At the end of last year, @bigissue.com reported on three deaths related to a new synthetic opioid that had emerged - cychlorphine - and asked why local warnings and public information had been delayed getting to frontline services.

Read the full report here: www.bigissue.com/news/social-...
Warning over new opioid 200 times stronger than heroin as three dead within days
Questions mount over delays in informing frontline services about the threat from new synthetic opioid cychlorphine.

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.

Never tell a lie. Leads to more lies and the truth is just the truth.

Paraphrasing Frank Serpico's Dad. A fascinating interview Yes he talks as the interviewer, (who is also a whistleblower cop) tries to interject. He's navigating lay listeners towards some brutal facts. youtu.be/P32717chEQw?...

Here's Sheriff Abercrombie's review into death in custody FAIs. His 34 recommendations include that legal aid be made available to families immediately after the death. He also reiterates the need for an independent body to oversee the implementation of recommendations.

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.

To find airpockets & replenish.

The news is insane right now. Outside my window is also insane most days.
I've become interested in the work of Emanuel Swedenborg which is also insane but strangely comforting.

This can't go on . It's tragic and evil . UK drug laws and welfare dismantling are also fuelling it.

For fuck sake man . It's heart breaking

We need to talk about all these things.

#GVerse Before changing its name to the #Shit4Brains-Kennedy Center, the board of trustees apparently forgot to secure the new website domain.

Unfortunately for them, the domain is now owned by comedian and former South Park writer Toby Morton.

Uk censorship laws will stop kids getting any harm reduction information re drugs & alcohol. But will it stop Media celebrities including ex Royal family correspondent/ national news presenters abusing /accessing images of children being abused. Will it stop kids drug running. No Satan is in charge
