On the #Pharma #sackler #opiod case:

Edward Neiger, who represents thousands of victims who stood to benefit from the #PurduePharma bankruptcy settlement that the #SCOTUS blocked, called the decision β€œa major setback for the families who lost loves ones to overdose and for those still struggling with addiction.” In a statement, he said that β€œvictims have been abandoned by every branch of the government.”

#Dougie doesn't want safe use sites to continue, especially if they're federally funded because what if they proove true that safe use sites reduce #opiod related deaths? Can't have that now. Opiod dependency is a moral weakness and we need to weed those people out of society. :(

Seriously *fuck* this provincial government.

No sorry, misunderstanding - she's been active exposing the Sackler's role in the #opiod crisis in the USA & elsewhere and pressurising cultural institutions to stop taking this tainted money in sponsorship.... so it was more a case of saying that her long campaign has & will inspire others looking at how tainted money is 'washed' via sponsorship deals.....

My wife and I recently attended training on the use of #narcan and #naloxone. We're fortunate that #minnesota has legal protections for everyday people to help people who might be suffering from an overdose.

The #opiod and especially #fentanyl crisis can affect people in every walk of life, and the more people who are prepared to help, the more people who can live to recover.

#Wisconsin is one of the top 3 states for Medical claims for #Opiod dependence.
So while we go after every little petty dealer the sacklers who purposely pushed OxyContin are still billionaires living free and happy
