My advocacy against human rights abuses in community mental health "care"

UPDATES:
I've now heard that Matthew Pyne has been emailing around the office asking if anyone has heard or seen from me, the same day someone made a $400 offer for my website through a GoDaddy Domain Broker. Justice and accountability will cost them a lot more than that.
**************************************
I'm Jeramy Dalpe, mentally ill but high functioning ASD1.
Pine Street Inn (AKA PSI), helped me get back to work while I adjusted to trusting people again, then helped get me housed in one of their Brookline residential housing units. I did very well. I should make clear that PSI is a wonderful organization in all other depts, but their property management needs to be flushed from top (Matthew Pyne), all the way down(Nate "Ricky" Rickerson).
On August 3rd, 2022, Nate "Ricky" Rickerson, a 2nd shift PSI Employee, falsely accused me of using racist and threatening language to his boss, Andrea Quintyne, at my doorway. I was deeply upset as I have never engaged in such behavior.
Unbeknownst to them, my seven 4K security cameras recorded everything, proving my innocence. When they learned of this, they tried to gaslight me into believing the recordings were illegal, which they are not.
Several individuals either participated in the false accusations or failed to address the truth. This led to legal actions against me, causing the loss of my apartment and belongings worth about $80,000.
The administration NEVER tried to fix what their staff did, only covered it up.
I reported their lawyer to the American BAR Association for professional misconduct for ignoring evidence that cleared me. They further spread lies to housing authorities and the police, ruining my chances of finding housing and forcing me onto the street, absolutely destroyed my life.

What Pine Street Inn did was cruel and traumatic, resulting in significant liability for violating my civil rights. Their actions led to a strong case for racial slander/defamation/libel against them.
During my investigation into Pine Street Inn Property Management abuses, I uncovered extensive corruption in Cambridge Bay Cove Human Services. I witnessed similar racial abuses as in Brookline and Boston. Bay Cove's actions are even more brazen than Pine Street Inn's. I created a separate dotcom just for them and pointed it here... LINK or LINK
I will speak at several Cambridge City Council meetings to explain how my experience at Pine Street Inn led me to expose the Bay Cove atrocities. (Spoke at one so far LINK). Unlike my experience with PSI, Cambridge officials welcomed my reports instead of responding with racial hostility. I will not name names of these wonderful people because they helped me when no one else would! I'm afraid they'll be targeted by a smear campaign also.
Their Claims
Remember, my evidence proves they were doing what they falsely claim i was doing.
It's funny when corrupt people do that, like politicians do every day.
I post true statements. It's not slander if it's true.
Nothing they claim i did is true, besides creating websites
to counter their coverup campaign of racist attacks.
Their careers are tainted, that's not my fault,
I'm just telling the world what they did to me, and it's my right.
You did this to yourselves.

What Is Defamation?
Defamation happens when a person makes a false statement—verbally or in writing—about someone else that damages that person's reputation.
Each state has its own defamation laws, but the basic principles of defamation law are the same in every state.
A plaintiff suing for defamation typically must show that the defendant:
- made an "unprivileged" false statement of fact (an opinion is not defamatory)
- the statement was made to a third party (someone other than the plaintiff), and
- the statement harms the reputation of the plaintiff.
Plaintiffs must also show that the defendant was "at fault" when the statement was made. The legal definition of fault changes based on who was defamed. Private figures must show that the defendant acted "negligently." In other words, the plaintiff must show that the defendant didn't bother to find out if the statement was true or false before making it.
Public figures must show that the defendant acted with "actual malice." Actual malice means that the defendant either knew that the statement was false, or acted with reckless disregard for whether it was true or false.
Two Types of Defamation: Libel vs. Slander
Libel and slander are methods of defamation. Libel is defamation in written form. Slander is defamation that is spoken out loud.
Libel
Libel is the publication of a false statement about someone in writing that harms that person's reputation by exposing them to public hatred, scorn, disgrace, ridicule, or shame.
Typical forms of libel include statements published in:
- books
- magazines
- newspapers
- newsletters, and
- on social media.
What Is "Libel Per Se"?
Written statements are libel per se when they are so widely understood to be harmful that they are presumed to be damaging to the plaintiff's reputation. Examples of statements that are libel per se include statements that falsely claim that someone:
- committed a crime
- suffers from an infectious disease
- lacks professional integrity or competence, or
- engaged in adultery.
Examples of Libel
Someone can make a libelous statement about a person or business in print or online. Examples of potentially libelous statements include:
- a social media post spreading a false rumor about a person having a sexually transmitted infection
- a Yelp review that falsely claims the reviewer got food poisoning at a restaurant
- a performance evaluation that falsely accuses an employee of stealing, or
- a letter to the editor falsely accusing an attorney of practicing without a license.
Libel is considered in context. If a writer describes an athlete as a "pimp" in a glowing profile in a magazine, it probably isn't libel. In the context of the profile, the writer is likely complimenting the athlete, not accusing the athlete of a crime.
Slander
Slander is the communication of a false statement about someone by spoken word or gesture that harms that person's reputation.
Typical forms of slander include verbal statements at a town hall meeting or at a professional conference.
Technology is increasingly blurring the lines between spoken and printed communications. Is a podcast an oral statement (slander) or a written script read out loud (libel)? Are text messages more like a conversation (slander) or a blog post (libel)?
Courts are split on whether to characterize broadcast speech and digital communications as slander or libel. Some lawmakers and legal scholars think courts should get rid of the categories altogether. Most courts now focus on the permanence of the defamatory statement and how widely the statement is distributed. Courts are likely to characterize permanent and far-flung statements as libel, while more fleeting statements that are made to a smaller audience are slander.
Slander Per Se
Slander, like libel, is divided into two categories: slander and slander per se.
Slander per se is the spoken word version of libel per se—a false statement that is so obviously harmful that damage to a plaintiff's reputation is presumed. Examples of slander per se include false accusations of improper sexual conduct, criminal activity, or bad business dealings.
Plaintiffs making non-per se slander claims have to show that the defendant made a false statement of fact about them to at least one other person and that they suffered "special damages" as a result of the slander. Special damages are evidence that the spoken words resulted in economic harm to the plaintiff, like getting fired or losing customers.
