I took a philosophy class in college called “Current Moral and Social Issues” and I wish I could remember the instructor. He was amazing. The topics were things like abortion. He would come into class and give a complete breakdown of one side of the argument. You would leave class that day going my God that completely changed my opinion. You would come to the next class, and he would give a completely compelling breakdown of the alternate view. It honed all of our critical thinking skills. This is absolutely necessary in our culture today. This clip represents real and honest debate and we need more of it.

San Francisco’s RESET center is set to open May 4th. It’s a new model that allows police officers to quickly arrest those engaged in public drug use and bring them to a health-focused facility where they can sober up and have a chance to be connected to treatment.

I ran for mayor because I couldn’t explain to my kids why they were seeing people using drugs at a bus stop on a Monday morning—and as a parent and as mayor, I can’t accept that. With the RESET Center, we are making it clear: if you use drugs on our streets, there will be consequences, but there will also be a real path to recovery.

@Meow_Arf12 @harlemedic @ValerieAnne1970 But if the baby is already exposed in utero, how is this helpful? Serious question.

@ConraddeWolf @AlBuffalo2nite @grok It’s actually proving to be lower costs over many acres than chemical pesticides from what farmers are reporting.

@attila_a @jane7vale @newstart_2024 I am curious - do you prescribe patients medications for symptoms or encourage (possibly even difficult) modifications in lifestyle to get to the source changes of the disease? We are not always victims of genetics
