No DMs unless related to advocacy please. I’m an advocate for social equity in the treatment of #chronicpain and I watch really bad reality shows. I need help to raise awareness of how people in pain have been treated in this country.

Here’s the chart that shows how Rx opioids DIDN’T fuel the overdose epidemic. It’s illicit fentanyl. It has been since 2016.
Our country has been destabilized by an administration that allowed new analogs to proliferate, while killing #chronicpain patients. Now they’re back. (CDC data)

The fences are coming down in Broadview. #ICE complied with the orders with 90 minutes to spare. Good for them. They can go home now.

Totally agree - and if they’ve stopped playing by the rules and they have, I think we should take creative license with them ourselves.

Thank you. And thank you for the follow. I’ve been trying to tell the world TACO knew about illicit fentanyl being the driver of overdoses in 2016. And he said nothing. They then went after people in pain instead. Big mistake. We’re years behind them with new analogs of illicit stuff.

Last year in the July before the election, I randomly posted somewhere that I had a feeling things were gonna get really bad. Really, really bad. I just felt it. I still do. Of course people told me I was stupid.
And this has been in the making for years.

lol. She blocked me when I told her she ran out of arguments. That was fun.

Today on my way to the dentist (🙄) I walked by people of all races and ethnicities, some who are disabled. Young and old. Everyone said good morning to each other - with eye contact. Because we all belong here. Then I dropped my dog off with the Mexican groomer and went to my Japanese dentist.

Jan, that’s the response of a person who knows their argument has been invalidated.
Your world is very small, Jan. You will find so much joy in welcoming more of the world in. Joseph and Mary were illegal immigrants.

You don’t understand what undocumented means. Most of those people are doing just that while they work and keep our economy going. And they’re being tricked into coming in for a meeting and coming out zip-tied. They are not illegal. They are in the system.

She hasn’t seen the stories of the farmers and the construction company owners and restauranteurs who have employed people for years. And their companies are tanking.

Who’s on the show? Mrs. Who? Nope. Out.

Many aren’t illegal. They are undocumented and going through the process when they’re grabbed.

My grandpa came here illegally, but he wasn’t illegal.
He didn’t speak English.
Here’s a picture of my dad. Immigrant success. This is what you’re afraid of, Jan. You’re own mediocrity being unmasked.

Does this look like a criminal apprehension? She’s 15. Look at that scary scary neighborhood too.

Don’t forget that they are a net benefit to our economy. They live here, they buy stuff and pay taxes. And many don’t get anything back from “the state” in return.

Jan, where do you live?

SallyB - -🖤 @sallybfromtwitter.bsky.social · 16h

That’s actually kind of brilliant. Like a sting.

I actually am kind of an expert on illicit drugs, Jan. Venezuelans aren’t the problem. 90% of illicit fentanyl comes in through legal ports of call. From China. Remember the tariffs?
Where’s his plan to eliminate illicit fentanyl, Jan?

No one made them apply for jobs. What kind of person wants a job yanking teenage girls from their cars and kidnapping them. That’s what they signed up to do Jan. Pull kids from their parents and pull girls into cars - with their faces covered.

As a 2nd generation American, I wonder why they wanted those jobs. This is a city of immigrants. We celebrate that here.

Legally the are required to show their face and provide their name. But nothing is legal anymore.

Have you seen them? The last thing they need is a high calorie drink. They need to be in what is it? Peak male condition? Buy them Crystal Light.
