Post from JD Vance saying, "Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military"
To which Hashis Mteuzi, PMP replied, "The Sackler Family cartel killed 500,000 Americans and never saw a day in prison.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with them being white billionaires."

Even though this settlement deal represents nearly 2/3 of the Sackler's wealth, they will still be billionaires.

Too long, would rather read? Here's a link to the text of my remarks on Bill S-256, in which I tell the tale of the Great Post Office Espionage Scandal of 1844 - and express my misgivings about creating law that treats Indigenous communities differently than non-Indigenous ones. https://sencanada.ca/en/senators/simons-paula/interventions/653249/63#hID #SenateofCanada #CanadaPost #fentanyl #OpiodCrisis #Canada

Why is MSM not asking why #ElonMusk reportedly plans to commit $45 million per month to America #PAC to support #Trump – here are new details on America PAC donors and vendors.

Decriminalization failures show half measures are not enough to address drug use problems and the opioid crisis

#AllTheBeautyAndTheBloodshed, #LauraPoitras' documentary about #NanGoldin is remarkable on SO many levels. Not least in powerfully showing that, in the failure of politics and the legal, justice systems, #Art becomes the only place where political and corporate accountability resides. It makes the #SydneyTheatre #SydneyBiennale reactions to artist protests the pathetic responses they were. #Art #The70s #The80s #Misogyny #HIVAIDS #OpiodCrisis #Sackler #ArtVsPolitics https://youtu.be/YD5pYQiT1D4?si=luqOqwan0ir-gD9-

Last night on MSNBC, I saw LA Times journalist Keegan Hamilton, interviewed by Paola Ramos (subbing for Alicia Menendez), say it right out loud: China and Mexico don't have the massive substance addiction casualties that we find in the US: they also have universal, single payer health care.

If this isn't a #crisis I don't know what is. So far this year, there have been more than 8,500 emergency calls regarding #overdose poisoning across BC.
It's March."We saw 45 overdoses in one day," said Keith Stewart, assistant chief with the #Vancouver Fire Rescue Service.

A woman with A POSSIBLY DISLOCATED HIP has been waiting for 3.4 hours now for the ambulance.. (Ottawa area)
The EMS have been super busy today.. My scanner stream can't keep up.. Lots of ODs, people found unconscious.. ALS has been unavailable a lot recently.
We have to do better :(
https://youtube.com/live/WWYperUQHTk
Just want to clarify that this is NOT the fault of the overworked paramedics, doctors, nurses, and other health care workers..
This is the fault of the government and, by proxy, the people who voted for them.

“When the doctors switched off the life support machines, his mom climbed into bed beside him and I held my son’s hand as he passed away,” Puerta says. “This wasn’t an overdose because Daniel didn’t know what he was taking. He was intentionally deceived. He was poisoned.”

As someone who has needed an #ambulance recently — and been told the wait time was 45 minutes — this is AMAZING news for BC's Emergency Health Service employees.
And knowing how overworked and stressed workers have been during #COVID #heatdome and ongoing #OpiodCrisis this is a good first step in shoring up our province's fractured medical infrastructure.

I recommend watching the HBO documentary on the pharma role in the #opiodcrisis that has killed thousands, for an eye opener on the corporate culture and structures involved in legalised drug pushing. Puts the following thread in perspective

"The Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Thursday against AmerisourceBergen, one of the country’s largest pharmaceutical distributors, accusing the company of knowingly distributing opioids that were later resold illegally."

The team at STAT picked this NYT piece on the opiod crisis as one of the top stories of the year.
Surprising absolutely no one, McKinsey made a buck from it
'Opana’s manufacturer, the pharmaceutical company Endo, had scaled back promotion of the drug. But months later, the company abruptly changed course, refocusing resources on the drug by assigning more sales representatives.
The push was known internally as the Sales Force Blitz — and it was conducted with consultants at McKinsey & Company, who had been hired by Endo to provide marketing advice about its chronic-pain medicines and other products.'

A year on, how has Wu done on Mass. and Cass?

CW: Mentions drug use, addiction and death
(Via @jenstden)
One in three BC construction workers report problematic substance use.“Everybody is a tough guy. And they’re scared to not be a tough guy. They’re scared to be the one with the problem,” said Trevor Botkin, a carpenter who stopped using drugs in 2019. “Using the drugs is fine. But being addicted, that’s dirty.”
