Hey, so as a lot of people are making the leap over here, lots of new followers.

Seriously this place is like Twitter when I first joined it in 2009 or so.

Great thread.
Know why oxycontin abuse set off a new wave of horrific opioid addiction?
Because when the legal but abused supply was interdicted, addicts couldn't just stop. The market provided, and it was cheap Mexican heroin that started off filling the void. But then, why be tied to a plant?

And, just a side note, but disrupting the supply chain for addictive drugs does nothing to decrease demand. Addicts have run individual experiments on this countless times, trying to get sober by limiting their own access to their favorite drug. Ask a sober person if that worked for them.
The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Stan Rogers became one of the most beloved Canadian musicians of the late-20th century.
His songs told the story of Canada, its culture, its people and its history.
Rogers was taken far too soon but his legacy endures.
This is his story.

Look at the last paragraph. They have defended their action of not getting Congress involved by saying something like, no troops are at risk. Well, which is it?

If we ever get real accountability for the crimes committed by the Trump administration, we'll end up hearing so many disingenuous invocations of the "just following orders" defense.
