I only hope that your second wish won’t happen through something history calls the second Nuremberg trials.

It’s so weird. My satisfaction with seeing Trump snubbed is at odds with my grief at seeing my country’s horrific fall from grace.

And forgetting, likewise, is For Getting.

If we do not remember and learn, we get the lesson again.

forgiveness is For Giving. We forgive so we can continue to give to the world.

There’s no fruitful conversation with the Republicans and Trump.

Every disillusioned maga citizen is an opportunity, maybe an exponential one, they will be able to persuade (wake up) their former comrades fairly easily.

FAFO & gloating disheartens me. I didn’t see you do that - i’m just sensitive

I wish that were completely true.

Are the farmers and walmart cashiers and small business owners who have been caught in the shitslide of MAGA propaganda our opponents?

When prohibition ended, methanol abuse became rare. Were the war on drugs to end, fentanyl abuse would probably not evaporate in the same way.

Well, both wood alcohol & fentanyl were available before they started killing addicts, but prohibition methanol was a 1:1 substitute for ETOH while fentanyl is 100:1 potency swap over morphine.

The potency differential implies multiple motivations for its use beyond scarcity (prohibition)

My brother, I see you. Thank you for the good work you have done.

Thank you for seeing me too.

I was responding to the original supposition that the war on drugs created the addiction problem.

I spent 25 years working directly with addicts, listening carefully, and helping many into recovery. I also wrote curriculum about addiction and the mechanisms of addiction.

Many American responses to addiction exacerbate the suffering. Ironically, many of my clients came to fentanyl as they tried to break through the opiate muting of injectable buprenorphine.

Fentanyl use, say, during hospice is not a problem. The American “fentanyl problem” IS an American addiction problem.

maybe a teeny tiny clue…
Ancestrial trauma is many things such as hx of addiction, family dysfunction…
personal trauma can be psychological, spiritual or physical (physical injury leading to unwise opiate exposure especially during the perdue pharma era)
