I'm genuinely really curious whether addiction researchers find this to be a plausible explanation for the fall in overdose deaths
Decrease in drug deaths stems from ‘shock’ to fentanyl supply, new research suggests
A new Science paper links the sharp decline in U.S. overdose deaths since 2023 to reduced fentanyl potency, pointing to a supply-side shock.

Hi attorneys! Want to not be able to get to sleep tonight? Here's Judge Rakoff (probably the single most well-respected judge in SDNY) saying that the use of AI destroys both attorney-client privilege and work-product privilege.

In other words, the Feds relied on perjury to bring charges against the people they scapegoated in an attempt to justify their illegal gunfire at protestors who posed no risk of imminent violence.

As per County of Los Angeles v.

KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

there is no punishment adequate for these beasts.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
