@auweia1 @mattdorsey @RafaelMandelman @LondonBreed Finally! Someone calling for solving the ROOT problem - REPEAL SB 1380!!

I repealed SB 1380 in 2016 by refusing to bend the knee to taxpayer funded drug housing, That decision cost our nonprofit $83 million, but it saved our mission (and our soul).

This is the exact debacle that the Bay Area implemented. Want to get a vision for San Diego? Head up to San Francisco and go for a stroll.

[Bill Wells @MayorBillWells]

The County is shamefully considering implementing "Harm Reduction" strategies under the guise of addressing homelessness. This ill-conceived plan involves distributing free needles, crack pipes, and other drug paraphernalia to homeless individuals living on the streets. Here are more of the items:

*Sterile syringes
*Personal sharps disposal containers;
*Safer injection and wound care supplies;
*Naloxone;
*Fentanyl test strips;
*Condoms and lube packets with instructions;
*Educational information on HIV, STDs, and viral hepatitis transmission prevention;
*Safer smoking supplies ( including pipe covers, mouthpieces, foil sheets, clean glass stems, and bubblers)

We have a chance to stop this, and I urge you to take immediate action and lend your voice to oppose this absurd proposal. Your input can make a critical difference in thwarting this harmful strategy and safeguarding the well-being of our community.

🛑 Stop Syringe Services Program 🛑

In 2021, the Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to create a “Harm Reduction Program”. Part of that proposal included a Syringe Services Program, which essentially gives free drug paraphernalia to San Diegans. I was one of the dissenting votes, primarily because I don't believe enabling drug use will get people the help they need. The majority of people living on our streets are addicted to drugs and alcohol, and promoting drug use will only perpetuate the problem.

The County of San Diego is pursuing a harm reduction program, including syringe services and safer smoking supplies, through the California Department of Public Health. The good news is you can give your input on this ridiculous plan!

This potential program involves, in part, the distribution of free needles and various other drug paraphernalia, and includes:

-Sterile syringes
-Personal sharps disposal containers
-Safer injection and wound care supplies
-Naloxone
-Fentanyl test strips
-Condoms and lube packets with instructions
-Educational information on HIV, STDs, and viral hepatitis transmission prevention
-Safer smoking supplies (including pipe covers, mouthpieces, foil sheets, clean glass stems, and bubblers)

Please join me in opposing this proposal, or components of it, for North County. Your input and active participation can make a critical difference in thwarting this harmful strategy and safeguarding our communities.

@KUSINews @ToddGloria Having personally created shelters and safe sleeping environments for 10,000 + homeless persons since 1992, this is an epic failure of public policy. I challenge any media outlet to prove me wrong.

[Chris Megison @chrismegison]

@KUSINews @ToddGloria 100% Unsafe sleeping.

[Chris Megison @chrismegison]

@EricaJSandberg @auweia1 8,429 San Diego homeless tweakers served sobriety in a drug free, work-to-eat, get your shit together community since 1992.

@realsaadasad @jim_desmond John has a life threatening medical condition. Treatment can save John’s life. John repeatedly denies offered treatment. Tom, a Housing First advocate, supports John’s denial. John suffers. John dies. Tom then blames Jim, a treatment advocate.

Don’t be a Tom. Help save John.

@myfoursome @jim_desmond I’ve been in the substance abuse field for 36 years and have worked with 100’s of counselors. Your statement is wholly false. The DSM-5-TR is the diagnostic tool that clinicians use to assess. Nowhere in the 11 criteria is your so called “fact.”

[Chris Megison @chrismegison]

@RachelLaing You mean Mayor Gloria, who championed, enabled, promoted and literally cocreated the policies that led to the suffering and death unfolding on our streets? You mean the one who is now trying to contain, control and manage the crisis that he himself is responsible for? That one?

[Chris Megison @chrismegison]

@EricaJSandberg But according to the Mayors post today he is super happy because San Diego is in the top 20 happiest places to live. 🙄

@21five_public @Twolfrecovery @RecoveryDoctor Housing First hasn’t worked for hundreds of addicts that we’ve helped over the past 24 years.

@POTUS Definition of a “tool” - “an apparatus used by the tool operator(s) to achieve a desired result.” EG: Obama, Soros, Clinton (tool operators) use the tool (Biden) to achieve a desired result (you’re screwed).

@1998_pleb What part of taxpayer funded drug housing don’t you understand?

I know people who work at Twitter and @elonmusk request for hardcore work is defined: A)Get up, B)Suit Up (come to work not in PJs & a shower would be nice), C)Show Up (on time, and leave the bong at home).

Apparently, according to the media on resignations, that’s a big ask!
