One good reason to care about stigma against people who use drugs is cause it can be weaponized against you and the people you care about, too
Wild stuff; the Trump admin appears to be getting ready to claim that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, shot and killed by ICE on his way to work, had multiple baggies of meth just sitting in plain view on the DASHBOARD for anyone to see.

I want to get ahead of this speech tomorrow. You are going to hear a lot of cries of the sky falling. Remember: the President of the United States does not control elections. States and localities do, and even if you say "he has the military," there aren't enough in the 48 states to make a dent.

One weird trick to end Trump's illegal war with Iran:
A prohibition on funding any further hostilities. (It is what ended Nixon's bombing of Cambodia in 1973.)
Guess who the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee is:
Susan Collins.
