🧡Why language in drug policy matters 🧡 This is why we have moved towards problematic drug use rather than "abuse" or "misuse". A deeper exploration of how language impacts people's lives is explored here: talkingdrugs.org/is-this-a-d…
The term “drug abuse” is especially troubling in regards to criminalization because “abuse” absolutely should be criminalized - abusing your kids, your wife, your employees, senior citizens etc. When we call folks who use drugs “abusive” it justifies state violence against them.

What a relief to see them back together and thank you to all who campaigned so hard for so long. Now I hope they have the privacy, time, space and support to heal and adjust to their new normal.
The moment Richard, Nazanin and Gabriella finally reunited after 6 long years. This picture makes me so happy and so proud of all 3 of my brave constituents. Thank you everyone for your constant support for this incredible family. #NazaninIsFree

During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

A kind, reliable, loving parent transforms a child’s life.
The single most common factor for children who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive parent, caregiver, or other adult. #ItsAllAboutRelationships developingchild.harvard.edu/…

Prison will never be a safe place to be pregnant. 2 babies have died in prison in the past 2 years. The government can and must put an end to prison sentencing for pregnant women. Join the @we_level_up campaign: act.welevelup.org/campaigns/…

Here’s my recent appearance on @BBCNewsnight
“We have failed to educate people about drugs because of the stigma associated with them.” @Columbia Prof @drcarlhart, a drugs expert who also recreationally uses narcotics, argues in favour of regulating drugs saying it would enable us to enhance their safety #Newsnight

Wonderful to see this review. However, until we alter the lens through which we view mothers and mothering many challenges will remain.

The emotional & psychological abuse is consistently reported as being ‘the worst’ & more damaging and long-lasting that physical abuse by the women our shelter network supports. #dfv – at Sydney, New South Wales
‘The violence I endured was bad, but I always say I preferred the physical abuse to emotional abuse, where you’re made to feel guilty & you owe them for it when they’re nice. When someone uses their words to control you, no one sees your scars or pain.’ smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-an…

I never thought I’d say this but Twitter has to get behind @piersmorgan on this. The Tory government is blacklisting his program for daring to hold them to account for presiding over the worst public health disaster in British history.
Piers Morgan - The government are refusing to appear on #GMB. What are they scared of?
