Texas HHSC

NAPP was created for this one thing. STANDING. People need to understand what the Talevski family endured. They didn’t just sue a nursing home. They had to fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court for 3 years JUST to be allowed to bring a §1983 claim in federal court for violations of FNHRA rights (unnecessary chemical restraints and forced transfers). SCOTUS said YES in June 2023 (7-2). Case remanded. But here’s the brutal reality: Gorgi Talevski passed away in 2021. His widow Ivanka (if she's still alive) is still carrying the torch as estate representative. And as of today — nearly 3 years after the Supreme Court win — they STILL have to litigate the actual merits in district court. Prove the harm. Win damages. The endless, exhausting, re-traumatizing court process is abuse in and of itself. If she's still alive and well, we pray she continues the fight. This is exactly why we formed NAPP (and hope to eventually be able to help others in court once we've created our own precedent in the Idaho Supreme Court): so we can have standing as interested parties and sue for accountability. No family should have to climb this mountain alone just to hold abusers accountable. Thank you again to everyone who helped get Talevski across the finish line on standing. NAPP was created out of seeing a need for advocacy in secret proceedings where the courts take the money and rights of the elderly in secret - and often illegal - proceedings, using any, and I mean any means to silence anyone who advocates for them (including attorneys trying to do the right thing), causing an inability to defend against the captured cabal court corruption. NAPP was built like the NAACP. Under Supreme Court precedent in Hunt v. Washington State Apple Advertising Commission (1977), organizations like ours have associational standing to sue in federal court on behalf of our members when: + Our members (families and protected elders) would have standing to sue on their own, + The issues — unnecessary chemical restraints, forced transfers, guardianship abuse, FNHRA violations — are germane to NAPP’s core mission of protecting vulnerable seniors, and + The lawsuit doesn’t require every single member to participate personally. This is exactly how the @NAACP has fought civil rights battles for generations (see NAACP v. Button, 1963, which protects groups’ right to associate for litigation). Thank you to all at the who went through that special hell to get equal access for all. As a charity and membership organization, NAPP also qualifies as an 'interested party' under most state guardianship and conservatorship statutes due to benefitting the public good, allowing us to intervene directly to advocate for residents. If systemic abuse diverts our resources, we have organizational standing too. Bottom line: We won’t just support families — eventually as time and money permit, we will be able to stand in court with them and for them. The goal is, no more solo climbs to the Supreme Court just to get through the door. This is our goal, what we were created for, and what we hope to achieve in time. We have set up the foundation for us to be able to have standing. Thank you, again, @chicjustice for making us aware.

@TexasDFPS Why aren't you looking into how Theodis Daniel, who's running for office in TX, constantly exploits his cancer stricken son DJ, using him for both political & political fundraising purposes. The child is never seen out of that police uniform, & it's unknown if he attends school
