FYI - I am on the other blue app at the same handle and will try and post more. But I will not be leaving Twitter. For over 14 years, I shared thoughts, musings, and extensive threads that I've been told have impacted many. I don't want to lose them. They'll be here.

Devastating. Infuriating. Murderous. These cruel funding cuts will destroy grassroots and treatment programs that are providing vital life-saving services to people who use drugs and those with addictions. npr.org/2026/01/14/nx-…

The researchers found that 87% of people who inject drugs in Baltimore would support programs providing access to regulated drugs, in order to protect participants from the adulterated street supply. Read my latest for @Filtermag_org 🔽 filtermag.org/baltimore-drug…
Filter | harm reduction journalism@Filtermag_org

Researchers surveyed 300 people who inject drugs in Baltimore, and found overwhelming support for the introduction of safe supply (highest among most vulnerable demographics) plus specific preferences for how it should operate. @LoganHullinger reports: filtermag.org/baltimore-drug…

the most under-appreciated local government success over the past three years? it’s actually Baltimore imo -murders down 60% -major pro-housing reforms including ending parking mandates, legalizing single-stair buildings, and permitting denser housing
Brandon M. Scott@MayorBMScott

Today, I signed a package of bills to make housing in Baltimore more abundant and affordable. These bills will help folks buy a home and grow wealth, counter decades of disinvestment, and make sure both long-time and new residents feel the benefits of Baltimore's Renaissance.

Police contact of any kind is not innocuous: most police killings start with officers responding to a suspected non-violent situation or a case where no crime has been reported.

🚨NEW: Pres. Trump's 'big beautiful bill' will have devastating consequences for rural hospitals, leaving communities more vulnerable And for almost half of all incarcerated people, this means critical, lifesaving care will be even further out of reach 🧵

ICYMI: Compassionate care for drug users is seldom mentioned in local media coverage, and readers will rarely see the words "harm reduction" in a headline. Learn how to support journalism that is working to change that. 🔽 mobtownredux.news/harm-reduction…
Logan Hullinger@LoganHullinger

Harm reduction journalism is more important than ever as the media and city officials disregard the livelihoods of those who use drugs. Read how to support my work in this week's Redux Newsletter ⬇️ mobtownredux.news/harm-reduction…

Poor people in the United States are a primary target for policing, especially those forced to live on the streets. Data shows that more than 40% of unhoused people booked into jail were booked again within the year.
