Seen all of #Dopesick?
Few were willing to challenge OxyContin's rise. But now we have the benefit of hindsight
Here are just some of the unethical, immoral & criminal acts of Purdue Pharma the series exposes
As the Sackler Family likes to say: Judge For Yourselves
THREAD 1/18
Finally the Court did something right. Even this SCOTUS realized the Sackler Crime Family deserves justice for causing & profiting off the opioid epidemic, not immunity. After waiting years, it's time for @DOJCrimDiv to put their mountains of smoking-gun evidence to use #Dopesick
Join us Monday as activist @ejb1893, TV writer @benjamin_rubin, and journalist @BarryMeier discuss what’s gained, lost, and changed when news stories are adapted for the big screen. Only on STAT+ Connect: https://t.co/R274ZW7fio
@countmystars@AoDespair@HollyBSo@moses_marquez@stevendeknight This is a great point. So I want to echo what I said in the meeting last night: As Story Editors / Lower Levels, our careers & our livelihoods literally depend on showrunner discretion. So to all the showrunners out there we’ve marched with for 5 months, please *don’t forget us*
@AoDespair Thank you. I raised this question with captains and at the @WGAEast meeting last night, and this was not the response we got. A lot of lower levels are very disappointed right now, so I highly recommended the council communicate this to membership officially! @LisaCullen
@brieburnham@countmystars@moses_marquez@stevendeknight Unfortunately those numbers are totals. So for the small room, they have to hire 3 people. Of those 3, 3 must be mid-to-upper levels. So my concern is: Where do lower levels fit in?
#Dopesick fans: A must-read by my friend @ajsaeedy. #PurduePharma was just the start. An outrageous story of generics maker Mallinckrodt illegally pushing cheap Oxy & abusing bankruptcy system to avoid consequences @papergirlmacy@Dannystrong@RexChapman

If you saw #Dopesick you know of the amazing author @papergirlmacy. Her follow-up book RAISING LAZARUS is out now! Thrilling, eye-opening, inspiring, it's one of the most important books I've ever read.
A must-read on the opioid crisis & the path forward

@katakeith Hey Katie, thank you! And I'm so glad to hear this stuff was helpful. I can definitely point you to all the sourcing (it mostly came from various state Attorney General legal filings, etc). I'll DM you to get into specifics.
Seen #Dopesick ep 6?
I bet you were appalled by the "blood charts" & manipulated data Rick & Randy uncovered. Think that can't be real? No way #PurduePharma actually did that?
Let's start from the beginning. This is what a normal, scientific chart should look like...

@alikat747@StarTrek That Richard Sackler deposition might very well be the single most terrifying thing I have ever seen in my life. And my uncle let me watch "A Clockwork Orange" and "The Shining" back-to-back, when I was 11.
More Americans have died from overdoses than Covid-19. If you saw #Dopesick you know our healthcare & regulatory systems helped create our opioid crisis. But they STILL haven't mobilized to seriously address it
A must-read from Dopesick's @papergirlmacy

@TimAlricB Thank you, this really means a lot to all of us involved. I'm glad the show is resonating and helping to spread awareness. Thanks for watching
@AbbeyResearch Thank you for having me! Couldn't have asked for a better & more informed interviewer than Dr Kristen. I highly recommend all who are interested to check out the @AbbeyResearch YouTube page where they've done a phenomenal job covering #Dopesick (among many other things)
Want to hear more about #Dopesick? Check out my 1st on-camera interview where I discuss working on the series.
An honor to be a part of @Dannystrong's show & to be able to discuss it here
Big thanks to @klndonnelly & @AbbeyResearch for having me & 4 all the amazing work they do!
In 10 day Covid isolation I've rewatched every Star Trek film ever made. My conclusion?
The greatest Trek line ever written: "There's an old Vulcan proverb. Only Nixon could go to China" -Spock, Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country
Thanks to writer @NicholasMQ
I feel better now
