@garthmullins A few years later and they started closing their clinics across the province with zero notice to staff or clients - just a piece of paper taped to a window giving folk a few days warning - if they happened to be there to read it.

@garthmullins Almost all of that number was dispensing fees for daily medication - even stuff like clonidine, which you basically can't give away and could have easily been given 90 days at a time. The clinic/pharmacy constantly fired their staff for not bringing in more money and it was chaos

@garthmullins My first year costs for methadone + associated meds was assessed as $12,000 when I applied for emergency coverage. The next year, I was deemed too wealthy for coverage because I was slightly more than $12,000 over the poverty line (pre-tax, of course), which is the cut off.

@eengler17 @Twolfrecovery @LondonBreed @SF_DPH Maybe you just tell yourself it's just your job to play Grima Wormtongue for Ellis and Kenney. That nobody is hurt by spreading such transparent falsehoods on the bird app.

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

@eengler17 @Twolfrecovery @LondonBreed @SF_DPH Fast forward two years and those unprecedented, unsustainable numbers are your sign of success. The great breakthrough moment.

It's stomach turning. I hope these smug tweets haunt you at night when the dust has settled and you realize how many families you've destroyed.

@eengler17 @Twolfrecovery @LondonBreed @SF_DPH In 2020, when COVID closed the door to resources and the news cycle gave UCP ghouls cover to get to work with their knife, we were all told 90 poisoned, 100 poisoned a month was a temporary effect of the pandemic - as short lived as it was unavoidable.

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

@eengler17 @Twolfrecovery @LondonBreed @SF_DPH You built a crime against humanity rollercoaster by stoking the poisoning crisis to unprecedented levels, and now you're screaming with joy during a dip on the track you architected. The only impressive things here are how many you've killed or that we haven't run out of victims.

@TristinHopper Please, do tell what massive harm reduction funding was ongoing in 2007, and provide receipts that it outstripped spending on traditional interventions/policing of low level drug possession.

@TristinHopper Please, do tell what massive harm reduction funding was ongoing in 2002, and provide receipts that it outstripped spending on traditional interventions/policing of low level drug possession.

@SomeEgrets They're a bit lefty for some people's tastes, but overall just getting involved in SOME form of response in the community helps so much to fight back.

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

@SomeEgrets It doesn't stop the onslaught of doom, but it's at least helped me reframe a lot of this news in terms of asking first and foremost "what does this mean for how we can respond to it?" instead of just feeling crushed - even for things I don't have bandwidth for.

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

@SomeEgrets I've really gotten into shows like "It Could Happen Here" which try to reframe a lot of the awfulness around how we can respond and organize around these horrible things. It does help!

@justacoverband Imagine seeing faux-edgy brandter about your miscarriage.

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

@SteveBuick2 @edmontonjournal Furthermore, we've all seen you play this game before - celebrate "good months" (that are still humanitarian disasters) while downplaying the bad ones - then acting oblivious when the yearly totals represent a stupifying loss of human lives.

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

@SteveBuick2 @edmontonjournal 115 human beings dead from preventable, policy-driven poisonings is neither "meaningless" nor "good news". Before the UCP went to work gutting harm reduction April would have been considered a disastrous month.

[Liz @lizzard1278]

I was told there would be a handbasket.

@0xfeedc0ffee Hey, weird question, what was the distro of linux we used to run on the fileserver? I think it might be discontinued now. I recall it being very stability-focused. Something with a K, maybe?

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

@garthmullins Next time ask them to hold some of your stuff if they're going to be following you around like that.

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

As always, for anyone who supports the work LOPS does and wishes to contribute to the legal fund to challenge the SCS ID requirements preventing us from operating, please consider donating to our joint GoFundMe, administered by the firm representing us:

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

It's difficult for me to put this out here and I probably should have done it sooner, but here's the situation: Things have not been easy as the most visible person involved in LOPS and our stand against the prov attack on harm reduction. Things are hard.

[Timothy Slaney @Timothy_Slaney]

I am asking for anyone who has seen what a rollercoaster these last two years have been and would like to help, to consider helping me regain some stability, and I'm guaranteeing that I will not abandon LOPS or our work in the courts no matter which way things shake out.
