For years, the opioid epidemic outpaced treatment access. Suboxone could've helped, easing withdrawal, quelling cravings, preventing relapse. Today, even with generics, only 1 in 4 adults get it.

No Bond villain was ever as villainous.
Today's US EO orders the Attorney General to identify + take expeditious action to stop enforcement of "all State & local laws... purporting to address “climate change” or involving “environmental, social, and governance” initiatives, “environmental justice,” carbon or “greenhouse gas” emissions."
This executive order confirms that. They are attacking all "state laws" that address climate change, ESG, environmental justice and/or greenhouse gases.

Destroying the universities is a key fascist objective. Both because they believe these must be neutralised to control the country, and because that's what their Lord and Master, Putin, wants them to do: America, stupid, poorer and alone.

People might think that whatever destruction is done to science in the US, we can undo in 4 years with a Democratic president and Congress.
The problem is that many areas require specialized knowledge and skills built up over years, and once that's lost, it's hard to get back.

One of the best examples of a mature, temperate forest garden is under threat - please sign the Agroforestry Research Trust's petition to try and save it.
The Dartington Forest Garden is threatened with destruction by landlords the Dartington Trust. It took >30 years to grow, and is a wonderful example of a radically different approach to food & fibre production. Please sign the petition, and share.
