.

One simply does not use Telegram - founder is sketchy and it now primarily has alt-right, conspiracy and terrorist uses.

I know some use it for trackers and to bootlick crackers, but it’s still not the best.

Yes, if you want to use the stick, Pm me if you’d like to talk about a reliable IPTV service (every sports and PPV). I suppose your other option would be to cast/mirror to your stick from your phone.

Certain VPNs might be better for this than others. Does yours use wireguard?

Of course. Sadly, I see downvotes a lot of the time on this subject in piracy circles, even though I think it keeps us from being isolated.

There are absolutely communities for this.

Search media share. I also have one post in my profile, for inquiring minds.

Every movement has its participants and its leaders - whether they meant to be, or simply were by virtue of their actions and position. Imo, there is nothing more human than the genuine and wholesome acknowledgment of those who paved the way for us. As well as raising awareness about the negative impacts of systemic oppression.

We rely on sharing lived experiences to raise awareness: about how society needs to change, mental health issues, learning differences, diversity, and so on.

Some might be overly sensitive about such things, due to many negative cults of personality in recent times. However, don’t let those negative experiences affect the present positive one: Aaron Swartz and the negative consequences of systemic oppression.

So where do you download stuff to? Would a WD Cloud storage drive work for this purpose?
