@StefanKertesz This. Evidence doesn’t trend as well as outrage. But continuity, trust, and care designed with people works and your JAMA study shows it. We keep confusing control with solutions.

If I post “homeless people need forced treatment” or “Housing First sucks” I can get social media traction
If I spend 5 friggin’ years developing with real evidence on how to deliver effective care, crickets! 🦗
There are *answers* to hard questions, just not in your X feed

Important piece and glad Helen is shining light on the corruption and harm baked into the sober home industry. The problem is the profit model, not care itself.

filtermag.org/shuffle-sober-… Sober homes create an ecosystem of extraction that profits off of vulnerable human beings and if some of them die, that’s just the cost of doing business #stoptheshuffle #abolishsoberhomes @shoeshine

@HRInews Harm reduction means staying alive long enough for change to be possible.
It means dignity instead of punishment, support instead of shame, and meeting people where they are, not where we wish they were. For families like mine, it means fewer funerals and more chances.🙏🏼

💥From encouraging positive changes in people’s lives and avoiding stigma, to reducing the harms of current drug laws and committing to social justice, harm reduction has deep meanings for everyone. What does it mean to you? Tell us in the comments.

New national polling reveals what families across America already know: Mental health care should be easy to access and easy to afford.
91% of voters (90% of Republicans and 92% of Democrats) support requiring health insurance companies to cover mental health services when prescribed by a doctor. It’s just common sense.
The message is clear: Americans want leaders who will finally fix our broken mental health care system.

Powerful op-ed by my friend Susan Ousterman.@Suze0408
Calling fentanyl a “weapon of mass destruction” may sound tough, but it risks pushing us further from the public-health responses that actually save lives.
This piece cuts through fear with clarity and compassion.
Filter | harm reduction journalism@Filtermag_org
"My son was not an enemy combatant, nor a victim of war waged by foreign adversaries," writes @Suze0408. "When fentanyl is framed as a weapon of war, the policy response shifts toward fear, instead of interventions that keep people alive." filtermag.org/fentanyl-weapo…

CSA scheduling ≠ real world harm.
A U.S. expert consensus found fentanyl, meth, crack, and heroin cause the most harm while legality and scheduling were poor predictors. Withdrawal and disrupted care drive risk. Evidence based harm reduction saves lives.

When the alcohol supply was unregulated and poisoned there weren't addiction doctors selling alcoholtrexone and buprenalcohol.
The drug policy shields addiction drugs while making competitor drugs dangerous through lack of quality controls.
This man profits from the dead.

Drug policy that erases nuance always ends up punishing the wrong people. This piece is a good reminder that plants, people, and survival don’t fit into simplistic narratives.

Military solutions won’t fix a public health crisis. We’ve spent decades trying to fight drugs instead of treating people. What saves lives isn’t war, it’s evidence based care, harm reduction, and families who never stop showing up🙏🏼

@rufusgoeldner The data actually shows the opposite, family contact is one of the strongest predictors of lower recidivism and safer reentry. It’s not about rewarding crime; it’s about making sure people don’t return to it. Connection keeps families stable and communities safer.

@MomsAllPaths How many incarcerated people continue their criminal enterprise in the outside while locked up? You’re advocating for tax payers to pay for criminals to continue their unlawful enterprise while incarcerated…to which money is placed in their inmate account. No thanks

The FCC is backing off plans to make prison & jail calls affordable, now proposing higher rate caps and a new $0.02 facility fee. Families already struggling to stay connected will pay the price. Vote set for Oct 28💔

@rufusgoeldner I get it, families go through a lot. 💔 But affordable calls aren’t about avoiding consequences; they’re about breaking cycles. Staying connected helps people rebuild, reduces recidivism, and strengthens families. Connection is rehabilitation❤️
English
@MomsAllPaths Many states require the trust accounts (a percentage) to go towards rehab programs. End of the day, they should be putting in skin, after all, it’s their crime, not the tax payer’s. It’s called consequences so…had a family member that out us through the wringer for 20 years.
