The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch
An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.
What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?
Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

During last weekend’s life-threatening freeze, city leaders asked OnPoint’s overdose prevention center (OPC) to stay open 24/7 to keep people indoors, warm, and alive. They did. That’s what OPCs are: community safety infrastructure that saves lives, cuts 911 calls, and connects people to care.

yeah, sweeping people out of their tents is really likely to get them into shelters they are already avoiding & spending money on that won't take away from funding for actual housing... oh wait...

The Merseyside Experiment: Will UK Recall Its Heroin-Prescribing History? - Filter
“The war on drugs has failed,” Zack Polanski told reporters in October 2025. The new leader of the Green Party ...
As some UK politicians seek to end the drug war, it's easy to forget how heroin prescribing existed there for much of the 20th century.
It "just works," says Dr. John Marks—who was "vilified" as political pressure shut down his successful clinics in 1995.

Bronx Móvil permanecerá cerrado del 5 al 12 de enero de 2026. Trabajamos cuando la mayoría de las agencias se toman un descanso durante las fiestas. La Epifanía es nuestro momento de descanso y renovación.
La salud en las calles. La reducción de daños centrado en y por la comunidad. El liderazgo del Pueblo. El amor radical. ¡Pálante!
Para apoyos de reducción de daños, incluyendo acceso a jeringuillas, pruebas y tratamiento de VIH y hepatitis, y otros servicios sociales, este vínculo tiene la información de colegas operando en la ciudad de NY:

The right to self-determination of a nation is linked to bodily autonomy. Both are part of harm reduction. The invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of Maduro are acts of violence linked to the #warondrugs. Harm reduction organizations MUST repudiate the war against Venezuela and link our principles as a movement to anti-colonialism in the global south.
El derecho a la autodeterminación de una nación está vinculado a la autonomía corporal. Ambos son parte de la reducción de daños. La invasión a Venezuela y el secuestro de Maduro son actos de violencia vinculados a la #guerracontralasdrogas. Las organizaciones de reducción de daños DEBEN repudiar la guerra contra Venezuela y vincular nuestros principios como movimiento con el anticolonialismo en el sur global.
Our thoughts today January 3, 2026.
The #warondrugs is a pretext for the violation of sovereignty. It is global violence.
The harm reduction movement must tie our liberation to the struggle against imperialism and colonialism.
