wow sure hope using police drones to force poor people into drug testing so they can get that $100 a month to keep from starving solves all of San Francisco's problems. 🤞🤞🤞
This emerging political narrative that proven harm reduction interventions are not effective for people using fentanyl is a head scratcher. The data on harm reduction interventions is just as strong in the fentanyl era as it was before.
#SanFrancisco, if you actually care about homelessness and drug addiction--VOTE NO on Prop F! It is a terribly harmful measure that will absolutely increase homelessness while not providing ANY new treatment or services! NO on F! #Elections2024 #Vote2024
Cool job alert! Charm City Care Connection is hiring a Director of Services role to support their drop-in/outreach #harmreduction #overdose prevention work and laying the foundation for being the first #OPC in #Baltimore #Maryland: please share far & wide! idealist.org/en/nonprofit-j…
The Center for Law and Social Policy @CLASP_DC found states waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on drug testing for benefits. Screening methods are deeply flawed, inefficient, stigmatizing, waste more public resources than they recoup, and further harm those in economic need.

.@MKushel joined this incredible lineup to bust myths and share evidence-based ways to end homelessness. Key takeaway: Ending homelessness will require a commitment to spending resources on evidence-based solutions rather than policing people's behavior while homeless. Listen ⬇️

#SanFrancisco Prop F is a disastrous measure: advocates know that requiring drug testing for aid will make MORE people homeless. And it won't stop drug use or trafficking. Doesn't provide any new treatment. Voters need to reject this harmful, counter-productive measure. #Vote2024
Breed is so desperate to get the Republican votes she’s turned into a science denier. Ludicrous that Breed is still mayor.

If the criminal justice system was the answer to public health issues then we’d have the best public health in the world
Overdose prevention centers save lives. @NBC10Boston spoke to Brandon Marshall of @Brown_SPH about how these centers can prevent overdose deaths and also connect people to health care and addiction treatment resources. Watch the full interview.

Yup. You'd be hard pressed to find many experts in the field who think Prop F is a good idea.

We @sfdefender condemn law enforcement’s intimidation tactics of booking the Golden Gate Bridge protesters on unfounded felony conspiracy charges as a means to keep peaceful protesters detained for nearly 48 hours during a jail lockdown. 🧵
Very wrong. Concrete and narrow streets are much more effective than cops and cameras. Infrastructure will stop bad behavior before it ever happens, enforcement is only reactionary
Without enforcement, Vision Zero is impossible. It’s why I support speed and red light cameras alongside a fully staffed police department. We can end traffic deaths with common sense measures to bring sanity back to our streets.
It's the misogyny. Again. Five women dead, one man who tried to protect one of them. Nine more women & two men and a baby injured. The murderer's father: "He wanted a girlfriend and he's got no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain." .bbc.com/news/world-688…
The conservative parties are weaponizing our deaths, our loss, our grief, our struggles for votes. It doesn’t matter what you’re political beliefs, majority know that the “recovery industry” is a grift, that treatment centres are a problem and “addiction medicine” doesn’t cut it
I finally got prescribed opioids for chronic pain and it’s been life changing. And the hoops I had to go through were ridiculous
The bias against people who use opioids is so strong, even when the opioids are prescribed... - harming patients with chronic pain - harming patients with substance use disorders - harming patients with both - harming HCW connections with patients
What I imagine the Bible some of y’all read is like: “The generous are themselves enablers for they share their food with the poor without first requiring a drug-free urine screening.”
This is our sloth friend who lives above where we’re staying in Costa Rica. He sleeps curled up in a ball most of the time. But here he’s very hungry!
At 100k+ overdose deaths/yr, it’s time for a Harm Reduction Czar. As I reflect on the pain/death it took to create the 1st AIDS Czar in 1993, my decades in HIV/AIDS, and now operating the 1st recognized US OPCs, a WH office to guide @POTUS harm reduction strategy is critical.
“Everybody is impacted. Everybody's hurting”: Grief, loss and the emotional impacts of overdose on harm reduction workers" by @GillianKolla et al (2024) via @ijdrugpolicy...how is your community dealing with grief in regards to the overdose crisis? LInk: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
I just wrote a long, semi-coherent review of Whiteout on goodreads. in sum: 1) We've needed this book for a long time. 2) I thought there was little-to-no room left to blow my mind with drug policy insights. Wrong. 3) @jnetherland made me cry. Rude. 100/10 goodreads.com/review/show/64…
This is a good time to remind folks that drug seizures by police are associated with *higher* overdose deaths. It's the opposite of what we are told by authorities after each bust. drugdatadecoded.ca/where-opioid-b…
As President Biden gives his #StateOfTheUnion we remember the lives of the 110,000+ Americans who died of overdose in the last year. Those deaths are tragedies & policy failures. We need more support for harm reduction, recovery & evidence based treatment, not more incarceration
@RyanMarino @sf_mills I doubt politicians care whether this will work. They’re after perception: they want voters to think they’re doing “something,” and benefit-eligible poor people to see SF as a hostile place. As usual, taxpayers will pay the bill and poor people will pay the price.
There is also no association between receiving benefits, or being in a position to qualify for benefits, and using drugs. These are all easily answered questions! It has literally even been settled in very high level courts!
The gap in the judge’s races got wider favoring the incumbents. Two of Breed’s ballot measures are going to get thrown out by the courts. I’m not so sure about “massive victory”. Significant wins, perhaps. The DCCC has always been trash. Now it’s just worse.
The massive electoral victory that just happened in SF was a huge step forward in the return to rationality for our city. It has made me optimistic once again. Yet we have a huge amount of hard work to do, and it is not going to be easy.
Because of an intentional (well-funded by right wing billionaires) propaganda campaign against San Francisco’s poorest citizens, voters fell for something that has already been tried many times and only ever failed in every way possible - every time - at great cost to taxpayers.
Not only are drug screens terrible tests & these policies have repeatedly been found unconstitutional, but they don’t work & lose tons of money. Arizona did this and spent $2M on testing to save $600. Florida, too, spent more money than just providing the benefits would have cost
Having an emotional moment cause I just got home from my job, the sun’s out, and everything just feels so ‘normal’ for a minute. I haven’t had this experience in years.
People don’t understand that the unregulated drug supply is what is responsible for all the overdose deaths. They wrongly point to harm reduction and drug decriminalization as the scapegoats. OD deaths rates are high in states without drug decrim and harm redux.
