Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain. We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.

A note from our editors:
Note from the editors: ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement. The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

Harm reduction isn’t about nudging people toward abstinence—it’s about rejecting the idea that drug use makes someone disposable in the first place.

Psychiatrists don’t make diss tracks, they just say “thank you for this interesting consult” on every capacity evaluation they do for you

Radiologists don't make diss tracks, they say "as previously seen" in a follow-up study about a finding you hadn't described initially

Very proud this is being publicized now - our teams at @The_BMC and friends at @MassGeneralNews pushing back on draconian prohibition rules re: reporting pregnant PWUD at birth to DCF. This policy rooted in stigma & ⬆️ OD risk when people stop their MOUD wbur.org/news/2024/04/03/mas…

Some Mass. hospitals stop infant welfare reporting based solely on drug dependence

Instead of automatically reporting to the state infants born dependent on addictive substances like opioids, new policies ask hospital staff to evaluate whether the newborn faces an imminent risk of...

The Hilton was @Kanakuk punishment program for "sinners" that broke kamp rules. It was named after the infamous POW camp Hoa Lo Prison aka Hanoi Hilton. This was explained to us by staff as we were separated from the general kamp population. When doing time at the Hilton /1

Vivitrol does not have the lifesaving benefits associated with methadone & buprenorphine. A re-analysis of a pivotal clinical trial shows that people who take it are twice as likely to overdose scientificamerican.com/artic… the record needs correcting

Vivitrol, Used to Fight Opioid Misuse, Has a Major Overdose Problem

A recent examination of Vivitrol’s clinical trial data uncovered many hidden overdoses. Its preferential use in the criminal justice system must stop
