In 2021, opioids and stimulants made up at least 89% of U.S. overdose deaths. From 1999-2021, overdoses due to fentanyl and meth significantly increased, suggesting prevention should focus on these drugs. #OverdoseCrisis #PublicHealth

11 years ago, my son Danny died. He was one of the early victims of the toxic drug crisis, one of over 50,000.
This video, showing Danny as a young chef, gives you a glimpse into what we have lost.
Keep fighting for #harmreduction. It would have saved him.

Supervised Consumption Sites are not just harm reduction theory — they’re harm reduction evidence. The spatial signal is strong and growing.

🚨🚨 How The Elite Behave When No One is Watching

The dark heart of this Trump-Epstein story 💀

#Greed #Lies #Abuse
#FinancialMeltdowns
#Addiction #OverdoseCrisis
#Monopolies #HousingCrisis
#RecklessTechnologyAdoption
At the dark heart of this story is a sex criminal and his victims — and his enmeshment with President Trump. But it is also a tale about a powerful social network in which some, depending on what they knew, were perhaps able to look away because they had learned to look away from so much other abuse and suffering: the financial meltdowns some in the network helped trigger, the misbegotten wars some in the network pushed, the overdose crisis some of them enabled, the monopolies they defended, the inequality they turbocharged, the housing crisis they milked, the technologies they failed to protect people against.

Thousands of New Yorkers continue to die each year from preventable overdose.

While recent data show improvement in some areas, progress remains unequal.

As a former person who struggled with homelessness, mental health, addiction and turned his life around I am disgusted by the level of cruelty towards vulnerable people.

The resources that are needed are HOUSING, not LETHAL INJECTIONS 🤬🤬🤬.
