You can overdose from prescription pill and opioid misuse. Taking just one pill or dose of an opioid could stop you from breathing and lead to an overdose. Check out this video from @DCPCWards5and6 discussing the risks of prescription pill misuse here 👉 https://t.co/UENCrUQuay

George Floyd was murdered one year ago today. Since then, hundreds more Americans have died in encounters with police—parents, sons, daughters, friends taken from us far too soon. But the last year has also given us reasons to hope.

More than 50 years before George Floyd's death, lawmakers predicted a growing racial divide. Little changed. https://t.co/bPAo7TqH0P

This is heartbreaking.

They’ve numbered the plywood used to board up their windows so they can more easily put it back up the next time.

With the assumption that there will be “a next time.”
