    For some reason, I haven't been invited to Davos this year. Was it something I said? 🤔

    ... but in meantime, we have shown that delivering methadone or buprenorphine maintenance to patients in a large urban jail is feasible, safe & effective, and should be the standard of care everywhere. Thanks to everyone who is fighting to make that a reality. 11/

    Jail remains an incredibly toxic & harmful place. While these interventions reduce risk of dying while there, or upon release -- that does not mean jail is safe for anyone, & we must work to reduce & abolish use of these settings for rehabilitative or restorative purposes ... 10/

    The current US administration: “the most recent manifestation of a contradiction as old as the United States, a society founded by slaveholders on the principle that all men are created equal.”

    The era of “lock ‘em up and throw away the key” has left thousands of people forgotten behind bars, despite their remorse and rehabilitation. This must change. People like Mr. Simmons do not deserve this. Their families do not deserve this.

    I’m a lawyer, my wife’s a doctor. We got a $10k bill from the hospital she worked for because they said we didn’t get our newborn, born in that same hospital, signed up on health insurance fast enough. For the hospital stay. Where she was born. Took me months to fight that.

    The fake news doesn’t just stem from the uneducated... we have a misinformation crisis on our hands and professors are able to publish thoroughly debunked garbage. Sharing to hopefully help us stay informed - this whole thread is helpful.

    Breaking: MORE Act just passed House Judiciary! All Dems & 2 Reps voted for it. It would remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act and create a new office tasked w/ providing restorative justice 2 communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition. Big deal!

    Most “addiction treatment centers” don’t offer ANY of the three FDA-approved meds for opioid use disorder. Seriously. I’m not kidding. This is real.

    The President of the United States comparing an impeachment inquiry to a is not a “distraction.” It is a reflection of the very real trajectory of our nation and the very repugnant evil of racism, which still permeates both legislation and language in the United States.

    White-collar crimes are never prosecuted with the force and urgency of even a parking ticket. It's ridiculous and one of the many ways our system unfairly caters to the rich and powerful.

    I encourage LEO agencies to share data regarding calls they receive re: wellness checks and other non-emergency issues with the community. Residents are usually shocked at the level of dependence on LEOs - missing chances to leverage own resources to resolve own problems.

    What happened to Atatiana Jefferson is exactly why we cannot trust LEO agencies with the status quo. We can develop effective alternatives using our resources (hoarded in dominate culture institions), courageous creativity, and transfers of power.

    Law enforcement should not have "non-emergency" lines. These calls should go to unarmed, non-military community-based groups, allowing communities to resolve own non-emergency issues. LEOs balk at reducing their scope/size, but size should not matter when lives are being *lost*.

    99 years (!) for kicking a police officer. Not hurt. No medical attention. Man is 59 y/o. He’ll be parole eligible at 83. Think about this the next time you hear about a cop so much as pushing, punching, or kicking a civilian & not even being disciplined.
