🧵In 2021 Oregon became the first state to decriminalize drugs. It recriminalized last week, after three years. There were many reasons; one was because overdoses rose sharply. Our new study finds, critically, this was *not* a result of decriminalization. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

This is a for-real genuine problem: leading media reporting a version of events you wouldn't recognize if you saw or listened to it yourself. (I listened to this speech. In a million years would not have written this summary.) Please, someone from the NYT, actually engage with

Here's what we are reading today: A video from CNN shows an apparent execution by Russian troops of Ukrainian surrendered soldiers. Ukraine is investigating 28 executions of Ukrainian POWs, in which 62 soldiers have died.

The NY Times describing Russian secret police as a 'muscular, authoritarian version of the FBI' is outrageous and not factual. The FSB terrorizes the Russian people. The FBI is a vital closely regulated law enforcement agency. nytimes.com/2024/09/06/wor…

The horrific behavior of this network of alleged rapists and the fact that no one raised alarms or called police points to how vulnerable women are, not from strangers but from men in their families and communities. We desperately need to make women safer. nytimes.com/2024/09/05/wor…
