A new synthetic opioid has been detected in New York State. N-propionitrile brorphine is estimated to be more potent that fentanyl. Harm reduction strategies, including drug checking, save lives. Additional information about drug user health alerts: on.ny.gov/4fqGtpi

Climate disasters create life-threatening disruptions for people on methadone
The U.S.’s reliance on methadone clinics is not just an inconvenience — it is anathema to a world grappling with escalating climate disasters.

WOW: The ADL was once a great organization that countered all hate. I cited their work in articles in the past. That ADL is sadly gone and in it's place is another version of AIPAC that now celebrates the MAGA agenda as detailed here: www.commondreams.org/opinion/cut-...

​While the ADL attacks and smears Palestinians and supporters of Palestinian justice, it gives cover to and helps legitimize (often antisemitic) right-wing politicians and others who back Israel.

The real pill is on the right. The fake looks really good, though. It has clean indents and a smooth surface. It’s too bright, and there’s a subtle difference in the letter shape. The fake is quite pure - almost entirely methamphetamine. The point being: fake pills look really convincing.

Overdose deaths in the U.S. dropped 27% in 2024, thanks to expanded access to health & prevention strategies, & diplomatic coordination. Declines began in 2023 under Biden, & have continued. But the current administration’s focus on enforcement over care puts progress at risk. Let's dive in... 🧵

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

A 21-year-old Moroccan woman was beaten by her family when they found out she was a lesbian. She sought asylum in the US & Trump tried to deport her to Cameroon, where homosexuality is illegal. Sometimes we get distracted by how incompetent our country has gotten, we forget how evil it has gotten.
