“Replacing one addiction with another” is a falsehood itself. But stories like this make me the most mad about people choosing to restrict lifesaving - and life changing - medicines just because they believe drug war propaganda lies or simply hate drug users and want them to die.

Millions who would benefit from take-home (liquid) methadone are denied that lifesaving option bc of myths and misinformation. Because hundreds of thousands take “liquid methadone” home every weekend with no adverse effect to anyone. The media pushing this story should be ashamed

Guns are the #1 killer of kids in America.

Not cancer. Not car crashes. Not drugs.

GUNS.

And what is the GOP doing about it? Absolutely nothing. washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08…

I've said it before, I'll say it again. DOJ goes after politicians ALL. THE. TIME. All the kvelling that Trump is the first former President to be be indicted has always been misplaced. Don't do the crime, if you can't serve the time 🙃

We refuse to support any arbitrary cut-off date for abortion because we believe the government, church, politicians, and you don’t get a say in personal decisions between a woman and her doctor. You control your uterus and I’ll control mine. See how nicely that works?

Which begs the question, where can one find “stepping stone” rent and food? Stepping stone childcare? Stepping stone car payments?

Monday will mark 60 yrs since the March on Washington. It's disturbing that we are witnessing daily attempts to erode our hard-won civil rights. We must NOT move backward -- we MUST keep up the fight for equality! abcnews.go.com/US/60th-annive…

Months after passing permitless carry - a deadly law that makes it easy for criminals to get guns - the Florida legislature is making taxpayers pay $61.6 million to put bulletproof windows in their workplace.

Gun safety for me but not for thee. orlandosentinel.com/2023/08/24/flo…

And yet….

Elections must be decided by the will of the people. As MAGA Republicans continue to attack freedom to vote across the country, including with voter roadblocks and local board of election takeovers, we must take action to protect our democratic process.

Today Althea Gibson would have turned 96.

When I was 13, she showed me what World No. 1 looked like, & doing the same became my goal.

She broke the color barrier in tennis as the 1st Black person to win a major.

Let's continue to honor her memory always.

That’s a big “even if” in a state that hasn’t expanded Medicaid.

Oh my god, this is huge news.

A state level judge just blocked Texas gender affirming care ban!

Trans Texans can continue to get care!

General Milley: Ukrainian Armed Forces have crossed the main first line of defense of the Russians

According to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Milley, the Ukrainian offensive is 'slow' but not a failure.

'They have crossed the main first line of defense.…

I am thrilled for my colleague Dr Martha Kenney and her new NIH grant!

Really tough to read this thread.

Kenny's not wrong. Trump won a fluke election in 2016 due to a perfect storm of circumstances. Every national election since then has been a disaster for the GOP and yet he's still treated like some nine-dimensional chess playing political savant.
