Nan Goldin kämpft mit Kunst und Protest gegen die Sacklers – jene Pharma-Familie, die mit dem Schmerzmittel OxyContin die verheerende Opioid-Krise in den USA mitverursachte. Die Fotografin war selbst nach einem Unfall abhängig geworden. Laura Poitras preisgekrönter Dokumentarfilm zeigt, wie persönlicher Schmerz zu erfolgreichem politischem Widerstand werden kann.

So, I just finished reading DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. It was utterly unputdownable, I got mad at my family for speaking to me while I was reading it, and when I read the final sentence and closed the book all I could say was "DAMN."

Highly recommend, y'all. HIGHEST OF HIGHLY.

The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.

Judge says he'll approve deal with Purdue Pharma, Sackler family members

A federal bankruptcy court judge on Friday said he will approve OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma’s latest deal to settle thousands of lawsuits over the toll of opioids that includes some money for thousands of victims of the epidemic. The deal overseen by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane would require members of the Sackler family who own the company to contribute up to $7 billion and give up ownership. The new agreement replaces one the U.S. Supreme Court rejected last year, finding it would have improperly protected members of the family against future lawsuits. The judge said he would explain his decision in a hearing on Tuesday.
