I think leftblr is a little too quiet about sensible drug policy and that’s really telling 🤔
Access to clean needles should be free
Testing kits for fentyl and stricnine and other laces should be free
Narcan should be free (and is given out by a lot of opioid awareness groups thank god)
Access to methadone and suboxone should be free
And this is all like… really basic stuff. I personally want full repeal of the scheduling system and other measures regarding the prison system
Drug addiction is a direct result of suppression of certain populations and the pharmaceutical industry’s push for the normalization of opiate use.
Anti drug policy is almost entirely rooted in racism and it serves to build up our prison system, while simultaneously denying addicts access to safe withdrawal measures. The war on drugs never served to help the people as a whole, and always served to isolate people of color and divide the classes even further. There’s a reason mostly poor people and/or people of color face real time for drug charges.
OP, the original post is not exactly the best one to stick an informative post onto and that’s really telling🤔
Dude I don’t give a fuck how my information is presented. If you’re not automatically willing to review your politics when someone brings up a justice issue, despite how it’s initially directed, then you’re still a baby leftist.
The left has an absolute problem with ableism, especially racialized ableism. As a recovering addict I’m allowed to make posts that make you question if you’re doing enough for neurodivergent people.
all people in prison for possession should be freed and given the economic and therapeutic means to recover from their addictions. widespread programs to provide employment and housing and community to addicts should be implemented and free to use. ideally, leftists should support decriminalization of drugs, widespread information about hiv + fentanyl + infections/safe injection habits and basically all other effective harm reduction techniques.
harm reduction rhetoric has been coopted in a lot of ways to become a neoliberal biomedical prevention technique with the purpose of protecting “””the innocent””” (i.e the talking points are about preventing the spread of HIV rather than protecting the health of addicts, who are still deemed irresponsible and unworthy by the public health system, hence why harm reduction is not seen as often in prisons) and leftists have a duty to reassert harm reduction as an act of radical compassion and grassroots public health.
JAMES GUNN FIRED FROM ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 3′!
James Gunn has been removed as director of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3′ following controversy surrounding a series of offensive “jokes” that surfaced on twitter. No other information has been revealed!
Hey so it’s worth noting that the person leading this charge is an alt right author and actual honest to god proponent of rape and that James gunn apologized years ago and that all of these horrible very bad ‘jokes’ (since I guess we’re using quotes now) are at least seven years old.
I’m all for consequences for actions. But why are Scarjo or Renner still employed? And Why do people who actually do bad things get less flack than people who have demonstrated growth and change and are less disgusting than they used to be?
Why was a man who thinks rape is good louder than someone who knows he was being a dick when he joked about horrible things?
This is who got James Gunn fired. Just so yall know what the FUCK the world looks like today.
-That glowing thing Michael was looking at reminded me of the inside of a Bajoran Orb though that might just be a coincidence.
-Why does Pike’s uniform look different from everyone else’s including Number One’s? It also looks a lot like an AOS uniform and makes me curious if they can make the uniforms look more similar now due to the Paramount/CBS merger.
-How long is Pike going to be captain and who will be captain after him?
-Im enjoying Number One’s performance already and can see that becoming a fan favorite.
-I liked the music choice and how Tilly high fived Paul though I think purists would disagree with both those things.
An Edmonton woman says she’s still in shock after being refused a cab ride when she asked a Duffy’s Taxi driver for help Monday night.
Angela Gladue, who was in Manitoba to perform at the Winnipeg Folk Festival last weekend, said she was being chased down Portage Avenue by a strange man when she hopped in a cab for refuge.
Gladue said she was taken aback when the driver asked for cash upfront.
“I said ‘Yes, I do have money, but you have to go now. I will pay you, just start driving — there is a man coming and I am really scared,’” said Gladue, a powwow dancer who dances with the Ottawa electronic music group A Tribe Called Red.
“He was, like, ‘Give me $10.’”
Gladue said she was in fear for her safety and couldn’t think of anything else but getting away.
She said she has been asked to pay upfront by Edmonton taxi drivers in the past and has done so, reluctantly.
The driver wouldn’t go, even when the man who was chasing her caught up and began pacing back and forth beside the cab, she said.
“I was, like, ‘Are you refusing me service right now? My life is in danger,’” she said.
“Then I brought up missing and murdered Indigenous women and what he was doing felt like racism toward me, and I told him that.”
Saying that Israel is to blame for police brutality against people of color (mainly Black Americans if we’re being honest) in the US isn’t a new form of blood libel, by the way. It’s a white supremacist conspiracy theory.
Oh and it was retweeted by JVP. I, for one, am shocked.
Antisemites in my experience are profoundly ignorant and at the same time incredibly sure of themselves. This combination makes it so that whenever anyone tries to correct them, no matter how well-meaning and polite they are, the antisemite rejects it because they already consider themselves as having all the answers.
So, in that sense, the following Twitter thread makes perfect sense:
I got my first tumblr hate comment early this morning and its so cute I love it. Like I actually giggled. Too pure. Wholesome.
I’m still waiting. One day I’ll be good enough for someone to spill some haterade on me.
Its so good dude I love it.
What did they do, call you names and accuse you of gatekeeping? Elitism? Being a libtard cuck-witch?
Just that im a waste of space. It was a black and white porn blog too. I love him!!!! Marry me. He also compared Nazis to leftists. So pure dude. Im in love 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
😂😂😂😂
IT WAS SO WHOLESOME
Imagine traveling back in time to the early 90s and telling someone that in 2018 people who liked p0rn would be attacking religious people on the internet for being too *left wing*
