India arrested a human rights activist in Indian-administered Kashmir. Khurram Parvez's group has reported on extrajudicial killings and torture by Indian forces.
India has arrested 2,300+ people in the region since 2019 under laws allowing indefinite detention without trial.

Trump was the most corrupt President in our nation’s history. He let lawlessness run amok in his administration. My bill with Rep. @BillPascrell, the Political CRIMES Act, would strengthen the Hatch Act & hold those breaking the law accountable.

DEA is putting patients at risk every day by demonizing an effective medication for opioid addition.The med is a daily necessity to prevent overdose deaths- think insulin or heart medications. Pharmacies are afraid and often run out.We see this daily. npr.org/sections/health-shot…

Excited to share an interview w @thesignal on the intersection of COVID-19 and the #opioid crisis. So much work to be done to prevent more deaths. Shout out to brilliant colleagues @ABuntingPhD @highway_dave @MarieABragg Josh Arshonsky and Sam Friedman on the Reddit work!
Why has there been such a striking increase in American overdose deaths during the pandemic? @NoaKrawczyk on the consequences of isolation and a fatal contamination of illicit-drug supplies: getrevue.co/profile/thesigna…
To: Mayor Scott, What is the easiest, most cost efficient initiative to improve public safety and public health with minimal infrastructure, funding and a fast turnaround? Free Public Phones. BHLI has a plan. We only need the City to join with us.

It's outrageous that the US has become an international tax haven. We should use the reconciliation bill to close trust loopholes and give the IRS the resources to unravel the complex schemes of corporate tax cheats and the ultra-wealthy.

NPR, Washington Post, NYTimes important issue for you. Lack of evidence based medications available for people with OUD largely due to stigma and DEA oversight. Its criminal and hypocritical to wring hands about overdose deaths while restricting medication.

Mitch McConnell and the desperate Republican minority are willing to break any rule, any precedent, or any principle to hold onto power and protect their extremist agenda just a little longer. It is time to #AbolishTheFilibuster and get rid of their veto.

Washington, DC has more residents than Wyoming or Vermont. Its majority Black and Brown residents pay more per-capita in federal taxes than anywhere else in the US. It's ridiculous that they still don’t have full representation in Congress. It's long past time for #DCStatehood.
