If anyone is thinking about attending SASE 2026 and looking for a panel on East Asia, democracy, political economy, here's something i'm putting together. Pop me an email if your interests fit and would like to participate. Feels like SASE might be popular this year as many avoid US-based events.

Fall in opioid deaths in BC is more likely down to a shift from injection to inhalation than policing.
Thank you @isabella zavarise for bringing attention to this. The public deserves credible reports about public investments. Real lives are at stake. The vancouver mayor’s comments are shameful given the crisis we are in. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...
Vancouver mayor credits DTES task force with reducing overdoses. Here’s what public health experts say
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim continues to laud the impacts of a police-led task force focused on crime on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, claiming it led to a reduction in overdoses.

✊ From the late 19th century, socialist movements adopted the raised fist as a symbol of unity and strength.
One of the first depictions was by Hungarian artist Mihály Biró in 1912. His image of a fist emerging from factories toward parliament in Budapest visualised the power of collective action.

As @drugdatadecoded.ca reported, the judge noted DULF "are being hung out to dry. As soon as politicians started complaining, all of a sudden VPD [local police]—which before was fine—suddenly was not fine.” She nonetheless ruled on procurement and distribution? Legal hair-spitting over justice?
