... couldn't fit it into this piece, but the only reason we have naloxone available outside of ER's and ambulances to rapidly save people is harm reduction: Dan Bigg, a cofounder of the National Harm Reduction Coalition and a person who injected drugs himself, made street distribution go national.
Maia Szalavitz@maiasz.bsky.social · 4mo agoTrump's latest attack on harm reduction funds only tactics that help after someone's drug use has caused harm— so, yes, overdose antidotes; no, test strips to see if you're about to shoot fentanyl.... again, the cruelty is the point, my latest www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/o...

Trump administration would rather your loved ones die from overdose than find out if their drugs are contaminated with fentanyl and other dangerous adulterants. They believe that “the wages of sin” ought to be death. Meanwhile, they’re massacring people in boats to fake “protect” people from drugs.

Earlier this week, I had the honor of breaking fast at Rikers Island with New Yorkers in custody. It was a night that will stay with me for quite some time. In a system too often defined by what it takes, I was reminded of what it means to give—mercy, dignity, and humanity. Eid Mubarak, New York.
