A little good news!
UC Berkeley anthropology library sit-in yields partial victory after months sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Today we released the largest representative study on #homelessness in CA.

This groundbreaking independent research sheds light on causes, consequences & solutions to the crisis.

Here's what we found:🧵

Important study out of Indianapolis but relevant to SF suggesting that drug seizures INCREASE overdoses. Another reminder that law enforcement is not public health. cc Senator Scott Wiener Matt Haney London Breed Aaron Peskin Rafael Mandelman

We then compared the time/date/location of those drug seizures to the time/date/location of fatal overdoses (from death data) and non-fatal overdoses (from EMS data). Overdoses happen all the time, but if seizing drugs protects public health, we'd expect ODs to go down after. 3/

Hey folks, I am still recruiting participants for my dissertation research! An exciting update is that I’m expanding my research to the greater Los Angeles area & the San Francisco Bay Area. Please retweet and share to you colleagues, friends, and family 🙏🏼 ¡Mil gracias!

In this San Francisco Chronicle op-ed, my collaborators at National Harm Reduction Coalition and San Francisco AIDS Foundation and I criticize the effort to use the fentanyl overdose crisis to attack immigrants, which is not only harmful but counterproductive to real efforts to resolve this issue. bit.ly/40LqCYl

Ask your SF Supervisor to pass the Protect Trans Youth & Adults resolution: nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZxA4…

This is going to be fire. Everyone in health care should tune in. #abolitionmedicine

Today, San Francisco Mayor’s installed interim DA said their policy is “a war on fentanyl” and her installed Board of Supervisor said “it is a war on drug addicts.”

We need science, health, and compassion to drive drug policy.

20 years of safer use at #vancouverbc Insite. We are backwards in the US. We came close this year but Gavin Newsom vetoed SCS. London Breed we can’t wait any longer. #harmreduction

I am so grateful for the support of S S R C S S R C_just_tech in funding this research. Publications are pending. SIP hotels should never replace real housing, but they are a valuable alternative to congregate shelters and should be continued and expanded.

Gov. Newsom vetoed our legislation to authorize SF, Oakland & LA to implement safe consumption sites.

The veto is tragic & a huge lost opportunity. These sites are proven to save lives & connect people to treatment. Sad day for CA’s fight against overdose deaths.

My statement:

MK's new addiction is making videos for songs that don't have videos, purely based on Naomi's guidelines. 😂 Here's one for 'I'm Watching You (A Mutant Romance).' Check out Ep27 for why we chose these elements...Daryl Hall & John Oates The Muppets MTV #PrettyWoman

H&O never made an official video for NO BRAIN, NO PAIN so we took it upon ourselves to do so and based it on our convo in Ep 23. Enjoy! #RoeVsWade #SCOTUS #MentalHealthMatters #ABORTIONS #WonderTheWorldTour #BansOffOurBodies #podcast
