"Though data on police domestic violence is not only notoriously difficult to gather but also skewed by a culture of silence and intimidation, it suggests that police officers in the United States perpetrate acts of domestic violence at roughly 15 times the rate of the general population. Because officers tend to protect their own, domestic victims of violent cops often don’t know where to go.
The more honest officers will tell you that policing is a job about control... These men aren’t losing control. They are maintaining control."

Question:
Is any researcher or investigative #journalist #journalists looking into the suicide rate for #MAGA followers?
We know anecdotally that #DomesticViolence and #MAGA appears connected. (And, #research really, really ought to try to get a better handle on that.) #DV is associated with depression.
I am not trying to solve any great equation. I believe the rise of #AntiDemocratic thought is a culmination of many things. I am informally (meaning, I do not intend at this time to turn it into a research question) looking at MAGA in terms of #HumanDevelopment with a strong emphasis on #Womens development. (Meaning why do women become entangled with MAGA?)
We can read great books like *On Tyranny* and philosophers like #HannaArendt to see how #AntiDemocratic #Authoritarianism appeals to some. I'm curious why it appeals to some. One argument states it appeals because it's easy; it gives easy answers. But desiring and/or accepting easy answers strongly indicates there is a connection to human development.
Developmentally, MAGA perhaps could be viewed as an impetus for an awaking of knowledge about self... and, age does not matter here because such an awakening can happen late in life if there is some sort of break. Following the 'break" and being in a newly subjectivist area of development, the person starts to see they are knowers; that they themselves are experts. Subjectivist knowers begin to see truth as intuitive, something where they have the expertise within them and they only need to "listen to their gut." (One can see how MAGA gives people a sense of confirmation of expertise.) But development is not easy to go through, and development is neither linear nor does it follow a prescribed time table. It is known people can have problems in these stages because of the stresses caused. (Note: there are stages of human development beyond subjectivist knowing; but perhaps MAGA gets stuck or falls back within stages, as researchers show happens.)
Hence, my question: if there is a high prevalence of #DV , that prevalence indicates there may also be a high prevalence of depression. Given #MAGA preference for violence, I am wondering how high is suicide amongst MAGA followers? (And, I am counting a willingness to break the law or die for the cause a form of self-harm.)

Friends in the U.S. The government is conducting a test today that will force a message on all connected devices. People (almost exclusively women) suffering domestic violence who have hidden phones are at risk. Please let people know so they can turn them off completely.
If you have hidden/secret phone (safety reasons or whatever else) - turn it off tomorrow. The only bypass way to ensure you skip the alert = turning it off. Only turn it back on in a safe environment.
Stay safe, make sure it stays hidden.
#domesticviolence
FEMA and the FCC are testing their emergency alert systems Wednesday, sending an alarm to cellphones nationwide even if the devices are set to opt-out of them. Social media users are sending out an alert of their own ahead of the test, saying vulnerable people with secret cell phones, such as domestic violence victims, should turn off their device.
@w7voa It’s important that people who are in a domestic violence situation and hiding a phone for emergencies keep it powered down during the tests. Keeping it on silent mode will not be enough as the test will override it. #FEMA #EmergencyBroadcast #DomesticViolence
The FEMA emergency test is this coming Wednesday, October 4.
If you hide a phone for safety’s sake, *power it all the way down* before 11:20 pacific time, and keep it off for at least 30 minutes after the test.
Phone on silent won’t work.

Substance #addiction and #alcoholism are serious conditions and I have great sympathy for those who suffer and great admiration for those who get help. But that also doesn’t mean one can use alcoholism as an excuse for one’s actions. One has to deal with the fallout. And if #Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán’s history of #DomesticViolence is related to his alcoholism, I applaud him for getting help, but I still am not okay with his actions nor want him on my favorite #baseball team.
#Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán is going to rehab for alcohol abuse. According to GM Brian Cashman, there was an incident yesterday. Look, I understand and respect a need for privacy, but when referencing a vague incident with a man who has a history of #DomesticViolence, Cashman has to know where our minds go.
“I’m worried right now for the person and the immediate family.” This quote from Cashman can just be bc #alcoholism impacts the alcoholic and their loved ones, but with Germán’s history…
On this day of 113°F or 45°C, let us remember that domestic violence, femicide, and abuse skyrocket in proportion to heat waves, as well as pulmonary injury to vulnerable children from Ozone and other pollutants:

📢 The European Parliament's final position on the directive on combatting #ViolenceAgainstWomen and #DomesticViolence is here.
✅ less focus on criminalisation, more on protection
✅ online platforms recognised as crucial players
✅ a specific article to support victims of #CyberViolence
❌ no room for encryption
This inner critic is common in those like me, who have been sexually/physically and or psychologically abused.
Interestingly though, it’s job is to actually to protect.
It believes as you are worthless and pain is inevitable to present that to you first, so others cannot cause you further pain.
I welcome the ratification by the European Union of the Council of #Europe #IstanbulConvention and I urge all #CouncilofEurope member states to ratify and fully implement this landmark instrument to combat #ViolenceAgainstWomen and #DomesticViolence. #VAW #EU @coe

UPDATE: 🖤💛♥️
Aunty has been safety relocated in another jurisdiction. Now we are working around the clock to secure palliative care and permanent safe affordable housing near a hospital.
Safe affordable housing is at a crisis in this country so we won’t be able to secure housing for Aunty quickly. Because of this we need to continue to raise funds to pay for private rental which is expensive. So please keep donating and sharing.
As I said goodbye to Aunty to travel back to Meanjin she said surprisingly that she wanted to live. 🥲 This broke my heart 💔 and made me smile as we cried together. It was hard to say goodbye.
Aunty has many people around her now who are caring for her and advocating for her medical needs and housing. We also have to return to her home and pack up her personal items and engage a removalist to transport to a storage shed. We will need to pay for this from the fund raiser as well.
Please share and donate if you can
Much love to you all who are donating to support Aunty.

It is with great sadness that Debbie Kilroy has had to travel interstate to urgently relocate one of our sistas who is an Aboriginal Elder and who is one of the Stolen Generation.
We must get her out of her home where she is experiencing abuse and is not safe. She is very unwell and lives on oxygen. Her prognosis is not good.
She has to leave with only the clothes she is wearing, her medication and oxygen tank.
They will travel together by vehicle interstate and secure safe accommodation near a hospital so she is cared for and free from violence. There is no affordable accommodation across the country so the funds donated will go towards securing private rental until we can secure public housing near a hospital.
Please help us so she can live a longer life free from violence and live in a safe home.
Plz donate here 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
