Blame #Canada

Our warmongering, drugged-out conspiracy theory

Timothy #Snyder Mar 16, 2025

When #Trump announces an aggressive policy, he attaches to it a grotesque justification. ...

This is the magic of the big lie, as #Hitler explained in Mein Kampf. Tell a lie so big, advised Hitler, that people will not believe that you would deceive them on such a scale.

I try to make it a point to read entire articles before I post them (which should be basic etiquette, but shockingly is not), but I confess that I just stopped midway thru this one on the women helping to save lives of addicts: delacortereview.org/2025/02/25

I lost someone to substance abuse issues a few days ago and this hits home hard. Take care of yourselves and love your loved ones.

So my pharmacy was out of the painkillers I'm on.

I ran out yesterday.

They got the shipment in today and are working to fill my script.

The pain is only slightly offset by going cold turkey. I will be better soon.

The B.C. government is making changes to its safer supply program that will require patients to take their doses of medications such as hydromorphone in the presence of a health care worker. New patients will immediately be required to have their doses witnessed, but there will be a transition period for those already in the program.

Wisebaker is encouraging Dentonites to email the County Judge at andy.eads at dentoncounty.gov to encourage him to release the opioid abatement funds to facilities like SONTx. #Denton #Opioids
