Ugh, I don't have the money to leave yet and my friend just called me.
Apparently, University of Indiana put a bunch of Bullshit on my friend's medical records that indicate that the doctors there tried to have him declared incompetent to make his own decisions.

My friend is now refusing ALL medical intervention and has decided to go home and simply die.

This is exactly what I didn't want for him :(
I can't feel anything but anger and rage... #VA#Veterans#mentalhealth

Israel’s crimes have been covered up by our governments for decades:

The issue of #US military 🪖 #veterans is neither limited to #NBC, nor to the #MassMedia, but has an entirely exasperating critical dimension, as I explained in this detailed thread last year:
