Trump is shifting into Duterte mode — an autocrat he has admired for years. He killed up to 30,000 Filipinos during his term and they’re still flush with drugs.
Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."

“We have this whole false idea that most addiction is about seeking excess pleasure but in fact most addiction is about trying to be okay,” @maiasz.bsky.social said. “If we want to have less addiction & less harm associated with it, we have to improve people's lives.”

Addiction treatment often overlooks trauma. That's a major hurdle in stopping the overdose crisis
Trauma is one of the biggest risk factors for addiction — but trauma-centered treatments are lacking
