drug tests are not useful for detecting child abuse: they do far more harm than good when they result in parent/child separation, especially for marijuana drugs in blood and urine tell you little or nothing about behavior www.themarshallproject.org/2026/02/10/b...?
Tens of Thousands of Mothers Were Flagged to Police Over Flawed Drug Tests at Childbirth
The Marshall Project found more than 70,000 cases referred to law enforcement over allegations of substance use during pregnancy — and that’s a significant undercount.

The arrested women had to be unhancuffed to adminster potentially life saving firsr aid to one of the ICE crew who arrested them. Only to be re-shackled as emergency services arrived. These people helped because they saw a Human being in distress.

A year ago or so. I decided to disengage from people who seemed to play Devil's Advocate for Trump. The energy levels needed were unsustainable in trying to counter their toxic arguments , that he was a down to earth advocate for blue collar 'America'. I hope they now realise how dangeeous he is.

The UK government has launched a consultation on expanding naloxone access, looking to change who can supply it and where it's available, notably without a prescription.
This is a good move as synthetic opioids like nitazenes have become a daily reality in drug supplies.

Sometimes you've just got to say fuck it . I tried my best but there are darker forces out there and they're winnning. That's not to give up but to turn to the light and recharge , to find ways to self care and coregulate through music , art with friendly faces.
