Two years ago, @Alex_Norcia joined @Filtermag_org to report mainly on THR. He did so just astonishingly well, with scoop after scoop, and editing besides. Now he leaves for new pastures.

Thank you for everything, Alex - it's been such a pleasure! And we'll see you around! 🙏

We're SO glad to welcome harm reductionists @ChristineRdrgz & @MorganGodvin to the board of The Influence Foundation—the nonprof behind Filter—joining @MyHarmReduction @dianemgoldstein @godfreywill & Phil Hur.

Huge thanks: Archie Brodsky, who retires after serving since day 1.

Welcome to the team, @KiranSidhu41! Have loved working with you as a freelancer - so glad we get to make it more regular!

@Filtermag_org @davidthekick David was a tremendous writer to work with, and a lovely person. As one small example, he refused (despite my objections) to accept any payment for his work, and instead set up a regular donation to Filter. Heartbreaking news.

[Filter | harm reduction journalism @Filtermag_org]

We are so terribly sad to learn of @davidthekick's passing. Alongside his other writing (like "The Weight of Air") and advocacy, David wrote for Filter and supported us in other ways. We loved working with him. He inspired us, and will continue to inspire others. ❤️💔

[Will Godfrey @godfreywill]

@MorganGodvin Get well soon!

Jon, living in a tent in downtown Portland, is one of many who have switched from injecting black tar heroin to smoking fentanyl "Blues."

“There’s positives and negatives for me," he explains to @MorganGodvin & @kristen_mph:

@MyHarmReduction I am so sorry to hear this, Sheila. Sending love to you and your family.

“This is a watershed milestone,” said Melissa Moore of @DrugPolicyOrg. “If we want to save lives, reduce criminalization, and curb racial disparities, we need comprehensive, innovative, and forward-thinking approaches like OPS.”

Adding a @washingtonpost reference “as first reported in @Filtermag_org” to my resume. This thread adds critical information and contextualization. Read.
