Innovation

• 🧠 Here's a stream of consciousness post I wrote late last night in thinking about how the lessons we are learning from Minneapolis anti-ICE networks can help with the reinvention of harm reduction in a post-police society. - bsky.app
• 🛠️ Check out the latest piece by @mclc.bsky.social on industrial harm reduction, design that puts people, planet, and purpose before profit. www.aroko.world/industrial-h... - bsky.app
• 🧭 This is why I don't really believe in the "harm reduction" model of voting. I despair when my government empowers monsters to do monstrous things. I don't much care what color banner they do it under. If you're waiting anxiously for a return to this, then you're the kind of centrist fascists crave - bsky.app

Harm Reduction Discourse

• 🤝 British Columbia is ending its limited drug decriminalization policy and bringing back criminal penalties for personal possession. This decision ignores its own data and public health evidence, reversing a harm-reduction approach that showed early promise. drugpolicy.ca/bc-revives-c... - bsky.app
• 🚫 The argument was to choose harm reduction for the USA & to circle back later to try to correct horrific foreign policy with a lame neolib corporatist government rather than be forced to stage a violent revolution to overthrow the Antichrist. Kamala and normie libs suck. Trump is Death Incarnate. - bsky.app
