🚨 The Special Ones Series🚨
They call them “special.” Not because they’re protected but because they’re targeted. This series exposes how psychiatric holds (5150s) are weaponized against unhoused individuals, not for care, but for control.
We document:
- 🧠The misuse of mental health codes to justify forced removals
- đź“‹ The paper trails that vanish when holds are used off-record
- 🏥 The trauma of being institutionalized without consent or follow-up
- ⚖️ The civic complicity in using psychiatry as a cleanup tool
This isn’t just about broken systems it’s about deliberate design. The Special Ones Series is a call to witness, to archive, and to demand trauma-informed alternatives that center dignity, not disappearance.
