Jason Beltre, Director of Community Initiatives and Impact, expresses appreciation to Board and sadness. Says, "Being here means we aren’t in the OPC where we need to be. We aren’t in the field, responding to community requests, keeping communities clean."

Excellent editorial on several measures Congress could take to address America's addiction crisis, including making buprenorphine/Suboxone available without forcing doctors to jump through hoops.

5/ That means investing many more resources in all forms of care. Residential. Short-term inpatient. And before either of those, Community Based Care:

4b/ But done right, it's a good (sometimes the only) way to protect people who can't always necessarily protect themselves. It's on us to do it right.

4/ It's true that, done wrong, involuntary commitment is just another form of violence against the marginalized:

3b/ Wandering into oncoming traffic, or into dangerous neighborhoods or situations, being assaulted, having their medical needs completely neglected, etc. etc. etc. Most families who have loved ones w serious mental illness worry more abt loved one's safety than their own.

3/The second point is that violence and serious mental illness comes in two forms, not one. People love to debate how much more or less violent folks with schizophrenia (or bipolar mania) actually are. But what about the violence they are subjected to or at risk of on the street?

2b/ In CA, at least in the cmty where Laura's Law originated, the IOC statute itself is actually pretty toothless. But a smart compassionate judge working closely with case managers has helped a lot of ppl.

2/ Involuntary Outpatient Commitment takes many different forms in different states and communities. In NJ where my parents live it has been a crucial tool for bringing my father home from short term care after a manic episode - keeping him safe and nudging him toward stability.

1/ This is worth your time, especially if you are thinking about involuntary psychiatric commitment or the programs in NYC. I just want to point out two things:

I love the Times. I believe strongly in the importance of the work we do. And today I’m standing with more than 1,100 of my colleagues in the to make this vital institution better and stronger.

I walked out because I want the Times, in its treatment of its own employees, to live up to the principles that we regularly propound in our editorials.

Today we were ready to work for as long as it took to reach a fair deal, but management walked away from the table with five hours to go. It’s official: @NYTimesGuild members are walking out for 24 hours on Thursday. We know what we’re worth.

Meredith Kopit Levien, the CEO of the , was paid $5.8 million in 2021, up from $4.4 million in 2020. Meanwhile, management has offered employees a paltry raise (which, in light of inflation, amounts to a pay cut) and fought against a $65,000 minimum salary.

Support the New York Times workers in solidarity and steer clear of the NY Times during their strike. Even Wordle…😬

If the Times opposes giving large raises, then it's obtuse for it to refuse the Guild's call for cost of living adjustments to protect workers from inflation
Plus, it's a bad look for the NYT to push to cut its health & pension contributions when NYT profits & dividends are up

Of many dumb things tweeted by him this might be the most self-serving. Workers have the right to strike to demand better conditions. I support a fair contract for NYT guild (and all workers) and believe in unions to help achieve that. twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

I am joining more than 1,100 of my colleagues at the NYT on strike tomorrow.
Among national, business, and metro reporters, more than 90% of the desk is joining the strike.
None of us wanted it to come to this, but two years is too long to wait for a fair contract.

Word. I love my job so much and I love my colleagues, too. But I’m so disappointed and disheartened by the iniquity (and inequity) on display.

This is a sad day for @nytimes. This company pledged $150 million in stock buybacks this year, but it’s offering staff what amounts to a pay cut, during record inflation in the most expensive city in the world. I love the Times and wish it loved me back.

We’re asking readers to not engage in any platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

Addiction medicine can be hard not because of the work— that part is always rewarding because treatment works, harm reduction saves lives & people we partner with are spectacular, gritty, resilient humans— but because of the moral injury of discriminatory policies & systems 1/7

The Wapo is killing its Sunday Magazine, which was my home for 20 years. It carried some great journalism over the years, winning 2 Pulitzers. All staffers --talents all -- were just ... fired. The termination notice was as cold as the surface of Uranus. washingtonpost.com/media/2022/11/

2a/ Again, without their consent. This was at a time when they were being forced to secure consent in the U.S., So they were deliberately going south of border where they could do these particular experiments with impunity.

2/ In Guatemala, the US Govt went a full step further from what they did in Tuskegee - not only withholding treatment / cure, but also deliberately infecting: prisoners, sex-workers, asylum residents, orphans, soldiers, etc - to study penicillin prophylactic potential.

1/ It was not exactly a "sacrifice" so much as experimentation / abuse / gross violation of basic human and civil rights, to which they did not consent.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Tuskegee syphilis study. Tomorrow, I will be joined by colleagues & #PublicHealth leaders as we honor the 623 African American men, their suffering & sacrifice, and our commitment to ethical research and practice. twitter.com/CDCgov/status/…
