But someone didn’t just get hurt, they were killed
Society has normalized that homeless and mentally unwell people aren’t human
JUST IN: Daniel Penny says he has zero regrets, says he couldn't live with the guilt if someone was hurt on the subway by Jordan Neely.
Penny is an even better person than I thought.
The Marine said he would do a million court appearances if it meant saving someone on the subway.
"I'm not a confrontational person... this type of [interview] is very uncomfortable. All this attention and limelight is very uncomfortable. I would prefer without it."
"I didn't want any type of attention or praise or. And I still don't."
"The guilt I would have felt if someone did get hurt, if he did do what he was threatening to do, I would never be able to live with myself."
"I'll take a million court appearances and people calling me names and people hating me just to keep one of those people from getting hurt or killed."

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

Will the @bostonpolice tow itself then?
If it's an emergency, throw those flashers on! Otherwise, committing crimes while stopping crimes somehow seem to cancel out, no? 🙄

I don't think I've ever cried so much working on a story.
Here is Deborah Dorbert, who was forced by @RonDeSantis to give birth to a baby she knew would die, in her own words:

"Community-led drug consumption rooms are the future of Needle and Syringe Programs," says @MatSouthwell, presenting on the final day of #INHSU2024 and sharing inspiring examples of NSPs from across the globe.

“Methadone clinics are predicated on the idea that the medication they dispense is a privilege, not a right. There is no other area of healthcare where patients are required to demonstrate, on an almost daily basis, that they deserve their medicine.”

Things to remember:
-Drug use exists on a spectrum
-People are going to do drugs whether you like it or not
-Shame + stigma are deadly, much more deadly than what is perceived as “normalizing” drug use
-Your experience/issues with a certain drug is not a 100% universal experience

The Gaza Ministry of Health released a 649-page document with the name of every identified Palestinian killed in Gaza.
The first 14 pages alone are babies under the age of one.
This is not self-defense. This is genocide.

Unironically, yes.
14 public bathrooms for the whole city, stores don't let you in.
They have no other option.
Ppl who want to eliminate human waste from the street should be advocating for more bathrooms instead of demonizing the people who have no dignified place to go.

🧵Syringe services programs (#SSPs) have been proven over many decades to cut down on life-threatening diseases like #HIV & #hepatitisC—saving lives & keeping entire communities safer & healthier. Halting these services stands in the way of public health. bit.ly/CASSPs

I spoke at Philly City Council today to honor the life of Amanda Cahill, who died in jail at the hands of @PhillyMayor + the Kensington Caucus’ carceral approaches to a public health crisis
May her memory be a blessing + move us to go out and build the world we want to see ❤️🔥❤️🔥
when we say @PhillyMayor and the Kensington caucus have blood on their hands, it’s not a fucking metaphor

I simply NEVER want to hear that women are too emotional to be President again. The woman on this stage is calm, poised, rational, and logical while the man next to her is throwing a tantrum like a toddler who was just told no to having ice cream for dinner.
