My Opa went to a nazi concentration camp for hiding Jewish people in his home.

I really miss him, but am glad he isn’t seeing Nazism rise again.

You must be totally depraved of love and empathy to have these takes and we need to call them out for exactly what they are; Evil.

Being an activist w/ unhoused folks has taught me a lot.

One of the most clear things is that we don’t really have much human rights, as those without capital are stripped of most of them.

Rights are actually privileges when they are only for people with money.

Just watched my friend almost die from contaminated drugs. 6 narcans and cpr barely brought him back.

End the drug war, we need a regulated supply.

If you don’t like seeing homelessness, remember it’s a reflection of capitalisms failures.

That’s where your anger should lie.

Also shift the savings our systems would have with overdose trips to and stays in the hospital decreasing.

Shift funding that currently is being spent on the drug war into solutions.

Prescriptions could cost money- rated at a slightly lower price than street price.

A very cheap way would also be to legalize compassion clubs, like DULFs

Provide a safe supply of drugs (could be regulation, prescription, different communes will need to do this differently).

To treat addiction as a health problem instead of a criminal one.

Ramp up harm reduction efforts. Have treatment/detox not have waitlists and be regulated.

And more.

Canada and the US are continuing to ramp up the war on drugs.

The drug war is the reason the vast majority of people experiencing addiction (or just using drugs recreationally) die.

The drugs are poisoned.

“To actually end the ongoing toxic drug crisis, Rufus-Sedgemore said, the government needs to bring back decriminalization, introduce a regulated safer supply that is more accessible and actually separates people from the unregulated supply, and create comprehensive drug education for kids.”

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders? A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Proud of what we did in court this week.

We need decriminalization and prescribed alternatives.

The point of the cruelty is to make empathetic people overwhelmed and hopeless.

Choose radical love in action instead.
