    Matt’s mom used to be a social worker and play Tchaikovsky on the piano. Then she got hooked on opioids. http://bit.ly/2tRndvI pic.twitter.com/xQh9jmWt6p

        Must be a severe backlog of black family drug stories that no one got around to telling. Find them.

        Drugs are hitting white people hard in Ohio. Trump promised help. But his budget cuts aid to the ones who need it most - his voters.

        Sad & not surprising. Social work is a rough gig. Ingesting pain like a sin eater. Makes you sick. Society sucked too much! Rewrite time!
