I showed up to court with a letter from my doctor, my prescription, and my medication. Bravely—naively—I asked to be taken into custody, thinking jail would save me. I was wrong. @MarshallProj .

TRUMP IS COMING FOR YOUR GUNS. “According to the White House… 59 firearms have been seized since the start of the operation Aug. 7…”

Everyone wants to talk about the cost of doing business in America. But no one is mentioning that anything “Made in the USA” didn’t just pay to make the item, but also for the *healthcare costs* of workers’ entire families. We will never be able to compete.

“Mother of Methadone” book talk this Thursday in Culver City. I’m a panelist and finishing the book and loving it, it’s going to be a great talk. Learn how history shaped policy, and why we are so dysfunctional, hear me rant, and more! . 7/24 at 7pm

That Walmart is woke has to be the funniest drivel I’ve read in a while.

The Airbnb I stayed at in Lisbon during the heat wave had a small portable unit. It was TRASH. 1 fan for whole house. Did not work to cool. I moved to a hotel. I’ve used a portable at home for 3 years now, w/ higher BTUs and a network of fans to distribute the air. It works.

We knew cops could lie. But did you know ICE agents can lie and say they’re city cops, there to investigate the crime you reported? . How naive of me to be shocked at the depravity, but damn. This is low.

Come here me, a methadone patient, rant as a panelist this Thursday in Culver City!

Los Angeles people:. Come see me speaking at a book talk with the indomitable @MaxJordan_N and “Mother of Methadone” author and physician @MGlennEm. Thursday July 24 at Village Well books in Culver City! . I’m on methadone, it’s gonna be a good chat.

Harm reduction works!. A “bad batch” of what I infer to have been sold as fentanyl caused 27 overdoses in Baltimore, ZERO DEATHS. Everyone was reversed with naloxone. Thanks to the tireless work of activists to liberate naloxone, tragedy was avoided.

The fascist dictatorship that ruled Portugal until 1974 had a favorite tactic: deporting people to places they’d never been, chosen because they were so hostile and disease-ridden they’d never return. The tried and true tactics of tyrants, from Tarrafal to Florida.

Happy 4th from a Portuguese dictatorship museum! Salazar’s entire regime turned on these 5 rhetorical “certainties”:. - the glory of god.- the country’s greatness and history .- the moral superiority of the nuclear family .- law and order.- the dignity of hard work. Familiar?.

“The effect is to tell Americans not to take any of this too seriously. Families are being ripped apart, but it’s all for the lulz. We are dancing on the edges of constitutionality, but it’s making great television.” . biting words by @MonicaHesse

Me and ICE detainees were on the same ConAir flight, in the same shackles, sleeping on the same holding cell floors. They had committed no crime. In Pahrump at the private prison, BOP and ICE detainees get held at same facility. A prison is a prison.

Presenting on data that shows an average fentanyl user uses the equivalent of 9,600+ milligrams of IV morphine per day at #cpdd25 in New Orleans!

Change some names and agencies, do a thought experiment:.

“Filipino families flee Northern Irish home after night of anti-immigrant violence… Hundreds of masked rioters attacked police and set homes and cars…” What was that about the UK/Europe not rioting? Clowns.

RT @dieworkwear: why aren't americans filling those jobs?.

RT @billybinion: I am so tired of politicians/pundits/right-wing media breathlessly recycling this dumb talking point. The First Amendment….
