Guy next to me at the salon is getting a haircut for a first date. So sweet to hear his excitement and that he has the whole night planned out. Godspeed, young man!

2 people OD & die in SF every day. addiction is the most important health issue. ignores it. 12/100 of their tweets even mention drugs. 0 encourage recovery/give info on where to detox. this is the best they can do w/$2billion?

how do I know? "safe injection sites" flopped, so is advertising them as "overdose prevention sites" or "wellness hubs." pure marketing fluff. ODs aren't prevented - at best they're reversed. and people don't get healthy in them.

"harm reduction" has such a bad reputation that the zealots will be rebranding it. what will it be called?

the giddy conversation between Eileen Loughran of , Paul Harkin of & Vitca Eisen of . proper recovery care for people suffering w/addiction? no. they want parking lots for addicts to use. they're deranged. remember their names.

Nothing like having your PUBLIC HEALTH department @SF_DPH talk about "sleuthing" with @HealthRIGHT360 for spots to open a drug use spot.

QUESTION: if SF's citizens who voluntarily help people suffering on the streets are twitter famous, should city/nonprofit employees who are paid to help but aren't be as well known?

we have so many amazing heroes & heroines in San Francisco. from privilege & prison, they're not just helping people on the street, they're fighting the power. they're winning the hearts & souls of the people. they are a threat to the system.

I do not believe it is too dramatic to say that today's governments, journalists, and community leaders are turning a blind eye to the horrors unfolding on our streets.

what makes an activist? Harry Klein, a Hungarian Jew, was my grandfather. family line (and 400K others) murdered at end of WWII. historians now wonder if "governments, journalists, and community leaders should have done more to publicize and disrupt it."

thank you for your poll. together we averaged about 900 responses. now we're looking at specific politicians and "leaders"who are pushing for them AGAINST the will of the people. I will name names.

should politicians & city depts follow the will/desire of citizens? 89%-93% of people reject drug use sites in their communities.

so when you hear/read anything from these people, ask yourself why. what's in it for them? and girl, it's the money - almost every time. could be funding, could be a job. but its always the money. they sell your loved ones down the line. we see you, .

corruption example of the day: radical harm reductionists downplay the horror of fatal drug overdoses (650 in SF alone in 2022). many are on the take. is on the board of Filter Magazine, which promotes drug use and it's funded by BIG TOBACCO.

drug use sites are profoundly classist. the wealthy can afford recovery to escape the slavery of addiction. The poor get places to maintain the bonds of addiction. these sites are promoted by people who claim to be progressives.

thank you all! I have many of these scandals already in the piece & will add more. the story is about what makes SF globally fascinating. the EIC of a London-based media outlet told me, "we have an insatiable hunger for San Francisco." not all cities are like this.
