Great news! We have such a chronic shortage of treatment services that even when people receive care they are released right back to the street, creating a cycle of despair and addiction that criminalization would never - ever - solve. This is what we need more of from #orleg

Measure 110 providers working with PPB for rapid response connection to peer support specialists. Oregonians are eager for real solutions. These are the kinds of projects #orleg should be focused on. Help, not handcuffs, is the way forward. kptv.com/2023/12/29/ppb…

RE: @TinaKotek 's Central City Task Force Recommendations We all agree that state leaders must take swift action to address the drug addiction and homelessness crises across Oregon. However, criminalization will harm, not help. Read our full statement: aclu-or.org/en/press-relea…

Oregon Change Clinic is a culturally-specific, outpatient treatment facility for substance use recovery and mental health disorders. They recently held a graduation ceremony for people who completed their intensive outpatient treatment program.🧵#orpol #orleg

Every day, hundreds of people are getting turned away from detox and addiction treatment services. People who do manage to get services are being released back into homelessness. There is no excuse for not investing in the full continuum of care. #orpol #orleg

People struggling with drug addiction need access to treatment. Not jail beds. #orpol #orleg @EliseKOIN's story: #Measure110-funded addiction service providers are expanding detox bed capacity, peer support services, and more paths to recovery. koin.com/news/oregon/de…

Instead of going back to a broken system that treats addiction as a crime and disproportionately harms Black and brown people, our leaders need to deliver more housing and more treatment. – Larry Turner, Executive Director, Fresh Out Community-Based Re-Entry Program #orpol #orleg

"Racial disparities within Oregon’s legal and social service systems have deepened in recent years, and our rates of incarceration will only rise with a rollback of Measure 110." Don't miss Leticia's powerful letter in today's @Oregonian. #orpol #orleg oregonlive.com/opinion/2023/1…

Daily reminder: Tackling the addiction crisis requires real solutions that put our communities and public health first. Not incarceration. Not recriminalization. Not the failed war on drugs. #orpol #orleg

From "narrowing the gap on racial disparities in drug possession arrests" to funding culturally specific service providers, #Measure110 is helping Oregon communities heal from the harm caused by the failed war on drugs. A 🧵 on this week's @StreetRoots cover story. #orpol #orleg

"Treleaven stressed that the money flowing into treatment from Measure 110 has allowed BestCare to serve more people. Admissions have tripled. It has enabled BestCare to do more outreach to get people into treatment. “You don’t get into recovery if you are dead,” he said."

In today's @Oregonian, the CEO of Titan Freight Systems urges Portland city officials & law enforcement to prioritize confiscation of hard drugs. "Nobody, especially kids, should have to witness the tragedy of open drug use on their way to school or the playground." #orpol #orleg

"I think Oregonians know, and this is where I stand, that it is a public health issue...I’m particularly focused on making sure that people have a place to go when they are ready to recover." @GovTinaKotek knows we cannot go back to the failed War on Drugs. #orleg #orpol

Something about the immense praise for Ryan Gosling’s performance in #BarbieMovie isn’t sitting well with me, given the movie’s clear message about patriarchal culture… 🤨 He was good but was he really that extraordinary or is he just a man/ #kenough ?

People seem to love #Oppenheimer but I'll just say it: I was uncomfy watching yet another movie about tortured white male genius when the victims of the atrocities glossed over by the script—Japanese people, interned Japanese Americans, and Native Americans—had no voice.

The incessant pressure about babies on the @LoveisBlindShow reunion is so insensitive and insulting. It’s more embarrassing than completely biffing your “live” reunion. I know it’s a dating show but it’s unacceptable. Not everyone wants or can have kids. @netflix @VanessaLachey

You might not know this, but both Ke Huy Quan and Hong Chau are Boat People. Their families fled Vietnam in 1978/79 following the end of the war, and they both came to the U.S. as refugees. Tonight, they're up for Best Actor/Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards 🥲💛
