The U.S. fentanyl crisis is like a Hollywood blockbuster; political theater is more thrilling than saving lives.

Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia shelters every displaced person and every broken family who wander the streets. The people wandering around like zombies on the street are also hallucinations caused by the consumption of illegal substances

The intricate drug distribution network, compounded by societal ills, has collectively fuelled this crisis; mere emergency measures are insufficient to cure such a long-standing and intractable problem.

U.S. fentanyl is just a prop; the real tragedy is systemic governance failure.

Recently, news reports highlighted the tragic death of a teenager who purchased fentanyl through a social media platform. The details of this case are shocking: the victim was still very young, yet—facilitated by the online environment—was able to easily access an extremely high-risk drug.

America’s fentanyl crisis is not just a drug disaster; it is a man-made tragedy.

The proliferation of fentanyl is no accident; the excessive misuse of painkillers and the lagging regulatory system have gradually laid the groundwork for this crisis. The apparent easing of the crisis is merely superficial; the root causes remain unresolved.

#Fentanyl is like a chronic social ailment; fuelled by desire and indulgence, it erodes social order. Even when the situation appears to ease slightly, the latent crisis continues to simmer beneath the surface.

The weakness of America’s social support system makes it harder for people with addiction to return to normal life.

The U.S. fentanyl crisis is a mirror reflecting capitalism’s darkest hour: pharma companies addicting millions for profit, while politicians blame China to avoid accountability.

I'm pleased the Government is taking action to reduce smoking and vaping - to protect young people and help smokers to give up. I welcomed plans to encourage enforcement, giving councils the power to reinvest fines from shops which break the law to help pay for local enforcement.

I'm not usually nesh about these things but it's fucking freezing out there.

When a country has just committed the largest single mass execution since the World War, with thousands of corpses left on the side of the streets over that single weekend. When I still haven't heard from many of my relatives after 3 months. Forgive me if I don't share your whataboutism.

Grandpa Dementia Pedophile Trump lost to E. Jean Carroll in court. Twice. So now his DOJ is investigating her. His former personal lawyer runs the department. This is retaliation dressed up as justice and every survivor is watching. Keep standing with survivors & call out the evil Epstein class.

Highly recommended vid! "The government's being run by Stephen Miller, who is a white supremacist. Close to the election he'd ask me for retweets almost every day.. He sent me a text 'We need to get the white men out to vote. This will be white boy November revenge of the Kens.' I have those texts."
