All the lies and scare tactics behind the GOP campaign to recall SF DA @chesaboudin can be dizzying.
I mean, the forest here is obvi a desperate plea for more failed, racist incarceration. But it's worth seeing that the trees are rotten.
So here's a THREAD w/ some FACTS:

If you agree that the, now 1000 per year/1 in 25 drug user deaths per year/literal mile of corpses, aren't a valid measure of crime because the party has reclassified the criminal causes of these deaths as not crimes, then sure, go right ahead, consent to a massacre.https://twitter.com/stuz5000/status/1404872498181672962 …

SF Footgun @stuz5000The real Bay Area unicorn.@GeorgeGascon's SF legacy-drastically cut dealing prosecution in his tenure. [2015] Prop 47: personal drug possession felony→misdemeanor. [2020-2021]@chesaboudin hasn't prosecuted one felony drug case. 720 dead in 2020#FentanyMassacre#SFFoorgun pic.twitter.com/rzkxxG4YI1Show this thread1 reply 2 retweets 3 likes -
If you think the GOP alone is supporting the recall, your next question should be, "why has the GOP left the Democrats in the dust on issues of moral governance?" I'm not Republican, but SF leadership is banging a national party drum. Local people are suffering as a result.

Putting addicts in cages isn’t moral, you absolute ghoul.

I don't think addicts should be jailed. But the evidence is that the removal of disincentives killed a lot of people. Can we at least agree on jailing dealers, or does this continued massacre have your consent?

The evidence does not show that. Prop 47 was statewide and specific to California—if it worked the way you say, you wouldn’t expect California to be among the only states with a **drop** in overdose rates in the years following its passage.pic.twitter.com/r1feWLZ1HO

Sure - I don't disagree that the response to prop 47 was different in other cities. It doesn't change the fact that things went sideways in SF because of prop47. Other cities continued to prosecute non-misdemeanor dealing.

Do you have any, ya know, evidence that the spike was “because of” prop 47? Seems like bare correlation with a bunch of evidence suggestion it is not in fact because of prop 47…

SF doesn't study it's failures. But do you have any evidence that the removal of dealing disincentives did not cause the increase of death, even though the evidence is that death increased when disincentives for dealing were removed?

That’s not quite true. Housing the addicted, depressed, mentally ill and with PTSD in an environment surrounded by drug dealers was studied. 19x higher OD mortality vs other housed SF residents. Something something housing first.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31581024/

If causal studies are your bag, baby, it doesn’t get better than phase III, RCT studies. 40% remained abstinent after treatment which required only once-monthly injections. Amazing! But incentivizing treatment is not on the agenda in SF. Continue to consent to the massacre.https://twitter.com/stuz5000/status/1385989526854586368 …

SF Footgun @stuz5000Replying to @JenniferBrokaw @MattHaneySF and 2 othersProvide and incentivize treatment. Once monthly buprenorphine. Limits highs, overdoses, cravings, withdrawals. Start with cheap, easy outpatient treatments that scale to the problem. Treatment is harm reduction AND addiction reduction. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)32259-1/fulltext …0 replies 1 retweet 1 likeThanks.
